In Euclidean space we study surfaces with constant anisotropic mean curvature $\Lambda$ of the Dirichlet energy $\int_\Omega( |Du|^2+\Lambda u)$. We prove the existence of non-rotational surfaces with $\Lambda=0$ and foliated by a…

A sequence of constant mean curvature surfaces $\Sigma_j$ with mean curvature $H_j \to \infty$ in a three-dimensional manifold $M$ condenses to a compact and connected graph $\Gamma$ consisting of a finite union of curves if $\Sigma_j$ is…

A noncompact (oriented) surface satisfies the condition $(\star)$ if their isolated ends are ''accumulated by genus''. We show that every surface satisfying this condition is homeomorfic to the leaf of a minimal codimension one foliation on…

This paper investigates minimal $n$-dimensional submanifolds in the Euclidean space that are $(n-2)$-umbilic, meaning they carry an umbilical distribution of rank $n-2$. We establish a correspondence between the class of minimal…

The main point of this paper is that, under suitable conditions on the mean curvature and the Ricci curvature of the ambient space, we can extend Choi-Schoen's Compactness Theorem to compact embedded minimal surfaces to simple immersed…

Rotation minimizing vector fields and frames were introduced by Bishop as an alternative to the Frenet frame. They are used in CAGD because they can be defined even the curvature vanishes. Nevertheless, many other geometric properties have…

In this paper, we give some new characterizations of umbilic hypersurfaces in general warped product manifolds, which can be viewed as generalizations of the work in \cite{KLP18} and \cite{WX14}. Firstly, we prove the rigidity for…

With a view toward sub-Riemannian geometry, we introduce and study H-type foliations. These structures are natural generalizations of K-contact geometries which encompass as special cases K-contact manifolds, twistor spaces, 3K contact…

We prove that a totally umbilical biharmonic surface in any $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold has constant mean curvature. We use this to show that a totally umbilical surface in Thurston's 3-dimensional geometries is proper biharmonic if…

By work of Uhlenbeck, the largest principal curvature of any least area fiber of a hyperbolic $3$-manifold fibering over the circle is bounded below by one. We give a short argument to show that, along certain families of fibered hyperbolic…

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…

Near the end of his life, Bernhard Riemann made the marvelous discovery of a 1-parameter family $R_{\lambda}$, $\lambda\in (0,\infty)$, of periodic properly embedded minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with the property that every horizontal…

Motivated by questions in detecting minimal surfaces in hyperbolic manifolds, we study the behavior of geometric flows in complete hyperbolic three-manifolds. In most cases the flows develop singularities in finite time. In this paper, we…

We study biharmonic hypersurfaces in a generic Riemannian manifold. We first derive an invariant equation for such hypersurfaces generalizing the biharmonic hypersurface equation in space forms studied in \cite{Ji2}, \cite{CH}, \cite{CMO1},…

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…

In this paper we show that every area minimizing cone C^{n-1} in R^n can be approximated by entirely smooth area minimizing hypersurfaces. This extensively uses hyperbolic unfoldings of such hypersurfaces and the resulting potential theory…

We survey different classification results for surfaces with parallel mean curvature immersed into some Riemannian homogeneous four-manifolds, including real and complex space forms, and product spaces. We provide a common framework for…
