In this paper, we study the shape of the min-max minimal hypersurface produced by Almgren-Pitts-Schoen-Simon \cite{AF62, AF65, P81, SS81} in a Riemannian manifold $(M^{n+1}, g)$ of positive Ricci curvature for all dimensions. The min-max…

We extend the DeTurck trick from the classical isotropic curve shortening flow to the anisotropic setting. Here the anisotropic energy density is allowed to depend on space, which allows an interpretation in the context of Finsler metrics,…

We show that stable solutions $u:\mathbb{R}^4\to (-1,1)$ to the Allen-Cahn equation with bounded energy density (or equivalently, with cubic energy growth) are one-dimensional. This is known to entail important geometric consequences, such…
