In this short paper we extend the classical Hoffman-Meeks Halfspace Theorem to self-shrinkers, that is: "Let $P $ be a hyperplane passing through the origin. The only properly immersed self-shrinker $\Sigma$ contained in one of the closed…

The classical theorem of F\'{a}ry states that every planar graph can be represented by an embedding in which every edge is represented by a straight line segment. We consider generalizations of F\'{a}ry's theorem to surfaces equipped with…

We discuss existence and classification of totally umbilic surfaces in the model geometries of Thurston and the Berger spheres. We classify such surfaces in $H^2 \times R$, $S^2 \times R$ and the Sol group. We prove nonexistence in the…

Let X be a closed surface of genus two embedded in the 3-sphere. Then X inherits a metric and an orientation, which give an almost complex structure, which automatically integrates to a genuine complex structure, making X a Riemann surface.…

This paper establishes the conditions under which minimal and stable minimal hypersurfaces are characterized as hyperplanes in Euclidean spaces and as totally geodesic submanifolds in Riemannian manifolds.

In the ongoing programme to classify noncommutative projective surfaces (connected graded noetherian domains of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension three) a natural question is to determine the minimal models within any birational class. In this…

Superconformal surfaces in Euclidean space are the ones for which the ellipse of curvature at any point is a nondegenerate circle. They can be characterized as the surfaces for which a well-known pointwise inequality relating the intrinsic…

In this paper we prove that, given an open Riemann surface $M$ and an integer $n\ge 3$, the set of complete conformal minimal immersions $M\to\mathbb{R}^n$ with $\overline{X(M)}=\mathbb{R}^n$ forms a dense subset in the space of all…

A surface M is called p-minimal if one of the coordinate functions is p-harmonic in the inner metric. We show that in the twodimensional case the Gaussian map of such surfaces is quasiconformal. In the case when the surface is a tube we…

Our purpose in this paper is to study isometries and isometric embeddings of the $p$-Wasserstein space $\mathcal{W}_p(\mathbb{H}^n)$ over the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ for all $p>1$ and for all $n\geq 1$. First, we create a link…
