In this paper we study the steepest descent $L^2$-gradient flow of the functional $\SW_{\lambda_1,\lambda_2}$, which is the the sum of the Willmore energy, $\lambda_1$-weighted surface area, and $\lambda_2$-weighted enclosed volume, for…

Normalizing flows are a powerful technique for obtaining reparameterizable samples from complex multimodal distributions. Unfortunately current approaches fall short when the underlying space has a non trivial topology, and are only…

A family of embedded rotationally symmetric tori in the Euclidean 3-space consisting of two opposite signed constant mean curvature surfaces that converge as varifolds to a double round sphere is constructed. Using complete elliptic…

The purpose of this article is three-fold. First, we apply a general theorem from our earlier work to produce many new minimal doublings of the Clifford Torus in the round three-sphere. This construction generalizes and unifies prior…

We study the sublevel sets of the Willmore energy on the space of smoothly immersed $ 2 $-spheres in Euclidean $ 3 $-space. We show that the subset of immersions with energy at most $ 12\pi $ consists of four regular homotopy classes.…

In 1965, T. J. Willmore conjectured that the integral of the square of the mean curvature of a torus immersed in Euclidean three-space is at least 2\pi^2. We prove this conjecture using the min-max theory of minimal surfaces.

In this paper, we present a novel approach for fluid dynamic simulations by harnessing the capabilities of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) guided by the newly unveiled principle of minimum pressure gradient (PMPG). In a PINN…

We introduce a non-local $L^2$-gradient flow for the Willmore energy of immersed surfaces which preserves the isoperimetric ratio. For spherical initial data with energy below an explicit threshold, we show long-time existence and…

We study the loss surface of DNNs with $L_{2}$ regularization. We show that the loss in terms of the parameters can be reformulated into a loss in terms of the layerwise activations $Z_{\ell}$ of the training set. This reformulation reveals…

We construct embedded Willmore tori with small area constraint in Riemannian three-manifolds under some curvature condition used to prevent M\"obius degeneration. The construction relies on a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction; to this aim we…

This paper is dedicated to the exploration of the conformal Willmore functional for surfaces within 4-dimensional conformal manifolds. We provide a detailed calculation of both the first and second variations, and present the Euler-Lagrange…

We found a new formulation to the Euler-Lagrange equation of the Willmore functional for immersed surfaces in ${\R}^m$. This new formulation of Willmore equation appears to be of divergence form, moreover, the non-linearities are made of…

We consider the $L^2$ gradient flow for the Willmore functional in Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. In the euclidean case E.\;Kuwert and R.\;Sch\"atzle [\textsl{Gradient flow for the Willmore functional,} Comm. Anal. Geom., 10:…

The paper is devoted to the variational analysis of the Willmore, and other L^2 curvature functionals, among immersions of 2-dimensional surfaces into a compact riemannian m-manifold (M^m,h) with m>2. The goal of the paper is twofold, on…

We address in this paper the study of a geometric evolution, corresponding to a curvature which is non-local and singular at the origin. The curvature represents the first variation of the energy recently proposed as a variant of the…
