In this note, we answer positively a question of Yau by proving the existence of closed minimal surfaces with negative induced curvature in any sphere of large dimension. The proof follows the strategy of Song, applying it to closed Riemann…

In this paper, we give a lower bound for the spectrum of the Laplacian on minimal hypersurfaces immersed into $H^m \times R$. As an application, in dimension 2, we prove that a complete minimal surface with finite total extrinsic curvature…

We consider hypersurfaces of products $M\times\mathbb R$ with constant $r$-th mean curvature $H_r\ge 0$ (to be called $H_r$-hypersurfaces), where $M$ is an arbitrary Riemannian $n$-manifold. We develop a general method for constructing…

For each $k\geq2$, we construct two families of surfaces with constant mean curvature $H$ for $H\in[0,1/2]$ in $\Sigma(\kappa)\times\R$ where $\kappa+4H^2\leq0$. The surfaces are invariant under $2\pi/k$-rotations about a vertical fiber of…

In this paper we generalize a classical result of Bour concerning helicoidal surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space R^3 to the case of helicoidal surfaces in the Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu (BCV) spaces, i.e. in the Riemannian…

We study the mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in $\R^{n+1}$, with initial surfaces sufficiently close to the standard $n$-dimensional sphere. The closeness is in the Sobolev norm with the index greater than $\frac{n}{2}+1$ and therefore…

In this paper we study rotational surfaces in the space $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ whose mean curvature is given as a prescribed function of their angle function. These surfaces generalize, among others, the ones of constant mean…

We give a new existence proof for closed hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature in Lorentzian manifolds.

In this article we survey recent developments in the theory of constant mean curvature surfaces in homogeneous 3-manifolds, as well as some related aspects on existence and descriptive results for $H$-laminations and CMC foliations of…

We present a general construction of embedded minimal and constant mean curvature surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^n$ and one-phase free boundaries joined by a smooth interpolation by capillary hypersurfaces. This framework recovers all known…

We investigate complete minimal hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space $% \ {R}^{4}$, with Gauss-Kronecker curvature identically zero. We prove that, if $f:M^{3}\to {R}^{4}$ is a complete minimal hypersurface with Gauss-Kronecker curvature…

We consider closed immersed hypersurfaces evolving by surface diffusion flow, and perform an analysis based on local and global integral estimates. First we show that a properly immersed stationary (\Delta H \equiv 0) hypersurface in \R^3…

We deal with minimal surfaces in the unit sphere $S^3$, which are one-parameter families of circles. Minimal surfaces in $\R^3$ foliated by circles were first investigated by Riemann, and a hundred years later Lawson constructed examples of…

We give a partial local description of minimal hypersurfaces $M^3$ with identically zero Gau\ss-Kronecker curvature function in the unit 4-sphere $\Bbb{S}^4(1)$, without assumption on the compactness of $M^3$.

In this paper we finish the classification of rotational special Weingarten surfaces in S^2 x R and H^2 x R; i.e. rotational surfaces in S^2 x R and H^2 x R whose mean curvature h and extrinsic curvature K_e satisfy h=f(h^2-K_e), for some…

We prove that the Gauss curvature and the curvature of the normal connection of any minimal surface in the four dimensional Euclidean space satisfy an inequality, which generates two classes of minimal surfaces: minimal surfaces of general…

We prove the nonexistence of stable immersed minimal surfaces uniformly conformally equivalent to the complex plane in any complete orientable four-dimensional Riemannian manifold with uniformly positive isotropic curvature. We also…

We give a new proof for the existence of mean curvature flow with surgery of 2-convex hypersurfaces in $R^N$, as announced in arXiv:1304.0926. Our proof works for all $N \geq 3$, including mean convex surfaces in $R^3$. We also derive a…

We prove that given two metrics $g_{+}$ and $g_{-}$ with curvature $\kappa <-1$ on a closed, oriented surface $S$ of genus $\tau\geq 2$, there exists an $AdS$ manifold $N$ with smooth, space-like, strictly convex boundary such that the…

Minimal surfaces in the Riemannian product of surfaces of constant curvature have been considered recently, particularly as these products arise as spaces of oriented geodesics of 3-dimensional space-forms. This papers considers more…
