We classify completely the surfaces of general type whose canonical map is 3-to-1 onto a surface of minimal degree in projective space. These surfaces fall into 5 distinct classes and we give explicit examples belonging to each of these…

Invariant minimal surfaces in the real special linear group of degree 2 with canonical Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics are studied. Constant mean curvature surfaces with vertically harmonic Gau{\ss} map are classified.

In 1966, Jenkins and Serrin gave existence and uniqueness results for infinite boundary value problems of minimal surfaces in the Euclidean space, and after that such solutions have been studied by using the univalent harmonic mapping…

Let $X$ be a normed space that satisfies the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma (J-L lemma, in short) in the sense that for any integer $n$ and any $x_1,\ldots,x_n\in X$ there exists a linear mapping $L:X\to F$, where $F\subseteq X$ is a linear…

Consider two manifolds~$M^m$ and $N^n$ and a first-order Lagrangian $L(u)$ for mappings $u:M\to N$, i.e., $L$ is an expression involving $u$ and its first derivatives whose value is an $m$-form (or more generally, an $m$-density) on~$M$.…

A regular map is a surface together with an embedded graph, having properties similar to those of the surface and graph of a platonic solid. We analyze regular maps with reflection symmetry and a graph of density strictly exceeding 1/2, and…

Let $\rho_\Sigma=h(|z|^2)$ be a metric in a Riemann surface $\Sigma$, where $h$ is a positive real function. Let $\mathcal H_{r_1}=\{w=f(z)\}$ be the family of univalent $\rho_\Sigma$ harmonic mapping of the Euclidean annulus…

This paper belongs to the realm of conformal geometry and deals with Euclidean submanifolds that admit smooth variations that are infinitesimally conformal. Conformal variations of Euclidean submanifolds is a classical subject in…

We elucidate the geometric background of function-theoretic properties for the Gauss maps of several classes of immersed surfaces in three-dimensional space forms, for example, minimal surfaces in Euclidean three-space, improper affine…

The book is designed for a semester-long course in Foundations of Geometry and meant to be rigorous, conservative, elementary and minimalist. List of topics: Euclidean geometry: The Axioms / Half-planes / Congruent triangles / Perpendicular…

For a surface immersed in a three-dimensional space endowed with a norm instead of an inner product, one can define analogous concepts of curvature and metric. With these concepts in mind, various questions immediately appear. The aim of…

We give a criterion for maps on ultrametric spaces to be surjective and to preserve spherical completeness. We show how Hensel's Lemma and the multi-dimensional Hensel's Lemma follow from our result. We give an easy proof that the latter…

It is shown that each continuous transformation $h$ from Euclidean $m$-space ($m>1$) into Euclidean $n$-space that preserves the equality of distances (that is, fulfils the implication $|x-y|=|z-w|\Rightarrow|h(x)-h(y)|=|h(z)-h(w)|$) is a…

Given a two--dimensional mapping $U$ whose components solve a divergence structure elliptic equation, we give necessary and sufficient conditions on the boundary so that $U$ is a global diffeomorphism.

In this work, various versions of the so-called Omega-Lemma are provided, which ensure differentiability properties of pushforwrds between spaces of C^r-sections (or compactly supported C^r-sections) in vector bundles over…

We construct a Riemannian metric $g$ on $\mathbb{R}^4$ (arbitrarily close to the euclidean one) and a smooth simple closed curve $\Gamma\subset \mathbb R^4$ such that the unique area minimizing surface spanned by $\Gamma$ has infinite…

We construct a sequence of smooth minimizing surfaces in a sequence of metrics converging to the standard Euclidean metric, so that they have diverging $L^2$ norm of second fundamental form.

We introduce a new invariant, the real (logarithmic)-Kodaira dimension, that allows to distinguish smooth real algebraic surfaces up to birational diffeomorphism. As an application, we construct infinite families of smooth rational real…

The theory of surfaces in Euclidean space can be naturally formulated in the more general context of Legendre surfaces into the space of contact elements. We address the question of deformability of Legendre surfaces with respect to the…

We prove that if an asymptotically Schwarzschildean 3-manifold (M,g) contains a properly embedded stable minimal surface, then it is isometric to the Euclidean space. This implies, for instance, that in presence of a positive ADM mass any…
