Let $M$ be an orientable 3-manifold with $\partial M$ a single torus. We show that the number of boundary slopes of immersed essential surfaces with genus at most $g$ is bounded by a quadratic function of $g$. In the hyperbolic case, this…

We establish general bounds on the topology of free boundary minimal surfaces obtained via min-max methods in compact, three-dimensional ambient manifolds with mean convex boundary. We prove that the first Betti number is lower…

We consider surfaces with boundary satisfying a sixth order nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation corresponding to extremising the $L^2$-norm of the gradient of the mean curvature. We show that such surfaces with small $L^2$-norm…

Computational knot theory and 3-manifold topology have seen significant breakthroughs in recent years, despite the fact that many key algorithms have complexity bounds that are exponential or greater. In this setting, experimentation is…

We solve a certain case of the minimal genus problem for embedded surfaces in elliptic 4-manifolds. The proofs involve a restricted transitivity property of the action of the orientation preserving diffeomorphism group on the second…

We consider closed orientable 3-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds which are cyclic branched coverings of the 3-sphere, with branching set being a two-bridge knot (or link). We establish two-sided linear bounds depending on the order of the…

In this article, we prove that the commensurability class of a closed, orientable, hyperbolic 3-manifold is determined by the surface subgroups of its fundamental group. Moreover, we prove that there can be only finitely many closed,…

This paper is the first in a series where we attempt to give a complete description of the space of all embedded minimal surfaces of fixed genus in a fixed (but arbitrary) closed Riemannian 3-manifold. The key for understanding such…

We explain how the current knowledge on the set of complete noncompact constant mean curvature surfaces can be exploited to produce new examples of compact constant mean curvature surfaces of genus greater than or equal to 3.

This survey focuses on the computational complexity of some of the fundamental decision problems in 3-manifold theory. The article discusses the wide variety of tools that are used to tackle these problems, including normal and almost…

We establish a curvature estimate for classical minimal surfaces with total boundary curvature less than 4\pi. The main application is a bound on the genus of these surfaces depending solely on the geometry of the boundary curve. We also…

Motivated by a number of recent investigations, we define and investigate the various properties of the ruled surfaces depend on three dimensional Lie groups with a bi-variant metric. We give useful results involving the characterizations…

A {\em $1-$vertex triangulation} of an oriented compact surface $S$ of genus $g$ is an embedded graph $T\subset S$ with a unique vertex such that all connected components of $S\setminus T$ are triangles (adjacent to exactly 3 edges of $T$).…

We prove existence and nonexistence results for annular type parametric surfaces with prescribed, almost constant mean curvature, characterized as normal graphs of compact portions of unduloids or nodoids in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, and whose…

We construct a complete embedded minimal surface with arbitrary genus in the doubled Schwarzschild 3-manifold. A classical desingularization method is used for the construction.

We generalize the following result of White: Suppose $N$ is a compact, strictly convex domain in $\RR^3$ with smooth boundary. Let $\Sigma$ be a compact 2-manifold with boundary. Then a generic smooth curve $\Gamma\cong \partial\Sigma$ in…

Sharp bounds are given for solutions to the minimal surface equation with vanishing boundary values over domains containing sectors of opening bigger than pi.

Consider a planar, bounded, $m$-connected region $\Omega$, and let $\bord\Omega$ be its boundary. Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a cellular decomposition of $\Omega\cup\bord\Omega$, where each 2-cell is either a triangle or a quadrilateral. From…

It is shown that for given positive integers g and b, there is a number C(g,b), such that any orientable compact irreducible 3-manifold of Heegaard genus g has at most C(g,b) disjoint, nonparallel incompressible surfaces with first Betti…

This paper develops an algorithm that identifies and decomposes a median graph of a triangulation of a 2-dimensional (2D) oriented bordered surface and in addition restores all corresponding triangulation whenever they exist. The algorithm…
