In this paper, we present two rigidity results for stable constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces immersed in $3$-manifolds with positive scalar curvature, assuming that the Hawking mass is zero. In the first result, we assume the surface to…

In 1991 De Giorgi conjectured that, given $\lambda >0$, if $\mu_\varepsilon$ stands for the density of the Allen-Cahn energy and $v_\varepsilon$ represents its first variation, then $\int [v_\varepsilon^2 + \lambda] d\mu_\varepsilon$ should…

The Willmore conjecture states that any immersion F:T^2 -> R^n of a 2-torus into flat euclidean space satisfies $\int_{T^2} H^2\geq 2\pi^2$. We prove it under the condition that the L^p-norm of the Gaussian curvature is sufficiently small.
