We study the Ambrozio--Carlotto--Sharp (ACS) criterion on minimal isoparametric hypersurfaces $N^{n+1}\subset S^{n+2}$ with positive Ricci curvature, motivated by the Schoen--Marques--Neves conjecture on Morse index.For $g=4$ distinct…

We establish a general `gluing theorem', which states roughly that if two nondegenerate constant mean curvature surfaces are juxtaposed, so that their tangent planes are parallel and very close to one another, but oppositely oriented, then…

We establish the short-time existence of the Ricci flow on surfaces with a finite number of conic points, all with cone angle between 0 and $2\pi$, where the cone angles remain fixed or change in some smooth prescribed way. For the…

We find sharp absolute constants $C_1$ and $C_2$ with the following property: every well-rounded lattice of rank 3 in a Euclidean space has a minimal basis so that the solid angle spanned by these basis vectors lies in the interval…

The study of minimal surfaces has a long history, due to the important applications. Given a fixed boundary, one wants to minimise the surface area: this can be used, for example, to minimise the area of the roof of a building. Similarly,…

We collect several results concerning regularity of minimal laminations, and governing the various modes of convergence for sequences of minimal laminations. We then apply this theory to prove that a function has locally least gradient (is…

We prove that a deformation of a hypersurface in a $(n+1)$-dimensional real space form ${\mathbb S}^{n+1}_{p,1}$ induce a Hamiltonian variation of the normal congruence in the space ${\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{n+1}_{p,1})$ of oriented…

We study surfaces of constant positive Gauss curvature in Euclidean 3-space via the harmonicity of the Gauss map. Using the loop group representation, we solve the regular and the singular geometric Cauchy problems for these surfaces, and…

We apply the complex analysis over the double numbers $D$ to study the minimal time-like surfaces in $R^4_2$. A minimal time-like surface which is free of degenerate points is said to be of general type. We divide the minimal time-like…

We will investigate the local geometry of the surfaces in the $7$-dimensional Euclidean space associated to harmonic maps from a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ into $S^6$. By applying methods based on the use of harmonic sequences, we will…

We classify all surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature $K$ in Euclidean $3$-space that can be expressed as an implicit equation of type $f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0$, where $f$, $g$ and $h$ are real functions of one variable. If $K=0$, we prove…
