In an incompressible velocity field, the surface area of a volume varies with time, but volume remains unchanged. If incidentally the surface becomes spherical along time, the area reaches a local minimum, since sphere has the least area…

In this article a relation between curvature functionals for surfaces in the Euclidean space and area functionals in relative differential geometry will be given. Relative differential geometry can be described as the geometry of surfaces…

In this note we improve a result of Steffens on the lower bound for Seshadri constants in very general points of a surface with one-dimensional N\'eron-Severi space. We also show a multi-point counterpart of such a lower bound.

In this paper, we characterize and study dynamical properties of cubic vector fields on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^2 = \{(x, y, z) \in \mathbb{R}^3 ~|~ x^2+y^2+z^2 = 1\}$. We start by classifying all degree three polynomial vector fields on…

Massive $U(1)$ gauge theories featuring parametrically light vectors are suspected to belong in the Swampland of consistent EFTs that cannot be embedded into a theory of quantum gravity. We study four-dimensional, chiral $U(1)$ gauge…

We prove a pair of sharp reverse isoperimetric inequalities for domains in nonpositively curved surfaces: (1) metric disks centered at the vertex of a Euclidean cone of angle at least $2\pi$ have minimal area among all nonpositively curved…

We present a short and flexible improvement-of-flatness argument adapted to the setting of exterior domains, where one is naturally led to work with annuli instead of balls. As a model application in the classical setting of minimal…
