Researchers provide explicit parametrizations for Sasakian space forms.

We prove that a totally umbilical biharmonic surface in any $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold has constant mean curvature. We use this to show that a totally umbilical surface in Thurston's 3-dimensional geometries is proper biharmonic if and only if it is a part of $S^2(1/\sqrt{2})$ in $S^3$. We also give complete c…

We show that 3-dimensional polyhedral manifolds with nonnegative curvature in the sense of Alexandrov can be approximated by nonnegatively curved 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds.

It is well-known that for a surface in a 3-dimensional real space form the constancy of the mean curvature is equivalent to the harmonicity of the Gauss map. However, this is not true in general for surfaces in an arbitrary 3-dimensional ambient space. In this paper we study this problem for surfaces in an important an…

In this paper an alternative theory about space-time is given. First some preliminaries about 3-dimensional time and the reasons for its introduction are presented. Alongside the 3-dimensional space (S) the 3-dimensional space of spatial rotations (SR) is considered independently from the 3-dimensional space. Then it i…

In this article we characterize all biharmonic curves of the Cartan-Vranceanu 3-dimensional spaces and we give their explicit parametrizations.

For any two disjoint oriented circles embedded into the 3-dimensional real projective space, we construct a 3-dimensional configuration space and its map to the projective space such that the linking number of the circles is the half of the degree of the map. Similar interpretations are given for the linking number of …

We prove that a quasiconformal map of the 2-sphere admits a harmonic quasi-isometric extension to the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space, thus confirming the well known Schoen Conjecture in dimension 3.

New method classifies HCMU surfaces in 3D space forms as Weingarten surfaces.

In this paper we consider the conformal type (parabolicity or non-parabolicity) of complete ends of revolution immersed in simply connected space forms of constant sectional curvature. We show that any complete end of revolution in the $3$-dimensional Euclidean space or in the $3$-dimensional sphere is parabolic. In th…

Classifies 3D spaces using specific invariants.

In this paper we study the (equivariant) topological types of a class of 3-dimensional closed manifolds (i.e., 3-dimensional small covers), each of which admits a locally standard $(\mathbb{Z}_2)^3$-action such that its orbit space is a simple convex 3-polytope. We introduce six equivariant operations on 3-dimensional …

Study of 3D vacuum static spaces with specific curvature properties.

A hypersurface is said to be totally biharmonic if all its geodesics are biharmonic curves in the ambient space. We prove that a totally biharmonic hypersurface into a space form is an isoparametric biharmonic hypersurface, which allows us to give the full classification of totally biharmonic hypersurfaces in these spa…

An important theorem about biharmonic submanifolds proved independently by Chen-Ishikawa [CI] and Jiang [Ji] states that an isometric immersion of a surface into 3-dimensional Euclidean space is biharmonic if and only if it is harmonic (i.e, minimal). In a later paper [CMO2], Cadeo-Monttaldo-Oniciuc shown that the theo…

The study explores special surfaces in a normed space.

The study characterizes 3D manifolds using specific Morse-Bott functions.

For entire spacelike stationary 2-dimensional graphs in Minkowski spaces, we establish Bernstein type theorems under specific boundedness assumptions either on the W-function or on the total (Gaussian) curvature. These conclusions imply the classical Bernstein theorem for minimal surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean spa…

In this paper, we study factorable surfaces in a 3-dimensional isotropic space. We classify such surfaces with constant isotropic Gaussian (K) and mean curvature (H). We provide a non-existence result related with the surfaces satisfying H/K=const. Several examples are also illustrated.

We generalize a theorem by J. Choe on capillary surfaces for arbitrary 3-dimensional spaces of constant curvature. The main tools in this paper are an extension of a theorem of H. Hopf due to S.-S. Chern and two index lemmas by J. Choe.

We show that the classical example $X$ of a 3-dimensional generalized manifold constructed by van Kampen is another example of not homologically locally connected (i.e. not HLC) space. This space $X$ is not locally homeomorphic to any of the compact metrizable 3-dimensional manifolds constructed in our earlier paper wh…

The study investigates deformations of swallowtails in 3D space, preserving curvature signs.

Study of higher spin Killing spinors on 3D manifolds, proving rigidity and providing explicit expressions.

In this paper, by the studying of the Gauss map, Laplacian operator, curvatures of surfaces in $\mathbb{R}_{1}^{3}$ and Bour's theorem, we are going to identify surfaces of revolution with pointwise 1-type Gauss map property in $3-$dimensional Minkowski space.

Paper shows non-CSC HCMU metrics can't be isometrically immersed into 3D space forms.

A 3-dimensional homotopy quantum field theory (HQFT) can be described as a TQFT for surfaces and 3-cobordisms endowed with homotopy classes of maps into a given space. For a group $π$, we introduce a notion of a modular crossed $π$-category and show that such a category gives rise to a 3-dimensional HQFT with target sp…

For all $k\in]0,1[$, we construct a canonical bijection between the space of ramified coverings of the sphere and the space of complete immersed surfaces in $3$-dimensional hyperbolic space of finite area and of constant extrinsic curvature equal to $k$. We show, furthermore, that this bijection restricts to a homeomor…

A smooth map between smooth manifolds is called a special generic map if it has only definite fold points as its singularities. In this paper, we give conditions for a special generic map into the 3-dimensional Euclidean space to be factored as the composition of an embedding and a projection for certain dimensions.

Biconservative surfaces are surfaces with divergence-free stress-bienergy tensor. Simply connected, complete, non-$CMC$ biconservative surfaces in $3$-dimensional space forms were constructed working in extrinsic and intrinsic ways. Then, one raises the question of the uniqueness of such surfaces. In this paper we give…

The paper studies stable surfaces with constant curvature in 3D space forms.

Given a discrete group G and a spherical G-fusion category whose neutral component has invertible dimension, we use the state-sum method to construct a 3-dimensional Homotopy Quantum Field Theory (HQFT) with target the Eilenberg-MacLane space K(G,1).

New findings on plane waves in 3D spacetimes, showing non-unimodular elliptic plane waves are unique.

We characterize biharmonic anti-invariant surfaces in $3$-dimensional generalized $(κ, μ)$-manifolds with non-zero constant mean curvature by means of the scalar curvature of the ambient space and the mean curvature. In addition, we give a method for constructing infinity many examples of biharmonic submanifolds in a c…

In this paper we give a spinorial representation of submanifolds of any dimension and codimension into Lie groups equipped with left invariant metrics. As applications, we get a spinorial proof of the Fundamental Theorem for submanifolds into Lie groups, we recover previously known representations of submanifolds in $\…

We study the existence of surfaces with constant or prescribed Gauss curvature in certain Lorentzian spacetimes. We prove in particular that every (non-elementary) 3-dimensional maximal globally hyperbolic spatially compact spacetime with constant non-negative curvature is foliated by compact spacelike surfaces with co…

We present a theorem on the unitarizability of loop group valued monodromy representations and apply this to show the existence of new families of constant mean curvature surfaces homeomorphic to a thrice-punctured sphere in the simply-connected 3-dimensional space forms $\R^3$, $\bbS^3 $ and $\bbH^3$. Additionally, we…

Study classifies triharmonic surfaces in 3D homogeneous spaces.

In this short note we prove that the degree of the Gauss map ν of a closed 3-dimensional hypersurface of the Euclidean space is a lower bound for the total bending functional B, introduced by G. Wiegmink. Consequently, the energy functional E introduced by C. M. Wood admits a topological lower bound.

In this paper we study para-Kenmotsu manifolds. We characterize this manifolds by tensor equations and study their properties. We are devoted to a study of $η-$Einstein manifolds. We show that a conformally flat para-Kenmotsu manifold is a space of constant negative curvature $-1$ and we prove that if a para-Kenmotsu m…

3D Schoenflies theorem for simply-connected 2-complexes.

We give a spinorial characterization of isometrically immersed surfaces of arbitrary signature into 3-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian space forms. For Lorentzian surfaces, this generalizes a recent work of the first author in $\mathbb{R}^{2,1}$ to other Lorentzian space forms. We also characterize immersions of Riemannia…

We consider surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature immersed in 3-dimensional manifolds, and we strengthen the compactness result of Labourie in the case where the ambient manifold is 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. This allows us to prove results of existence of solutions to the asymptotic Plateau problem, as defined …
