We study singularities of spacelike, constant (non-zero) mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space $L^3$. We show how to solve the singular Bj\"orling problem for such surfaces, which is stated as follows: given a real…

We study a wide spectrum of incidence problems involving points and curves or points and surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$. The current (and in fact the only viable) approach to such problems, pioneered by Guth and Katz [2010,2015], requires a…

We determine all helical surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space which possess a constant ratio $a:=\kappa_1/\kappa_2$ of principal curvatures (CRPC surfaces), thus providing the first explicit CRPC surfaces beyond the known…

Finite topology self translating surfaces to mean curvature flow of surfaces constitute a key element for the analysis of Type II singularities from a compact surface, since they arise in a limit after suitable blow-up scalings around the…

The concept of a normal surface in a triangulated, compact 3-manifold was generalised by Thurston to a spun-normal surface in a non-compact 3-manifold with ideal triangulation. This paper defines a boundary curve map which takes a…

This paper is devoted to the 3-dimensional relative differential geometry of surfaces. In the Euclidean space $\R{E} ^3 $ we consider a surface $\varPhi %\colon \vect{x} = \vect{x}(u^1,u^2) $ with position vector field $\vect{x}$, which is…

The structure equations for a surface are introduced and two required results based on the Codazzi equations are obtained from them. Important theorems pertaining to isometric surfaces are stated and a theorem of Bonnet is obtained. A…
