The disk complex of a surface in a 3-manifold is used to define its {\it topological index}. Surfaces with well-defined topological index are shown to generalize well-known classes, such as incompressible, strongly irreducible, and critical…
Some properties of non-orientable 3-manifolds are shown. The semi-group of cobordism of immersions of surfaces in such manifolds is computed and proven actually to be a group. Explicit invariants are provided.
In this paper we study the existence of solutions to an isotropic differential inclusion.
We show that every topological surface lamination of a 3-manifold M is isotopic to one with smoothly immersed leaves. This carries out a project proposed by Gabai in [Problems in foliations and laminations, AMS/IP Stud. Adv. Math. 2.2…
A novel class of integrable surfaces is recorded. This class of O surfaces is shown to include and generalize classical surfaces such as isothermic, constant mean curvature, minimal, `linear' Weingarten, Guichard and Petot surfaces and…
We define a notion of isotropic surfaces in $\mathbb{O}$, i.e. on which some canonical symplectic forms vanish. Using the cross-product in $\mathbb{O}$ we define a map $\rho\colon Gr\_2(\mathbb{O})\to S^6$ from the Grassmannian of…
We introduce invariants for compact $C^1$-orientable surfaces (with boundary) in $\mathbb{R}^3$ up to rigid transformations. Our invariants are certain degree four polynomials in the moments of the delta function of the surface. We give an…
The aim of this paper is to construct "special" isogenies between K3 surfaces, which are not Galois covers between K3 surfaces, but are obtained by composing cyclic Galois covers, induced by quotients by symplectic automorphisms. We…
We perform a detailed analysis of the solvability of linear strain equations on hyperbolic surfaces. We prove that if the surface is a smooth noncharacteristic region, any first order infinitesimal isometry can be matched to an…
We give an elaborated treatment of discrete isothermic surfaces and their analogs in different geometries (projective, M\"obius, Laguerre, Lie). We find the core of the theory to be a novel projective characterization of discrete isothermic…
Those maps of a closed surface to the three-dimensional torus that are homotopic to embeddings are characterized. Particular attention is paid to the somewhat intricate case when the surface is nonorientable.
We study an analogue of the classical Bianchi-Darboux transformation for L-isothermic surfaces in Laguerre geometry, the Bianchi-Darboux transformation. We show how to construct the Bianchi-Darboux transforms of an L-isothermic surface by…
In Sol$_3$ space there are three uniparametric groups of isometries. In this work we study constant mean curvature surfaces invariant by one of these groups. We analyze the geometric properties of these surfaces by means of their computer…
This survey paper concerns elliptic surfaces with section. We give a detailed overview of the theory including many examples. Emphasis is placed on rational elliptic surfaces and elliptic K3 surfaces. To this end, we particularly review the…
We give an account of the classical and integrable geometry of isothermic surfaces in arbitrary co-dimension. We show that the classical transformation theory of Darboux, Bianchi and Calapso goes through unchanged in arbitrary co-dimension…
Isothermic surfaces in $S^n$ are characterised by the existence of a pencil $\nabla^t$ of flat connections. Such a surface is special of type $d$ if there is a family $p(t)$ of $\nabla^t$-parallel sections whose dependence on the spectral…
Integrable systems with a linear periodic integral for the Lie algebra $\mathrm{e}(3)$ are considered. One investigates singulariries of the Liouville foliation, bifurcation diagram of the momentum mapping, transformations of Liouville…
We study the problem posed by F. Burstall of developing a theory of isothermic Euclidean submanifolds of dimension greater than or equal to three. As a natural extension of the definition in the surface case, we call a Euclidean submanifold…
Global deformations of surfaces, immersed into the Euclidean 3-space, by using the modified Novikov--Veselov equation are investigated. relation to the theory of the Willmore functional is discussed
We show several examples of integrable systems related to special K3 and rational surfaces (e.g., an elliptic K3 surface, a K3 surface given by a double covering of the projective plane, a rational elliptic surface, etc.). The construction,…
