Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold. Choose a pair $(\alpha,H)$ where $\alpha$ is a calibration and $H$ is a calibrated distribution. Using this data we define a 1-parameter family of forms $\alpha_\varepsilon$ and study its adiabatic…

The paper studies how to extend local calibration pairs to global ones in various situations. As a result, new discoveries involving mass-minimizing properties are exhibited. In particular, we show that a $\mathbb R$-homologically…

In this paper, we investigate minimal submanifolds in Euclidean space with positive index of relative nullity. Let $M^m$ be a complete Riemannian manifold and let $f\colon M^m\to\R^n$ be a minimal isometric immersion with index of relative…

We construct, for $m\geq 6$ and $2n\leq m$, closed manifolds $M^{m}$ with finite nonzero $\varphi(M^{m},S^{n}$), where $\varphi(M,N)$ denotes the minimum number of critical points of a smooth map $M\to N$. We also give some explicit…

We consider a non-negative biminimal properly immersed submanifold $M$ (that is, a biminimal properly immersed submanifold with $\lambda\geq0$) in a complete Riemannian manifold $N$ with non-positive sectional curvature. Assume that the…

In 1974, Federer proved that all area-minimizing hypersurfaces on orientable manifolds were calibrated by weakly closed differential forms. However, in this manuscript, we prove the contrary in higher codimensions: calibrated…

Given $(\bar{M},\Omega)$ a calibrated Riemannian manifold with a parallel calibration of rank $m$, and $M^m$ an immersed orientable submanifold with parallel mean curvature $H$ we prove that if $\cos \theta$ is bounded away from zero, where…

Every closed, oriented, real analytic Riemannian 3-manifold can be isometrically embedded as a special Lagrangian submanifold of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold, even as the real locus of an antiholomorphic, isometric involution. Every closed,…

We consider two special classes of $k$-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds which are related to calibrated geometry, satisfying a first order fully nonlinear PDE. The first is a special type of weakly conformal map $u \colon (L^k, g)…

We show that submanifolds of Euclidean space which are calibrated by a constant-coefficient differential form and have flat normal bundles are planes. In fact, in a Riemannian manifold equipped with a parallel calibration, a calibrated…

We consider $F: M \to N$ a minimal oriented compact real 2n-submanifold M, immersed into a Kaehler-Einstein manifold N of complex dimension 2n, and scalar curvature R. We assume that $n \geq 2$ and F has equal Kaehler angles. Our main…

We consider a complete nonnegative biminimal submanifold M (that is, a complete biminimal submanifold with lambda>=0) in a Euclidean space E^N. Assume that the immersion is proper, that is, the preimage of every compact set in E^N is also…

Given a calibration $\alpha$ whose stabilizer acts transitively on the Grassmanian of calibrated planes, we introduce a nontrivial Lie-theoretic condition on $\alpha$, which we call compliancy, and show that this condition holds for many…

A conformal transformation of a semi-Riemannian manifold is essential if there is no conformally equivalent metric for which it is an isometry. For Riemannian manifolds the existence of an essential conformal transformation forces the…

Let $M$ be a fixed compact oriented embedded submanifold of a manifold $\overline{M}$. Consider the volume $\mathcal{V} (\overline{g}) = \int_M \mathsf{vol}_{(M, g)}$ as a functional of the ambient metric $\overline{g}$ on $\overline{M}$,…

For nonnegative even kernels $K$, we consider the $K$-nonlocal perimeter functional acting on sets. Assuming the existence of a foliation of space made of solutions of the associated $K$-nonlocal mean curvature equation in an open set…

In this paper, we investigate the prescribed scalar curvature problem on a non-compact Riemannian manifold $(M, \langle \, , \, \rangle)$, namely the existence of a conformal deformation of the metric $\langle \, , \, \rangle$ realizing a…

Consider the complex linear space C^n endowed with the canonical pseudo-Hermitian form of signature (2p,2(n-p)). This yields both a pseudo-Riemannian and a symplectic structure on C^n. We prove that those submanifolds which are both…

Let $M$ be a connected, non-compact $m$-dimensional Riemannian manifold. In this paper we consider smooth maps $\phi: M \to \mathbb{R}^n$ with images inside a non-degenerate cone. Under quite general assumptions on $M$, we provide a lower…

A submanifold of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is said to have parallel mean curvature vector if the mean curvature vector field H is parallel as a section of the normal bundle. Submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector are important…
