We are interested in regularity properties of semi-stable solutions for a class of singular semilinear elliptic problems with advection term defined on a smooth bounded domain of a complete Riemannian manifold with zero Dirichlet boundary…

A local uniqueness property of holomorphic functions on real-analytic nowhere minimal CR submanifolds of higher codimension is investigated. A sufficient condition called almost minimality is given and studied. A weaker necessary condition,…

Quasiminimal sets are sets for which a pertubation can decrease the area but only in a controlled manner. We prove that in dimensions $2$ and $3$, such sets separate a locally finite family of local John domains. Reciprocally, we show that…

We associate to any compact semi-algebraic set $X \subset \mathbb R^n$ a chain complex of currents $S_\ast (X)$ generated by integration along semi-algebraic submanifolds and we analyze the corresponding homology groups. In particular, we…

We are concerned with two interrelated problems: smoothability of connection 1-forms with low regularity on bundles with prescribed smooth curvature 2-forms, and existence of isometric immersions with low regularity. We first show that if…

We study normal forms of germs of singular real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces. We prove the existence of rigid normal forms for singular Levi-flat hypersurfaces which are defined by the vanishing of the real part of complex…

The Plateau-Douglas problem asks to find an area minimizing surface of fixed or bounded genus spanning a given finite collection of Jordan curves in Euclidean space. In the present paper we solve this problem in the setting of proper metric…

A connected Riemannian manifold M has constant vector curvature \epsilon, denoted by cvc(\epsilon), if every tangent vector v in TM lies in a 2-plane with sectional curvature \epsilon. By scaling the metric on M, we can always assume that…

We show that the de Rham theorem, interpreted as the isomorphism between distributional de Rham cohomology and simplicial homology in the dual dimension for a simplicial decomposition of a compact oriented manifold, is a straightforward…

We prove the three embeddedness results as follows. $({\rm i})$ Let $\Gamma_{2m+1}$ be a piecewise geodesic Jordan curve with $2m+1$ vertices in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where $m$ is an integer $\geq2$. Then the total curvature of…

We show geodesic completeness of certain compact locally symmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature $(2,n)$. Our model space $\mathbf{X}$ is a $1$-connected, indecomposable symmetric space of signature $(2,n)$, that admits a unique…

Homology features of spaces which appear in applications, for instance 3D meshes, are among the most important topological properties of these objects. Given a non-trivial cycle in a homology class, we consider the problem of computing a…

We prove that Allard's regularity theorem holds for rectifiable $n$-dimensional varifolds $V$ assuming a weaker condition on the first variation. This, in the special case when $V$ is a smooth manifold translates to the following: If…

We show that area minimising hypersurfaces mod $p$ do not admit immersed branch points, namely branch points about which all classical singularities are immersed. Furthermore, we show that if an $n$-dimensional area minimising hypersurface…

We show that closed surfaces with minimal total absolute curvature in Cartan-Hadamard 3-manifolds bound flat convex bodies. This generalizes Chern-Lashof's theorem for surfaces in Euclidean space and solves a problem posed by Gromov in…

We construct stable minimal hypersurfaces with simple topology in certain compact $4$-manifolds $X$ with boundary, where $X$ embeds into a smooth manifold homeomorphic to $S^4$. For example, if $X$ is equipped with a Riemannian metric $g$…

A 7-dimensional area-minimizing embedded hypersurface $M$ will in general have a discrete singular set. The same is true if $M$ is stable, or has bounded index, provided $H^6(sing M) = 0$. We show that if $M_i$ are a sequence of such…

We prove a generic flatness result for the cohomology of thickenings of a projective scheme that is smooth over a Noetherian domain containing a field of characteristic zero. Our study is motivated, in part, by a classical question in…

We collect several results concerning regularity of minimal laminations, and governing the various modes of convergence for sequences of minimal laminations. We then apply this theory to prove that a function has locally least gradient (is…
