We show two sphere theorems for the Riemannian manifolds with scalar curvature bounded below and the non-collapsed $\mathrm{RCD}(n-1,n)$ spaces with mean distance close to $\frac{\pi}{2}$.

In this paper, we describe a family of embedded hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature (CMC) in the $(n+1)$-dimensional unit sphere. In the process, we provide evidence for new CMC embedded examples. In particular, for some examples…

For each integer m>1 and l>0 we construct a pair of compact embedded minimal surfaces of genus 1+4m(m-1)l. These surfaces desingularize the m Clifford tori meeting each other along a great circle at the angle of \pi/m. They are invariant…

Bryant \cite{Bryant84} classified all Willmore spheres in $3$-space to be given by minimal surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$ with embedded planar ends. This note provides new explicit formulas for genus 0 minimal surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$ with…

We give necessary conditions on complete embedded \cmc surfaces with three or four ends subject to reflection symmetries. The respective submoduli spaces are two-dimensional varieties in the moduli spaces of general \cmc surfaces. We…

In a matter-filled spacetime, perhaps with positive cosmological constant, a stable marginally outer trapped 2-sphere must satisfy a certain area inequality. Namely, as discussed in the paper, its area must be bounded above by $4\pi/c$,…

We introduce an arbitrary order, computationally efficient method to smooth corners on curves in the plane, as well as edges and vertices on surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$. The method is local, only modifying the original surface in a…

We prove a surface embedding theorem for 4-manifolds with good fundamental group in the presence of dual spheres, with no restriction on the normal bundles. The new obstruction is a Kervaire-Milnor invariant for surfaces and we give a…

We give an explicit estimate of the area of a closed surface by the diameter and a lower bound of curvature. This is better than Calabi-Cao's estimate for a nonnegatively curved two-sphere.

We show that if a closed surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ has entropy near to that of the unit two-sphere, then the surface is close to a round two-sphere in the Hausdorff distance.

This paper proves that classical minimal surfaces of arbitrary topological type with total boundary curvature at most 4\pi must be smoothly embedded. Related results are proved for varifolds and for soap film surfaces.

In this paper we consider a partial overdetermined mixed boundary value problem in domains inside a cone as in [18]. We show that in cones having an isoperimetric property the only domains which admit a solution and which minimize a…

Surface area and mean width of a cylinder (the convex hull of two parallel disks) in R^3 are computed. It is more difficult to obtain analogous results for a cone (the convex hull of a disk D and a point p). Oblique formulas for mean width,…

In this paper we show that the number of distinct distances determined by a set of $n$ points on a constant-degree two-dimensional algebraic variety $V$ (i.e., a surface) in $\mathbb R^3$ is at least $\Omega\left(n^{7/9}/{\rm polylog}…

Assume $h$ is a positive function on the unit three-sphere which satisfies the pinching condition $h < h_0 \approx 0.547$. We prove the existence of at least two embedded two-spheres with prescribed mean curvature $h$. The same result holds…

The bending energy of any freely deformable closed surface is quadratic in its curvature. In the absence of constraints, it will be minimized when the surface adopts the form of a round sphere. If the surface is confined within a…

We prove that in Euclidean space $R^{n+1}$ any compact immersed nonnegatively curved hypersurface $M$ with free boundary on the sphere $S^n$ is an embedded convex topological disk. In particular, when the $m^{th}$ mean curvature of $M$ is…

We establish a general min-max type theorem that produces minimal surfaces with prescribed genus in 3-manifolds with positive Ricci curvature. An important intermediate step is to show that, in a generic metric with positive Ricci…

Constrained Willmore surfaces are critical points of the Willmore functional under conformal variations. As shown in [5] one can associate to any conformally immersed constrained Willmore torus f a compact Riemann surface \Sigma, such that…

We prove an enumerative min-max theorem that relates the number of genus g minimal surfaces in 3-manifolds of positive Ricci curvature to topological properties of the set of embedded surfaces of genus $\leq g$, possibly with finitely many…
