Branch points of a real 2-surface S in a 4-manifold M generalize the branch points of complex curves in complex surfaces: for example, they can occur as singularities of minimal surfaces. We investigate such a branch point p when S is…
We prove that on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $3$ or higher, with positive Ricci curvature, the Allen--Cahn min-max scheme (implemented by the first author and N. Wickramasekera in 2020), with prescribing function taken to be…
We prove a structural theorem that provides a precise local picture of how a sequence of closed embedded minimal hypersurfaces with uniformly bounded index (and volume if the ambient dimension is greater than three) in a Riemannian manifold…
Consider a domain D in R^3 which is convex (possibly all R^3) or which is smooth and bounded. Given any open surface M, we prove that there exists a complete, proper minimal immersion f : M --> D. Moreover, if D is smooth and bounded, then…
We generalize the classical Henneberg minimal surface by giving an infinite family of complete, finitely branched, non-orientable, stable minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. These surfaces can be grouped into subfamilies depending on a…
In this paper we show that a particular extrinsic pointwise hypersurface invariant is always non-positive on minimal hypersurfaces of constant curvature spaces and vanishes identically if and only if the hypersurface is rotational. We show…
This paper proves that classical minimal surfaces of arbitrary topological type with total boundary curvature at most 4\pi must be smoothly embedded. Related results are proved for varifolds and for soap film surfaces.
We consider a non-negative biminimal properly immersed submanifold $M$ (that is, a biminimal properly immersed submanifold with $\lambda\geq0$) in a complete Riemannian manifold $N$ with non-positive sectional curvature. Assume that the…
We prove area estimates for stable capillary $cmc$ (minimal) hypersurfaces $\Sigma$ with nonpositive Yamabe invariant that are properly immersed in a Riemannian $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ with scalar curvature $R^M$ and mean curvature of…
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…
Let $(M^{n+1},g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $3\le n+1\le 5$. We show that, if the metric $g$ is generic or if the metric $g$ has positive Ricci curvature, then $M$ contains infinitely many geometrically distinct constant…
We consider a closed Willmore surface properly immersed in ${\R}^m$ (m>2) with square-integrable second fundamental form, and with one point-singularity of finite arbitrary integer order. Using the "conservative" reformulation of the…
In this paper we prove that, given an open Riemann surface $M$ and an integer $n\ge 3$, the set of complete conformal minimal immersions $M\to\mathbb{R}^n$ with $\overline{X(M)}=\mathbb{R}^n$ forms a dense subset in the space of all…
In this paper we present some extensions of the celebrated finite point conformal compactification theorem of Huber \cite{Hu57} for complete open surfaces to general dimensions based on the n-Laplace equations in conformal geometry. We are…
Given a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove that the space of embedded, which may be improper, free boundary minimal hypersurfaces with uniform area and Morse index upper bound is compact in the sense of smoothly graphical…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a class of immersed surfaces in a three-manifold $M$, and assume that $\mathcal{A}$ is modeled by an elliptic PDE over each tangent plane. In this paper we solve the so-called Hopf uniqueness problem for the class…
We show that a bumpy closed Riemannian manifold $(M^{n+1}, g)$ $(3 \leq n+1 \leq 7)$ admits a sequence of connected closed embedded two-sided minimal hypersurfaces whose areas and Morse indices both tend to infinity. This improves a…
Totally real immersions $f$ of a closed real surface $\Sigma$ in an almost complex surface $M$ are completely classified, up to homotopy through totally real immersions, by suitably defined homotopy classes $\frak{M}(f)$ of mappings from…
We show that every bordered Riemann surface, $M$, with smooth boundary $bM$ admits a proper holomorphic map $M\to \Omega$ into any bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^n$, $n>1$, extending to a smooth map $f:\overline…
This paper is a continuation of our work on a conjecture of Almgren on area-minimizing surfaces with fractal singular sets. First, we prove that area-minimizing surfaces with fractal singular sets are prevalent on the homology level on…
