We construct free boundary minimal disc stackings, with any number of strata, in the three-dimensional Euclidean unit ball, and prove uniform, linear lower and upper bounds on the Morse index of all such surfaces. Among other things, our…

In this sequence, we first prove an abstract Morse index theorem in a Hilbert space modeling a variational problem with constraints. Then, our abstract formulation is applied to study several optimization setups including closed CMC…

We develop a bubble-compactness theory for embedded CMC hypersurfaces with bounded index and area inside closed Riemannian manifolds in low dimensions. In particular we show that convergence always occurs with multiplicity one, which…

We show that the Morse index of a closed minimal hypersurface in a four-dimensional Riemannian manifold cannot be bound in terms of the volume and the topological invariants of the hypersurface itself by presenting a method for constructing…

This is the second paper in our sequence. Here, we apply our abstract Morse index formulation developed in the previous paper to study several optimization set-ups with constraints, including type I or/and type II considerations. A common…

For an immersed minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we show that there exists a lower bound on its Morse index that depends on the genus and number of ends, counting multiplicity. This improves, in several ways, an estimate we previously…

Given a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove that the limit of a sequence of embedded, almost properly embedded free boundary minimal hypersurfaces, with uniform area and Morse index upper bound, always inherits a non-trivial…

Let M be a closed connected manifold. Let m(M) be the Morse number of M, that is, the minimal number of critical points of a Morse function on M. Let N be a finite cover of M of degree d. M.Gromov posed the following question: what are the…

Let $\Sigma_a\subset B^3(r(a))\subset\mathbb{H}^3$ ($a>1/2$) be the critical hyperbolic catenoid of the Mori family, a free boundary minimal surface in the geodesic ball. The Medvedev conjecture [9] states ind$(\Sigma_a)=4$ for all $a>1/2$.…

We adapt and extend the Montiel-Ros methodology to compact manifolds with boundary, allowing for mixed (including oblique) boundary conditions and also accounting for the action of a finite group $G$ together with an additional twisting…

It has been conjectured that sparse paving matroids will eventually predominate in any asymptotic enumeration of matroids, i.e. that $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} s_n/m_n = 1$, where $m_n$ denotes the number of matroids on $n$ elements, and…

The homogeneous minimal hypersurfaces in $S^n$ have $g = 1,2,3,4$, or $6$ distinct (constant) principal curvatures. While the Morse index and nullity have been calculated for all such hypersurfaces having $g = 1,2,3$, it has remained an…

For each parameter $a>1/2$, the critical hyperbolic catenoid $\Sigma_a$ is a rotationally symmetric, free boundary minimal annulus in a geodesic ball $B^3(r(a))\subset\mathbb{H}^3$, in the family of Mori, do Carmo--Dajczer, and Medvedev. We…

We study the asymptotic distribution of critical values of random holomorphic `polynomials' s_n on a Kaehler manifold M as the degree n tends to infinity. By `polynomial' of degree n we mean a holomorphic section of the nth power of a…

We study global solutions to the classical one-phase free boundary problem that have finite Morse index relative to the Alt-Caffarelli functional. We show that such solutions are stable outside a compact set and characterize the index as…

In this mainly expository paper we present a detailed proof of several results contained in a paper by M. Bertelson and M. Gromov on Dynamical Morse Entropy. This is an introduction to the ideas presented in that work. Suppose $M$ is…

In this paper, we prove that a closed minimal hypersurface in $\SSS$ with $\lambda_1<n$ has Morse index at least $n+4$, providing a partial answer to a conjecture of Perdomo. As a corollary, we re-obtain a partial proof of the famous Urbano…

We compute the fixed point index of non-degenerate central configurations for the $n$-body problem in the euclidean space of dimension $d$, relating it to the Morse index of the gravitational potential function $\bar U$ induced on the…

In this paper, we compute the Morse index of rotationally symmetric minimal Y-singular surfaces under assumption that the Y-singularities form a single circle. This computation is carried out by utilizing information from two simpler…

Let $M_n$ be the minimal position at generation $n$, of a real-valued branching random walk in the boundary case. As $n \to \infty$, $M_n- {3 \over 2} \log n$ is tight (see [1][9][2]). We establish here a law of iterated logarithm for the…
