We study hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{R}^N$ with constant nonlocal (or fractional) mean curvature. This is the equation associated to critical points of the fractional perimeter functional under a volume constraint. We establish the existence of a smooth branch of periodic cylinders in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$, all of th…

We prove the existence of a countable family of Delaunay type domains Ω_j in M^n x R, where M^n is the Riemannian manifold S^n or H^n and n is at least 2, bifurcating from the cylinder B^n x R (where B^n is a geodesic ball of radius 1 in M^n) for which the first eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with zero …

New CMC surfaces with dihedral symmetry constructed from Darboux transforms.

No compact surfaces with specific curvature can exist near singular limits.

We are concerned with hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{R}^N$ with constant nonlocal (or fractional) mean curvature. This is the equation associated to critical points of the fractional perimeter under a volume constraint. Our results are twofold. First we prove the nonlocal analogue of the Alexandrov result characterizing sph…

We construct minimal surfaces in hyperbolic and anti-de Sitter 3-space with the topology of a $n$-punctured sphere by loop group factorization methods. The end behavior of the surfaces is based on the asymptotics of Delaunay-type surfaces, i.e., rotational symmetric minimal cylinders. The minimal surfaces in $\mathrm{H…

We construct higher genus Riemann's minimal surfaces properly embedded in the Euclidean space. To do that we glue end by end a Costa-Hoffman-Meeks examples to two halves genus zero Riemann's minimal surfaces. In first we need to perform a deformation of a Costa-Hoffman-Meeks example to prescribe the flux vector along t…

The study finds new constant mean curvature surfaces in curved spaces.

Given a vector field $X$ in a Riemannian manifold, a hypersurface is said to have a canonical principal direction relative to $X$ if the projection of $X$ onto the tangent space of the hypersurface gives a principal direction. We give different ways for building these hypersurfaces, as well as a number of useful charac…

Convex iso-Delaunay regions found in flat surface strata.

New types of Delaunay hypersurfaces found in spheres.

We investigate the properties of the Cheeger sets of rotationally invariant, bounded domains $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$. For a rotationally invariant Cheeger set $C$, the free boundary $\partial C \cap Ω$ consists of pieces of Delaunay surfaces, which are rotationally invariant surfaces of constant mean curvature. We show…

Delaunay has shown that the Delaunay complex of a finite set of points $P$ of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^m$ triangulates the convex hull of $P$, provided that $P$ satisfies a mild genericity property. Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay complexes can be defined for arbitrary Riemannian manifolds. However, Delaunay's generic…

In this paper we present a new family of non-compact properly embedded, self-shrinking, asymptotically conical, positive mean curvature ends $Σ^n\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ that are hypersurfaces of revolution with circular boundaries. These hypersurface families interpolate between the plane and half-cylinder in $\math…

Given a lattice L of R^n, a polytope D is called a Delaunay polytope in L if the set of its vertices is S\cap L where S is a sphere having no lattice points in its interior. D is called perfect if the only ellipsoid in R^n that contains S\cap L is exactly S. For a vector v of the Leech lattice Λ_{24} we define Λ_{24}(v…

We consider constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ arising via the DPW method from a holomorphic perturbation of the standard Delaunay potential on the punctured disk. Kilian, Rossman and Schmitt have proven that such a surface is asymptotic to a Delaunay surface. We consider families of such potentials p…

Improved rigidity of Delaunay triangulated plane.

The study identifies unique Delaunay surfaces with constant mean curvature.

The generalized Weierstrass representation is used to analyze the asymptotic behavior of a constant mean curvature surface that arises locally from an ordinary differential equation with a regular singularity. We prove that a holomorphic perturbation of an ODE that represents a Delaunay surface generates a constant mea…

Classical Delaunay surfaces are highly symmetric constant mean curvature (CMC) submanifolds of space forms. We prove the existence of Delaunay-type hypersurfaces in a large class of compact manifolds, using the geometry of cohomogeneity one group actions and variational bifurcation techniques. Our construction speciali…

Given a finite set of points in $\mathbb R^n$ and a radius parameter, we study the Čech, Delaunay-Čech, Delaunay (or Alpha), and Wrap complexes in the light of generalized discrete Morse theory. Establishing the Čech and Delaunay complexes as sublevel sets of generalized discrete Morse functions, we prove that the four…

In the following article we discuss Delaunay triangulations for a point cloud on an embedded surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We give sufficient conditions on the point cloud to show that the diagonal switch algorithm finds an embedded Delaunay triangulation.

We consider circle packings and, more generally, Delaunay circle patterns - arrangements of circles arising from a Delaunay decomposition of a finite set of points - on surfaces equipped with a complex projective structure. Motivated by a conjecture of Kojima, Mizushima and Tan, we prove that the forgetful map sending …

We use a variational principle to prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for planar weighted Delaunay triangulations (with non-intersecting site-circles) with prescribed combinatorial type and circle intersection angles. Such weighted Delaunay triangulations may be interpreted as images of hyperbolic polyhedra with …

We propose a differentiable nonparametric algorithm, the Delaunay triangulation learner (DTL), to solve the functional approximation problem on the basis of a $p$-dimensional feature space. By conducting the Delaunay triangulation algorithm on the data points, the DTL partitions the feature space into a series of $p$-d…

Minimal Delaunay triangulations on hyperbolic surfaces have linear number of vertices.

We start the investigation of immersions $Ψ$ of a simply connected domain $D$ into three dimensional Euclidean space $R^3$, which have constant mean curvature (CMC-immersions), and allow for a group of automorphisms of $D$ which leave the image $Ψ(D)$ invariant. On one hand, this leads to a detailed description of symm…

Plane Delaunay triangulations are rigid under Luo's discrete conformal change.

The paper constructs solutions to a critical Dirac equation on spheres.

A finite subset S of a closed hyperbolic surface F canonically determines a "centered dual decomposition" of F: a cell structure with vertex set S, geodesic edges, and 2-cells that are unions of the corresponding Delaunay polygons. Unlike a Delaunay polygon, a centered dual 2-cell Q is not determined by its collection …

We show that the of 2-lobed Delaunay tori are stable as constrained Willmore surfaces in the 3-sphere.

Given a Delaunay decomposition of a compact hyperbolic surface, one may record the topological data of the decomposition, together with the intersection angles between the `empty disks' circumscribing the regions of the decomposition. The main result of this paper is a characterization of when a given topological decom…

A Delaunay decomposition is a cell decomposition in R^d for which each cell is inscribed in a Euclidean ball which is empty of all other vertices. This article introduces a generalization of the Delaunay decomposition in which the Euclidean balls in the empty ball condition are replaced by other families of regions bou…

We construct constant mean curvature surfaces in euclidean space by gluing n half Delaunay surfaces to a non-degenerate minimal n-noid, using the DPW method.

In his seminal 1951 paper "Extreme forms" Coxeter \cite{cox51} observed that for $n \ge 9$ one can add vectors to the perfect lattice $\sfA_9$ so that the resulting perfect lattice, called $\sfA_9^2$ by Coxeter, has exactly the same set of minimal vectors. An inhomogeneous analog of the notion of perfect lattice is tha…

We use the DPW method to obtain the associate family of Delaunay surfaces and derive a formula for the neck size of the surface in terms of the entries of the holomorphic potential.

We show the rigidity of the hexagonal Delaunay triangulated plane under Luo's PL conformality. As a consequence, we obtain a rigidity theorem for a particular type of locally finite convex ideal hyperbolic polyhedra.

Four constructions of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces in the (n+1)-sphere are given, which should be considered analogues of `classical' constructions that are possible for CMC hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. First, Delaunay-like hypersurfaces, consisting roughly of a chain of hyperspheres winding multipl…
