A classical result by Marston Morse asserts that on some ellipsoids of ${\mathbb R}^3$ there exists exactly 3 closed and simple geodesics. The goal of this presentation is to prove that this rigidity result does not extend to higher…

We prove that strong finite total curvature complete hypersurfaces of (n+1)-euclidean space are proper and diffeomorphic to a compact manifold minus finitely many points. With an additional condition, we also prove that the Gauss map of…

In this work, we study the space of complete embedded rotationally symmetric self-shrinking hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. First, using comparison geometry in the context of metric geometry, we derive explicit upper bounds for the…

In this article we prove that all boundary points of a minimal oriented hypersurface in a Riemannian manifold are regular, that is, in a neighborhood of any boundary point, the minimal surface is a $\mathcal{C}^{1, \frac14}$ submanifold…

For an immersed minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we show that there exists a lower bound on its Morse index that depends on the genus and number of ends, counting multiplicity. This improves, in several ways, an estimate we previously…

We develop a min-max theory for certain complete minimal hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space. In particular, we show that given two strictly stable minimal hypersurfaces that are both asymptotic to the same ideal boundary, there is a new one…

In this paper, we give a new proof of the splitting theorem on manifolds with nonnegative spectral Ricci curvature proved in [APX24, CMMR24, HW26]. Furthermore, by constructing weighted minimizing geodesics at infinity, we show that minimal…

We develop a bubble-compactness theory for embedded CMC hypersurfaces with bounded index and area inside closed Riemannian manifolds in low dimensions. In particular we show that convergence always occurs with multiplicity one, which…

Already in $\bf{R}^4$, there are many known examples of minimal hypersurfaces, yet few structural results. We show that minimal submanifolds, of any dimension, that are confined in space are very restricted. It is well-known that the…

Let H:(M,p)->(M',p') be a formal mapping between two germs of real-analytic generic submanifolds in C^N with nonvanishing Jacobian. Assuming M to be minimal at p and M' holomorphically nondegenerate at p', we prove the convergence of the…

We prove a compactness theorem for embedded measured hyperbolic Riemann surface laminations in a compact almost complex manifold $(X, J)$. To prove compactness result, we show that there is a suitable topology on the space of measured…

For almost all Riemannian metrics (in the $C^\infty$ Baire sense) on a closed manifold $M^{n+1}$, $3\leq (n+1)\leq 7$, we prove that there is a sequence of closed, smooth, embedded, connected minimal hypersurfaces that is equidistributed in…

It is known since the work of Frankel that two compactly immersed minimal hypersurfaces in a manifold with positive Ricci curvature must have an intersection point. Several generalizations of this result can be found in the literature, for…

The disk complex of a surface in a 3-manifold is used to define its {\it topological index}. Surfaces with well-defined topological index are shown to generalize well-known classes, such as incompressible, strongly irreducible, and critical…
