In any closed smooth Riemannian manifold of dimension at least three, we use the min-max construction to find anisotropic minimal hyper-surfaces with respect to elliptic integrands, with a singular set of codimension~$2$ vanishing Hausdorff…

The Ryu-Takayanagi conjecture connects the entanglement entropy in the boundary CFT to the area of open co-dimension two minimal surfaces in the bulk. Especially in AdS(4), the latter are two-dimensional surfaces, and, thus, solutions of a…

The Allen-Cahn equation is a semilinear PDE which is deeply linked to the theory of minimal hypersurfaces via a singular limit. We prove curvature estimates and strong sheet separation estimates for stable solutions (building on recent work…

A doubling covering $\U$ of a complex $n$-dimensional manifold $Y$ consists of analytic functions $\psi_j:B_1\to Y$, each function being analytically extendable, as a mapping to $Y$, to a four times larger concentric ball $B_4$. Main result…
