We consider the sub-Riemannian $3$-sphere $(\mathbb{S}^3,g_h)$ obtained by restriction of the Riemannian metric of constant curvature $1$ to the planar distribution orthogonal to the vertical Hopf vector field. It is known that…
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…
We consider the optimization problem of minimizing $\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^{p(x)}+ \lambda \chi_{\{u>0\}} dx$ in the class of functions $W^{1,p(\cdot)}(\Omega)$ with $u-\phi_0\in W_0^{1,p(\cdot)}(\Omega)$, for a given $\phi_0\geq 0$ and…
Consider an $(n+1)$-dimensional circular cone with opening angle $\alpha \in (0,\pi)$. Using a free-boundary adaptation of the classical calibration method, we prove that, for $n \geq 4$, there exists a threshold $\bar{\alpha}(n) \in…
We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem about spherical helicoidal (in particular, rotational) surfaces with prescribed mean or Gaussian curvature in terms of a continuous function depending on the distance to its axis. As an…
We consider area minimizing $m$-dimensional currents $\mathrm{mod}(p)$ in complete $C^2$ Riemannian manifolds $\Sigma$ of dimension $m+1$. For odd moduli we prove that, away from a closed rectifiable set of codimension $2$, the current in…
In Euclidean $3$-space, it is well known that the Sine-Gordon equation was considered in the nineteenth century in the course of investigations of surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature $K=-1$. Such a surface can be constructed from a…
We study free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball of low cohomogeneity. For each pair of positive integers $(m,n)$ such that $m, n >1$ and $m+n\geq 8$, we construct a free boundary minimal surface $\Sigma_{m, n} \subset B^{m+n}$(1)…
This paper is a continuation of our recent work [54] concerning the capillary Minkowski problem. We propose, in this paper, a capillary $L_p$-Minkowski problem for $p\geq 1$, which seeks to find a capillary convex body with a prescribed…
In this paper, we build up a min-max theory for minimal surfaces using sweepouts of surfaces of genus $g\geq 1$ and $m\geq 1$ ideal boundary components. We show that the width for the area functional can be achieved by a bubble tree limit…
In this paper, we prove that in any compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary, of dimension at least 3 and at most 7, there exist infinitely many almost properly embedded free boundary minimal hypersurfaces. This settles the free…
We prove $\varepsilon$-regularity theorems for varifolds with capillary boundary condition in a Riemannian manifold. These varifolds were first introduced by Kagaya-Tonegawa \cite{KaTo}. We establish a uniform first variation control for…
In this paper we prove that a capillary minimal surface outside the unit ball in $\mathbb {R}^3$ with one embedded end and finite total curvature must be either part of the plane or part of the catenoid. We also prove that a capillary…
In this paper, by considering a special case of the spacelike mean curvature flow investigated by Li and Salavessa [6], we get a condition for the existence of smooth solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surface equation in…
This is the second paper in our sequence. Here, we apply our abstract Morse index formulation developed in the previous paper to study several optimization set-ups with constraints, including type I or/and type II considerations. A common…
Extending work of Kapouleas and Yang, for any integers $N \geq 2$, $k, \ell \geq 1$, and $m$ sufficiently large, we apply gluing methods to construct in the round $3$-sphere a closed embedded minimal surface that has genus $k\ell…
We consider non-orientable closed surfaces of minimum crosscap number in the $(p,q)$-lens space $L(p,q) \cong V_1 \cup_{\partial} V_2$, where $V_1$ and $V_2$ are solid tori. Bredon and Wood gave a formula for calculating the minimum…
We study minimizing singular cones with free boundary associated with the capillarity problem. Precisely, we provide a stability criterion $\`a$ la Jerison-Savin for capillary hypersurfaces and show that, in dimensions up to $4$, minimizing…
We employ min-max techniques to show that the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^3$ contains embedded free boundary minimal surfaces with connected boundary and arbitrary genus.
We prove a gradient estimate for a class of capillary curvature equations in the half-space. As an application, we prove the existence of an even, smooth, strictly convex solution to the even capillary $L_p$-curvature problem for all…
