We prove the existence of complete minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of arbitrary genus $p\, \ge\, 1$ and least total absolute curvature with precisely two ends -- one catenoidal and one Enneper-type -- thereby solving, affirmatively, a…

In this paper, we consider the $L_p$ dual Minkowski problem for capillary hypersurfaces for $p>q$ and $q\leq 1$, which aims to find a capillary convex body with a prescribed capillary $(p,q)$-th dual curvature measure in the Euclidean…

Caffarelli-Hardt-Simon used the minimal surface equation on the Simons cone $C(S^3\times S^3)$ to generate newer examples of minimal hypersurfaces with isolated singularities. Hardt-Simon proved that every area-minimizing quadratic cone…
