In this paper we investigate the properties of small surfaces of Willmore type in Riemannian manifolds. By \emph{small} surfaces we mean topological spheres contained in a geodesic ball of small enough radius. In particular, we show that if…

There are several solutions of Einstein field equations that describe an inhomogeneity in an expanding universe. Among these solutions, the McVittie metric and its generalizations have been investigated through decades, though a full…

It is known that the so-called rotation minimizing (RM) frames allow for a simple and elegant characterization of geodesic spherical curves in Euclidean, hyperbolic, and spherical spaces through a certain linear equation involving the…

We construct stationary flat three-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds with singularities that are obtained from Euclidean surfaces with cone singularities and closed one-forms on these surfaces. In the application to (2+1)-gravity, these…

Bounds for the area of general closed marginally trapped surfaces (MTSs) are presented. They do not require any stability condition, and are determined by a constant that depends on a particular component of the Einstein tensor on the…

We study the formation of images in a reflective sphere in three configurations using caustics of the field of light rays. The optical wavefront emerging from a source point reaching a subject following passage through the optical system…

A polygonal surface in the pseudo-hyperbolic space H^(2,n) is a complete maximal surface bounded by a lightlike polygon in the Einstein universe Ein^(1,n) with finitely many vertices. In this article, we give several characterizations of…

Stability of a photon sphere, or stability of circular null geodesics on the sphere, plays a key role in its applications to astrophysics. For instance, an unstable photon sphere is responsible for determining the size of a black hole…

In Einstein-scalar-Maxwell theories with a coupling between the scalar field $\phi$ and the electromagnetic field strength $F$ of the form $\mu(\phi) F$, we investigate the existence of exotic compact objects (ECOs) and their observational…

In this paper we define the magnitude of metric spaces using measures rather than finite subsets as had been done previously and show that this agrees with earlier work with Leinster in arXiv:0908.1582. An explicit formula for the magnitude…

For a regular surface in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$, umbilic points are precisely the points where the Gauss and mean curvatures $K$ and $H$ satisfy $H^2=K$; moreover, it is well-known that the only totally umbilic surfaces in…
