We develop some basic facts on deformations of exterior differential ideals on a smooth complex algebraic variety. With these tools we study deformations of several types of differential ideals, leading to several irreducible components of…

We consider surfaces in Euclidean space parametrized on an annular domain such that the first fundamental form and the principal curvatures are rotationally invariant, and the principal curvature directions only depend on the angle of…

A conjecture related to the Bartnik quasilocal mass, is that the infimum of the ADM energy, over an appropriate space of extensions to a compact 3-manifold with boundary, is realised by a static metric. It was shown by Corvino [Comm. Math.…

In this article we extend several foundational results of the theory of complete minimal surfaces of finite index in the Euclidean space to minimal surfaces in asymptotically flat manifolds and, more generally, to marginally outer-trapped…

This short survey illustrates the ideas of Teichmuller dynamics. As a model application we consider the asymptotic topology of generic geodesics on a "flat" surface and count closed geodesics and saddle connections. This survey is based on…

We study a higher order analogue to the Alt-Caffarelli functional that arises in several shape optimization problems, among which the minimization of the critical buckling load of a clamped plate of fixed area. We obtain several regularity…

We prove sharp homogeneous improvements to $L^1$ weighted Hardy inequalities involving distance from the boundary. In the case of a smooth domain, we obtain lower and upper estimates for the best constant of the remainder term. These…

Recent literature on Weil-Petersson random hyperbolic surfaces has met a consistent obstacle: the necessity to condition the model, prohibiting certain rare geometric patterns (which we call tangles), such as short closed geodesics or…

We consider the behavior of the nonlocal minimal surfaces in the vicinity of the boundary. By a series of detailed examples, we show that nonlocal minimal surfaces may stick at the boundary of the domain, even when the domain is smooth and…

Discrete forms of the mean and directed curvature are constructed on piecewise flat manifolds, providing local curvature approximations for smooth manifolds embedded in both Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces. The resulting expressions take…

In this paper we generalize the well-known notions of affine arclength and affine hypersurface measure to submanifolds of any dimension $d$ in $\mathbb R^n$ , $1 \leq d \leq n-1$. We show that a canonical affine invariant measure exists and…

In axially symmetric spacetimes the Penrose inequality can be strengthened to include angular momentum. We prove a version of this inequality for minimal surfaces, more precisely, a lower bound for the ADM mass in terms of the area of a…

Motivated by the intermediate Lang conjectures on hyperbolicity and rational points, we prove new finiteness results for non-constant morphisms from a fixed variety to a fixed variety defined over a number field by applying Faltings's…

We investigate how thin structures change their shape in response to non-mechanical stimuli that can be interpreted as variations in the structure's natural curvature. Starting from the theory of non-Euclidean plates and shells, we derive…

This is a short survey on the connection between general extension theories and the study of realizations of elliptic operators A on smooth domains in R^n, n > 1. The theory of pseudodifferential boundary problems has turned out to be very…

We prove the existence of sectors of minimal growth for general closed extensions of elliptic cone operators under natural ellipticity conditions. This is achieved by the construction of a suitable parametrix and reduction to the boundary.…

We discover new monotonicity formulae for minimal submanifolds in space forms, which imply the sharp area bound for minimal submanifolds through a prescribed point in a geodesic ball. These monotonicity formulae involve an energy-like…

We analyze and test using Fourier extensions that minimize a Hilbert space norm for the purpose of solving partial differential equations (PDEs) on surfaces. In particular, we prove that the approach is arbitrarily high-order and also show…

Using the functional associated with the optimal Wente inequality for pairs of functions on 2-dimensional domains, we show the existence of solutions to the H-system on an annulus satisfying Neumann boundary conditions.

The problem of binary minimization of a quadratic functional in the configuration space is discussed. In order to increase the efficiency of the random-search algorithm it is proposed to change the energy functional by raising to a power…
