In this paper, we study the mean curvature type flow for hypersurfaces in the unit Euclidean ball with capillary boundary, which was introduced by Wang-Xia and Wang-Weng. We show that if the initial hypersurface is strictly convex, then the…

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…

In this paper, we study stable constant mean curvature $H$ surfaces in $\R^3$. We prove that, in such a surface, the distance from a point to the boundary is less that $\pi/(2H)$. This upper-bound is optimal and is extended to stable…

In this paper, we first prove a rigidity result for a Serrin-type partially overdetermined problem in the half-space, which gives a characterization of capillary spherical caps by the overdetermined problem. In the second part, we prove…

Embedded minimal surfaces of finite total curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ are reasonably well understood: From far away, they look like intersecting catenoids and planes, suitably desingularized. We consider the larger class of harmonic…

We prove that any complete, embedded minimal surface $M$ with finite topology in a homogeneous three-manifold $N$ has positive injectivity radius. When one relaxes the condition that $N$ be homogeneous to that of being locally homogeneous,…
