We prove several topological properties of linear Weingarten surfaces of Bryant type, as wave fronts in hyperbolic 3-space. For example, we show the orientability of such surfaces, and also co-orientability when they are not flat. Moreover,…
We define cuspidal curvature $\kappa_c$ (resp. normalized cuspidal curvature $\mu_c$) along cuspidal edges (resp. at swallowtail singularity) in Riemannian $3$-manifolds, and show that it gives a coefficient of the divergent term of the…
We classify the topological types of surfaces in the 3-dimensional unit sphere that contain both a great and a small circle through each point. In particular, these surfaces are homeomorphic to one of five normal forms and are either the…
For a regular curve on a spacelike surface in Lorentz-Minkowski $3$-space, we have a moving frame along the curve which is called a Lorentzian Darboux frame. We introduce five special vector fields along the curve associated to the…

In this paper, we study hypersurfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space $\mathbb{L}^{n+1}$ that are stationary for the moment of inertia with respect to the origin. After giving examples and applications of the maximum principle, we classify, in…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the singular Bj\"{o}rling data to the singular Bj\"{o}rling problem's solution has a prescribed nature of singularity. As an application, we prove that near a maxface with a particular type of…
As in the case of minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space, the reflection principle for maximal surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space asserts that if a maximal surface has a spacelike line segment $L$, the surface is invariant under…
The node-opening technique, originally designed for constructing minimal surfaces, is adapted to construct a rich variety of new maxfaces of high genus that are embedded outside a compact set and have arbitrarily many catenoid or planar…
In this paper, we define two types of helicoidal surfaces of non-lightlike frontals in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space and investigate when they become lightcone framed base surfaces. Moreover, by constructing appropriate diffeomorphic…
We construct a complete, embedded minimal surface in euclidean 3-space which has unbounded Gaussian curvature. It has infinite genus, infinitely many catenoidal type ends and one limit end.
A marginally trapped surface in a spacetime is a Riemannian surface whose mean curvature vector is lightlike at every point. In this paper we give an up-to-date overview of the differential geometric study of these surfaces in Minkowski, de…
In this paper, we investigate the differential geometric properties of lightcone framed surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space. In general, a mixed type surface is a connected regular surface with non-empty spacelike and timelike point sets.…
The lightlike geometry of codimension two spacelike submanifolds in Lorentz-Minkowski space has been developed in [Izumiya, S. and Romero Fuster, M. C. Selecta Mathematica (NS), 13 23--55 (2007)] which is a natural Lorentzian analogue of…
The 2-parameter family of certain homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds which includes Minkowski 3-space and anti-de Sitter 3-space is considered. Each homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifold in the 2-parameter family has a solvable Lie group…
In this work, we study spacelike surfaces in Minkowski space $E_1^3$ foliated by pieces of circles and that satisfy a linear Weingarten condition of type $a H+b K=c$, where $a,b$ and $c$ are constant and $H$ and $K$ denote the mean…
We classify complete orientable hypersurfaces of constant isotropic curvature in space forms. We show that such a hypersurface has constant mean curvature only if it is an isoparametric hypersurface, and that it is minimal if and only if it…
In this paper we characterize logarithmic surfaces which admit K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with negative scalar curvature and small edge singularities along a normal crossing divisor.
A smooth affine minimal surface with indefinite metric can be obtained from a pair of smooth non-intersecting spatial curves by Lelieuvre's formulas. These surfaces may present singularities, which are generically cuspidal edges and…
We characterize the standard $\mathbb{S}^3$ as the closed Ricci-positive 3-manifold with scalar curvature at least 6 having isoperimetric surfaces of largest area: $4\pi$. As a corollary we answer in the affirmative an interesting special…
