This is the first of two articles in which we investigate the geometry of free boundary and capillary minimal surfaces in balls $B_R\subset\mathbb{S}^3$. In this article, we extend our previous half-space intersection properties to warped…

In this paper, we establish monotonicity formulas for capillary surfaces in the half-space $\mathbb{R}^3_+$ and in the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^3$ and extend the result of Volkmann (Comm. Anal. Geom.24(2016), no.1, 195~221.…

We prove that the index of a CMC surface with capillary boundary is bounded from above linearly by its genus, number of boundary components, and branching order, and also by some Willmore-type energy involving the area, mean curvature,…

We prove a monotonicity identity for compact surfaces with free boundaries inside the boundary of unit ball in $\mathbb R^n$ that have square integrable mean curvature. As one consequence we obtain a Li-Yau type inequality in this setting,…

We demonstrate the continuous translational invariance of the energy of a capillary surface in contact with reconfigurable solid boundaries. We present a theoretical approach to find the energy-invariant equilibria of spherical capillary…

Previous work of the authors established the rigorous limiting behavior of minimizing capillary surfaces to minimizers of the Alt--Caffarelli functional as the capillary angle tends to zero. We prove here that in this limit, the capillary…

We study critical surfaces for a surface energy which contains the squared $L^2$ norm of the difference of the mean curvature $H$ and the spontaneous curvature $c_o$, coupled to the elastic energy of the boundary curve. We investigate the…

For every $p,q\geq 1$, we construct minimal embeddings of $\mathbb{S}^p \times \mathbb{S}^q \times \mathbb{S}^1$ in $\mathbb{S}^{p + q + 2}$ by doubling the links of free-boundary minimal cones in $\mathbb{R}^{p+q+3}$ with bi-orthogonal…

The influence of finite system size on the free energy of a spherical particle floating at the surface of a sessile droplet is studied both analytically and numerically. In the special case that the contact angle at the substrate equals…

We obtain a bound for the area of a capillary $H-$surface in a three-manifold with umbilic boundary and controlled sectional curvature. We then analyze the geometry when this area bound is realized, and obtain rigidity theorems. As a side…

From minimal surfaces such as Simons' cone and catenoids, using refined Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method, we construct new solutions for a free boundary problem whose free boundary has two components. In dimension $8$, using variational…

We prove a local rigidity result for infinitesimally rigid capillary surfaces in some Riemannian $3$-manifolds with mean convex boundary. We also derive bounds on the genus, number of boundary components and area of any compact two-sided…

We employ min-max techniques to show that the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^3$ contains embedded free boundary minimal surfaces with connected boundary and arbitrary genus.

A model describing cell membranes as optimal shapes with regard to the $L^2$-deficit of their mean curvature to a given constant called spontaneous curvature is considered. It is shown that the corresponding energy functional is lower…

We construct non-flat minimal capillary cones with bi-orthogonal symmetry groups for any dimension and contact angle. These cones interpolate between rescalings of a singular solution to the one-phase problem and the free-boundary cone…

In this paper we prove that a capillary minimal surface outside the unit ball in $\mathbb {R}^3$ with one embedded end and finite total curvature must be either part of the plane or part of the catenoid. We also prove that a capillary…

In this paper, we study a mean curvature type flow with capillary boundary in the unit ball. Our flow preserves the volume of the bounded domain enclosed by the hypersurface, and monotonically decreases an energy functional $E$. We show…

We study free-discontinuity functionals in nonlinear elasticity, where discontinuities correspond to the phenomenon of cavitation. The energy comprises two terms: a volume term accounting for the elastic energy; and a surface term…

We investigate anisotropic capillary hypersurfaces within a wedge in Euclidean space. In this study, we generalize the Minkowski norm \(F\), traditionally employed to define the anisotropic surface energy, to a gauge on the unit sphere…

This paper considers the Alt-Caffarelli free boundary problem in a periodic medium. This is a convenient model for several interesting phenomena appearing in the study of contact lines on rough surfaces, pinning, hysteresis and the…
