How do we characterize the shape of a surface? It is now well understood that the shape of a surface is determined by measuring how curved it is at each point. From these measurements, one can identify the directions of largest and smallest…

We define a new notion of total curvature, called net total curvature, for finite graphs embedded in Rn, and investigate its properties. Two guiding principles are given by Milnor's way of measuring the local crookedness of a Jordan curve…

We consider the inverse mean curvature flow in smooth Riemannian manifolds of the form $([R_{0},\infty)\times S^n,\bar{g})$ with metric $\bar{g}=dr^2+{\vartheta}^2(r){\sigma}$ and non-positive radial sectional curvature. We prove, that for…

In this paper we consider the evolution of a graph-like hypersurface by anisotropic mean curvature flow, under some restrictions on the anisotropic area integrand. We find interior estimates (in both time and space) on the gradient of such…

We obtain curvature estimates for long time solutions of the continuity method on compact K\"ahler manifolds with semi-ample canonical line bundles. In this setting, initiated in arXiv:1410.3157 and arXiv:0709.0990, we adapt arguments from…

We introduce a curvature function for planar graphs to study the connection between the curvature and the geometric and spectral properties of the graph. We show that non-positive curvature implies that the graph is infinite and locally…
