For a regular surface in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$, umbilic points are precisely the points where the Gauss and mean curvatures $K$ and $H$ satisfy $H^2=K$; moreover, it is well-known that the only totally umbilic surfaces in…

We prove existence and uniqueness of entire spacelike hypersurfaces in the Minkowski space with prescribed negative scalar curvature, and with given values at infinity which stay at a bounded distance of a lightcone.

This paper investigates the geometry and singularities of parallel surfaces of cuspidal cross caps, the fundamental non-front frontal singularities. We establish a criterion for the degeneracy of the distance squared function in terms of…

Several uniqueness results on compact maximal hypersurfaces in a wide class of sta- bly causal spacetimes are given. They are obtained from the study of a distinguished function on the maximal hypersurface, under suitable natural first…

Standard singularity theorems are proven in Lorentzian manifolds of arbitrary dimension n if they contain closed trapped submanifolds of arbitrary co-dimension. By using the mean curvature vector to characterize trapped submanifolds, a…

In this article, we study spacelike and timelike rotational surfaces in a 3--dimensional de Sitter space $\mathbb{S}^3_1$ which are the orbit of a regular curve under the action of the orthogonal transformation of 4--dimensional Minkowski…

In this paper we prove that the generic singularities of mean curvature flow of closed embedded surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$ modeled by closed self-shrinkers with multiplicity has multiplicity one. Together with the previous result by…

It is well-known that cross caps on surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space can be expressed in Bruce-West's normal form, which is a special local coordinate system centered at the singular point. In this paper, we show a certain kind of…

In the present paper, we discuss the singular minimal surfaces in a Euclidean 3-space R^{3} which are minimal. In fact, such a surface is nothing but a plane, a trivial outcome. However, a non-trivial outcome is obtained when we modify the…

We rigorously show the existence of a rotationally and centrally symmetric "lens-shaped" cluster of three surfaces, meeting at a smooth common circle, forming equal angles of 120 degrees, self-shrinking under the motion by mean curvature.

In this work, complete constant mean curvature 1 (CMC-1) surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space with total absolute curvature at most 4 pi are classified. This classification suggests that the Cohn-Vossen inequality can be sharpened for surfaces…

We complement recent work of Gallardo, Pearlstein, Schaffler, and Zhang, showing that the stable surfaces with $K_X^2 =1$ and $\chi(\mathcal O_X) = 3$ they construct are indeed the only ones arising from imposing an exceptional unimodal…

We construct triply periodic zero mean curvature surfaces of mixed type in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space, with the same topology as the triply periodic minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space, called Schwarz rPD surfaces.

The purpose in this paper is to study the maximal hypersurfaces with multiple light-cones in Lorentz-Minkowski space by considering the weak solutions to the mean curvature equation with multiple Dirac masses. Such solutions are constructed…

In the Minkowski space, we consider a compact, spacelike hypersurface with boundary, which can be written as a graph on a spacelike hyperplane. We prove that, if its $k$-th mean curvature is constant, and its boundary is on the hyperplane…

We classify the singular loci of real surfaces in three-space that contain two circles through each point. We characterize how a circle in such a surface meets this loci as it moves in its pencil and as such provide insight into the…

In this paper we define $q$-spherical surfaces as the surfaces that contain the absolute conic of the Euclidean space as a $q-$fold curve. Particular attention is paid to the surfaces with singular points of the highest order. Two classes…

In this paper, we prove a similar result to the fundamental theorem of regular surfaces in classical differential geometry, which extends the classical theorem to the entire class of singular surfaces in Euclidean 3-space known as frontals.…

We prove that a maximal surface in Lorentz-Minkowski space $\Bbb L^3$ can be extended analytically along its boundary if the boundary lies in a plane meeting the surface at a constant angle.

We construct maximal hypersurfaces with a Neumann boundary condition in Minkowski space via mean curvature flow. In doing this we give general conditions for long time existence of the flow with boundary conditions with assumptions on the…
