This paper proves that, at the first singular time for a smoothly immersed surface moving by mean curvature flow in a n-manifold, each tangent flow is given by a smooth, branched shrinker, possibly with multiplicity. If n=3 and if the…

Assuming minimal regularity assumptions on the data, we revisit the classical problem of finding isometric immersions into the Minkowski spacetime for hypersurfaces of a Lorentzian manifold. Our approach encompasses metrics having Sobolev…

We study mean curvature flow in $\mathbb S_K^{n+1}$, the round sphere of sectional curvature $K>0$, under the quadratic curvature pinching condition $|A|^{2} < \frac{1}{n-2} H^{2} + 4 K$ when $n\ge 4$ and $|A|^{2} <…

We prove the existence of branched immersed constant mean curvature 2-spheres in an arbitrary Riemannian 3-sphere for almost every prescribed mean curvature, and moreover for all prescribed mean curvatures when the 3-sphere is positively…

The minimal surfaces meeting in triples with equal angles along a common boundary naturally arise from soap films and other physical phenomenon. They are also the natural extension of the usual minimal surface. In this paper, we consider…

In the main theorem of this paper we treat the problem of existence of minimizers of the isoperimetric problem under the assumption of small volumes. Applications of the main theorem to asymptotic expansions of the isoperimetric problem are…

We investigate the effect of the average scalar curvature on the conjugate radius, average area of the geodesic spheres, average volume of the metric balls and the total volume of a closed Riemannian manifold $N$ (or more generally $N$ with…

A new isoperimetric estimate is proved for embedded closed curves evolving by curve shortening flow, normalized to have total length $2\pi$. The estimate bounds the length of any chord from below in terms of the arc length between its…

We prove the Multiplicity One Conjecture for mean curvature flows of surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Specifically, we show that any blow-up limit of such mean curvature flows has multiplicity one. This has several applications. First, combining…

We establish Gromov's celebrated reconstruction theorem in Lorentzian geometry. Alongside this result, we introduce and study a natural concept of isomorphy of normalized bounded Lorentzian metric measure spaces. We outline applications to…

For any compact surface $\Sigma$ with smooth, non-empty boundary, we construct a free boundary minimal immersion into a Euclidean Ball $\mathbb{B}^N$ where $N$ is controlled in terms of the topology of $\Sigma$. We obtain these as…

In this note we construct a family of immersions with constant mean curvature of the twice-punctured Riemann sphere into R^3 from the Bessel equation.

Swimming in curved spacetimes is a phenomenon whereby free bodies in curved spacetimes are able to propel themselves by performing cyclic internal motions. When originally proposed, it was further suggested that, in the limit of fast…

In this paper we discuss the stability of geodesic spheres in $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ under constrained curvature flows. We prove that under some standard assumptions on the speed and weight functions, the spheres are stable under perturbations…

In this note we consider the Liouville type theorem for a properly immersed submanifold $M$ in a complete Riemmanian manifold $N$. Assume that the sectional curvature $K^N$ of $N$ satisfies…

In this overview report we generalize Erhard Heinz' curvature estimate for minimal graphs in R^3 to graphs in R^n of prescribed mean curvature. Secondly, we analyse these problems in the frame of the outer differential geometry which leads…

We consider minimizers of \[ F(\lambda_1(\Omega),\ldots,\lambda_N(\Omega)) + |\Omega|, \] where $F$ is a function nondecreasing in each parameter, and $\lambda_k(\Omega)$ is the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of $\Omega$. This includes, in…

We present a deformation for constant mean curvature tori in the 3-sphere. We show that the moduli space of equivariant constant mean curvature tori in the 3-sphere is connected, and we classify the minimal, the embedded, and the Alexandrov…

In this paper we give a lower bound on the waist of the unit sphere of a uniformly convex normed space by using the localization technique in codimension greater than one and a strong version of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem. The tools used in…

Let $M\subset S^{n+1}$ be the hypersurface generated by rotating a hypersurface $M_0$ contained in the interior of the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^{n-k+1}$. More precisely, $M=\{(\sqrt{1-|m|^2}\, y, m):y\in S^k, m\in M_0\}$. We derive the…
