New Heintze-Karcher inequality helps understand droplet shapes.
Soap films collapse only if their bulk has negative pressure, forming convex shapes.
New minimal surfaces in spheres with complex topologies from capillarity.
Capillarity functionals are parameter invariant functionals defined on classes of two-dimensionals parametric surfaces in R3 as the sum of the area integral with an anisotropic term of suitable form. In the class of parametric surfaces with the topological type of S2 and with fixed volume, extremals of capillarity func…
New proofs and inequalities for capillarity problems quantify asymmetries.
Study approximates Plateau's laws using the Allen-Cahn equation.
Capillarity functionals are parameter invariant functionals defined on classes of two-dimensional parametric surfaces in R3 as the sum of the area integral and a non homogeneous term of suitable form. Here we consider the case of a class of non homogenous terms vanishing at infinity for which the corresponding capillar…
Study on capillarity minimizers with nonlocal repulsion and gravity, proving existence and nonexistence.
We study the capillarity equation from the global point of view of behavior of its solutions without explicit regard to boundary conditions. We show its solutions to be constrained in ways, that have till now not been characterized in literature known to us.

We define a new one form H^A based on the second fundamental tensor H^abA, the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern form can be novelly expressed with this one-form. Using the phi-mapping theory we find that the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern density can be expressed in terms of the delta-function and the relationship between the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern…
The distance of an almost constant mean curvature boundary from a finite family of disjoint tangent balls with equal radii is quantitatively controlled in terms of the oscillation of the scalar mean curvature. This result allows one to quantitatively describe the geometry of volume-constrained stationary sets in capill…
As an interesting application of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory and our work on the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern mass (Ge, Wang, Wu), we obtain a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat graphs in under a condition that is non-negative, where is the scalar curvature, a constant and t…
Virtual knot theory is a generalization (discovered by the author in 1996) of knot theory to the study of all oriented Gauss codes. (Classical knot theory is a study of planar Gauss codes.) Graph theory studies non-planar graphs via graphical diagrams with virtual crossings. Virtual knot theory studies non-planar Gauss…
The Gauss Image Measure uniquely identifies dual convex bodies up to dilation.
Unified approach to totally ramified values in various surface theories.
From the point of view of index theory, we give a simple proof of a Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for all Finsler manifolds by the Cartan connection. Based on this, we establish a Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for any metric-compatible connection and also derive the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula of Lackey.
We prove the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet Theorem using sigma models whose source supermanifolds have super dimension 0|2. Along the way we develop machinery for understanding manifold invariants encoded by families of 0|n-dimensional Euclidean field theories and their quantization.
Given a group endowed with a Z/2-valued morphism we associate a Gauss diagram theory, and show that for a particular choice of the group these diagrams encode faithfully virtual knots on a given arbitrary surface. This theory contains all of the earlier attempts to decorate Gauss diagrams, in a way that is made precise…
In this paper we use theory of embedded graphs on oriented and compact -surfaces to construct minimal realizations of signed Gauss paragraphs. We prove that the genus of the ambient surface of these minimal realizations can be seen as a function of the maximum number of Carter's circles. For the case of signed Gaus…
We construct a weakly complete flat surface in hyperbolic 3-space having a pair of hyperbolic Gauss maps both of whose images are contained in an arbitrarily given open disc in the ideal boundary of H^3. This construction is accomplished as an application of the minimal surface theory. This looks an interesting phenome…
A Gauss paragraph is a combinatorial formulation of a generic closed curve with multiple components on some surface. A virtual string is a collection of circles with arrows that represent the crossings of such a curve. Every closed curve has an underlying virtual string and every virtual string has an underlying Gauss …
We lay the foundations for a theory of divergence-measure fields in noncommutative stratified nilpotent Lie groups. Such vector fields form a new family of function spaces, which generalize in a sense the fields. They provide the most general setting to establish Gauss-Green formulas for vector fields of low regul…
The paper proves properties of strain tensors on surfaces with changing Gauss curvature.
Study classifies graphs in Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces with specific curvature conditions.
In this paper we give a new proof of a theorem by Alexandrov on the Gauss curvature prescription of Euclidean convex sets. This proof is based on the duality theory of convex sets and on optimal mass transport. A noteworthy property of this proof is that it does not rely neither on the theory of convex polyhedra nor on…
Revises Gauss's Lemma using metrical distortion and differential slip.
This expository paper contains a detailed introduction to some important works concerning the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem. The study of this theorem has a long history dating back to Gauss's Theorema Egregium (Latin: Remarkable Theorem) and culminated in Chern's groundbreaking work [14] in 1944, which is a deep and wond…
There has been significant recent work on the theory and application of randomized coordinate descent algorithms, beginning with the work of Nesterov [SIAM J. Optim., 22(2), 2012], who showed that a random-coordinate selection rule achieves the same convergence rate as the Gauss-Southwell selection rule. This result su…

By proving graph theoretical versions of Green-Stokes, Gauss-Bonnet and Poincare-Hopf, core ideas of undergraduate mathematics can be illustrated in a simple graph theoretical setting. In this pedagogical exposition we present the main proofs on a single page and add illustrations. While discrete Stokes is is old, the …
Study surfaces with specific curvature properties in 3D space.
We present in this article a survey of recent results in value distribution theory for the Gauss maps of several classes of immersed surfaces in space forms, for example, minimal surfaces in Euclidean -space (=3 or 4), improper affine spheres in the affine 3-space and flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space. In parti…
Knot theory applied to proteins, distinguishing folded linear chains.
We consider a general theory of curvatures of discrete surfaces equipped with edgewise parallel Gauss images, and where mean and Gaussian curvatures of faces are derived from the faces' areas and mixed areas. Remarkably these notions are capable of unifying notable previously defined classes of surfaces, such as discre…
