In this paper, we first prove a compactness theorem for the space of closed embedded $f$-minimal surfaces of fixed topology in a closed three-manifold with positive Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci curvature. Then we give a Lichnerowicz type lower…

Let \phi\ be a Dirichlet or Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We prove lower bounds for the size of the nodal set {\phi=0}.

We study biminimal immersions, that is immersions which are critical points of the bienergy for normal variations with fixed energy. We give a geometrical description of the Euler-Lagrange equation associated to biminimal immersions for: i)…

We consider compact K\"ahlerian manifolds $X$ of even dimension 4 or more, endowed with a log-symplectic structure $\Phi$, a generically nondegenerate closed 2-form with simple poles on a divisor $D$ with local normal crossings. A simple…

For a given family of smooth closed curves $\gamma^1,...,\gamma^\alpha\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ we consider the problem of finding an elastic \emph{connected} compact surface $M$ with boundary $\gamma=\gamma^1\cup...\cup\gamma^\alpha$. This is…

We study a generalization of the manifold-valued Rudin-Osher-Fatemi (ROF) model, which involves an initial datum $f$ mapping from a curved compact surface with smooth boundary to a complete, connected and smooth $n$-dimensional Riemannian…

Let M be a smooth manifold and $\Phi$ a differential 1-form on M with values in the tangent bundle TM. We construct canonical solutions $e_\Phi$ of Maurer-Cartan equation in the DGLA of graded derivations D*(M) of differential forms on M by…

In this paper we study nonnegative minimizers of general degenerate elliptic functionals, $\int F(X,u,Du) dX \to \min$, for variational kernels $F$ that are discontinuous in $u$ with discontinuity of order $\sim \chi_{\{u > 0 \}}$. The…

We prove that if $f_g: (\Sigma,g) \rightarrow (\mb{S}^{2+p},\tg)$ is a smooth minimal isometric embedding of a Riemannian surface $(\Sigma,g)$, and $[0,1]\ni t \rightarrow g_t$ is a path of area preserving conformal deformations of $g$ on…

The main point of this paper is that, under suitable conditions on the mean curvature and the Ricci curvature of the ambient space, we can extend Choi-Schoen's Compactness Theorem to compact embedded minimal surfaces to simple immersed…

Let $(M^n,g)$, $n \ge 4$, be a compact simply-connected Riemannian manifold with nonnegative isotropic curvature. Given $0<l\le L$, we prove that there exists $\eps = \eps (l,L,n)$ satisfying the following: If the scalar curvature $s$ of…

Minimal surfaces are ubiquitous in nature. Here they are considered as geometric objects that bear a deformation content. By refining the resolution of the surface deformation gradient afforded by the polar decomposition theorem, we…

In these notes we study the Dirichlet problem for critical points of a convex functional of the form \[ F(u)=\int_{\Omega}\phi\left( \left\vert \nabla u\right\vert \right) , \] where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of a complete Riemannian…

In this thesis we study the geometry of the fixed point set $\Sigma$ of a smooth mapping $\Phi: M\to M$ on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary by computing the asymptotic expansion of the deformed heat trace $\Trace…

We consider in this paper an area functional defined on submanifolds of fixed degree immersed into a graded manifold equipped with a Riemannian metric. Since the expression of this area depends on the degree, not all variations are…

We propose a model for nonlinearly elastic membranes undergoing finite deformations while confined to a regular frictionless surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. This is a physically correct model of the analogy sometimes given to motivate harmonic…

We consider the Euler characteristics $\chi(M)$ of closed orientable topological $2n$-manifolds with $(n-1)$-connected universal cover and a given fundamental group $G$ of type $F_n$. We define $q_{2n}(G)$, a generalized version of the…

Let $M$ be a smooth connected compact surface and $P$ be either a real line or a circle. This paper proceeds the study of the stabilizers and orbits of smooth functions on $M$ with respect to the right action of the group of diffeomorphisms…

Given a compact Riemannian manifold together with a group of isometries, we discuss MCF of the orbits and some applications: eg, finding minimal orbits. We then specialize to Lagrangian orbits in Kaehler manifolds. In particular, in the…

We show that a compact manifold admitting a Killing foliation with positive transverse curvature fibers over finite quotients of spheres or weighted complex projective spaces, provided that the singular foliation defined by the closures of…
