A mean curvature flow starting from a closed embedded hypersurface in $R^{n+1}$ must develop singularities. We show that if the flow has only generic singularities, then the space-time singular set is contained in finitely many compact…
Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and let E be a Riemannian vector bundle over M. If $\sigma$ denotes the sphere subbundle of E, we look for embeddings of $\sigma$ into E admitting a prescribed mean curvature.
We prove a smooth compactness theorem for the space of embedded self-shrinkers in $\RR^3$. Since self-shrinkers model singularities in mean curvature flow, this theorem can be thought of as a compactness result for the space of all…
To any metric spaces there is an associated metric profile. The rectifiability of the metric profile gives a good notion of curvature of a sub-Riemannian space. We shall say that a curvature class is the rectifiability class of the metric…
We study stable compact constant mean curvature surfaces in the product spaces S2 X R and H2 X R and in some other Riemannian 3-manifolds.
In this paper, we derive curvature estimates for strongly stable hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature immersed in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, which show that the locally controlled volume growth yields a globally controlled volume growth if…
This paper develops a technique for applying one-parameter prescribed mean curvature min-max theory in certain non-compact manifolds. We give two main applications. First, fix a dimension $3\le n+1 \le 7$ and consider a smooth function…
In this paper, we study $n$-dimensional hypersurfaces with constant $m^{\text{th}}$ mean curvature $H_m$ in a unit sphere $S^{n+1}(1)$ and prove that if the $m^{\text{th}}$ mean curvature $H_m$ takes value between $\dfrac{1}{(\tan…
In this paper we prove that, given a compact four dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold (M,g) with smooth boundary there exists a metric conformal to g with constant T-curvature, zero Q-curvature and zero mean curvature under generic and…
We prove that two spheres of the same constant mean curvature in an arbitrary homogeneous three-manifold only differ by an ambient isometry, and we determine the values of the mean curvature for which such spheres exist. This gives a…
We prove that if $n$ is even, $(M,g)$ is a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold whose Pfaffian form is a positive multiple of the volume form, and $y\in C^{1,\alpha}(M;\mathbb{R}^{n+1})$ is an isometric immersion with $n/(n+1)<…
We derive extrinsic curvature estimates for compact disks embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with nonzero constant mean curvature.
We prove the existence of a large class of initial data for the vacuum Einstein equations which possess a finite number of asymptotically Euclidean and asymptotically conformally cylindrical or periodic ends. Aside from being asymptotically…
Motivated by the theory of isoparametric hypersurfaces, we study submanifolds whose tubular hypersurfaces have some constant "higher order mean curvatures". Here a $k$-th order mean curvature $Q_k$ ($k\geq1$) of a hypersurface $M^n$ is…
We prove a converse to well-known results by E. Cartan and J. D. Moore. Let $f\colon M^n_c\to\Q^{n+p}_{\tilde c}$ be an isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature $c$ into a space form of curvature…
The main result is that the qc-scalar curvature of a seven dimensional quaternionic contact Einstein manifold is a constant. In addition, we characterize qc-Einstein structures with certain flat vertical connection and develop their local…
This is a survey on the global theory of constant mean curvature surfaces in Riemannian homogeneous 3-manifolds. These ambient 3-manifolds include the eight canonical Thurston 3-dimensional geometries, i.e. R3, H3, S3, H2 \times R, S2…
A connected Riemannian manifold M has constant vector curvature \epsilon, denoted by cvc(\epsilon), if every tangent vector v in TM lies in a 2-plane with sectional curvature \epsilon. By scaling the metric on M, we can always assume that…
We classify hypersurfaces with rotational symmetry and positive constant $r$-th mean curvature in $\mathbb H^n \times \mathbb R$. Specific constant higher order mean curvature hypersurfaces invariant under hyperbolic translation are also…
he celebrated formula of Schlafli relates the variation of the dihedral angles of a smooth family of polyhedra in a space form and the variation of volume. We give a smooth analogue of this classical formula -- our result relates the…
