Study on curve shortening flow with boundary conditions, proving convergence or contraction.

Classifies ancient flows in a disc with boundary.

We prove two theorems on the removal of singularities on the boundary of a pseudo-holomorphic curve. In one theorem, we need no apriori assumption on the area of the curve. The proof uses a doubling argument with the goal of converting curves with boundary to curves without boundary. Our method is new and geometric and…

Let M be a compact, orientable, mean convex 3-manifold with boundary. We show that the set of all simple closed curves in the boundary of M which bound unique area minimizing disks in M is dense in the space of simple closed curves in the boundary of M which are nullhomotopic in M. We also show that the set of all simp…

The paper classifies algebraic curves in 4-balls and their boundaries.

Primitive curves in handlebodies form a connected complex.

The paper studies the connectedness of a graph's boundary for surfaces.

The Abstract Boundary singularity theorem was first proven by Ashley and Scott. It links the existence of incomplete causal geodesics in strongly causal, maximally extended spacetimes to the existence of Abstract Boundary essential singularities, i.e., non-removable singular boundary points. We give two generalizations…

Simple closed curves in ε-boundaries separate sets in the plane.

Study curve shortening flow in high dimensions with boundary constraints.

The boundary of certain hyperbolic groups is like a Menger curve.

Paper shows regions close to negatively curved metrics are minimal fillings and rigid.

In this paper we investigate free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball in Euclidean 3-space, and by using holomorphic techniques we prove that intersection curves of free boundary minimal surfaces with the unit sphere are all circles.

In this note, we study the radius of positively curved or non-negatively curved Alexandrov space with strictly convex boundary, with convexity measured by the Base-Angle defined by Alexander and Bishop. We also estimate the volume of the boundary of non-negatively curved spaces as well as the rigidity case, which can b…

Study the Gromov boundary of fine curve graph for surface homeomorphisms.

The study shows that certain curve graphs are hierarchically hyperbolic but not Gromov hyperbolic.

Let S be the boundary of a handlebody M. We prove that the set of curves in S that are boundaries of disks in M, considered as a subset of the complex of curves of S, is quasi-convex.

Spheres in curve graphs are connected, proving Gromov boundary linearity.

In the spirit of Otal and Croke, we prove that a negatively-curved asymptotically hyperbolic surface is boundary distance rigid, where the distance between two points on the boundary at infinity is defined by a renormalized quantity.

We consider compact connected minimal surfaces, with a pair of boundary curves (not necessarily convex) in distinct planes, that have least-area amongst all orientable surfaces with the same boundary. When the planes containing these two boundary curves are either parallel or sufficiently close to parallel, and when th…

The paper proves compactness for holomorphic curves with boundary on nearby Lagrangians.

Defines timelike ideal boundary for non-positively curved Lorentzian spaces.

In genus two and higher, the fundamental group of a closed surface acts naturally on the curve complex of the surface with one puncture. Combining ideas from previous work of Kent--Leininger--Schleimer and Mitra, we construct a universal Cannon--Thurston map from a subset of the circle at infinity for the closed surfac…

Solves curve migration problem with elastic flows.

New method proves rigidity of minimal hypersurfaces in curved 4-manifolds.

The Riemannian submersion $π: \text{SO}_0(1,n) \to \mathbb{H}^n$ is a principal bundle and its fiber at $π(e)$ is the imbedding of $\text{SO}(n)$ into $\text{SO}_0(1,n)$, where $e$ is the identity of both $\text{SO}_0(1,n)$ and $\text{SO}(n)$. In this study, we associate a curve, starting from the identity, in $\…

The Poincaré series for surfaces with boundary extends to the complex plane.

We discuss an alternative approach to the uniformisation problem on surfaces with boundary by representing conformal structures on surfaces $M$ of general type by hyperbolic metrics with boundary curves of constant positive geodesic curvature. In contrast to existing approaches to this problem, the boundary curves of o…

Study shows how a curve shortens to a half-circle under specific flow.

Classifies special quartic curves up to equivalence.

We investigate the geometry of the graphs of nonseparating curves for surfaces of finite positive genus with potentially infinitely many punctures. This graph has infinite diameter and is known to be Gromov hyperbolic by work of the author. We study finite covers between such surfaces and show that lifts of nonseparati…

Geometric interpretation of 3-manifold invariants using immersed curves.

Researchers describe the Gromov boundary of a graph related to surfaces.

In this paper, we give several results on area minimizing surfaces in strictly mean convex 3-manifolds. First, we study the genus of absolutely area minimizing surfaces in a compact, orientable, strictly mean convex 3-manifold M bounded by a simple closed curve in the boundary of M. Our main result is that for any g>=0…

Curves can bound only finitely many developable surfaces.

Framework for isometric immersions of planar regions from framed curves.

Study on migrating elastic flows of curves across half-planes.

Two optimization problems for Loewner energy curves and their symmetries.

We give a proof of the Gromov compactness theorem using the language of stable curves (i.e. cusp-curve of Gromov, or stable maps of Kontsevich and Manin) in general setting: An almost complex structure on a target manifold is only continuous and can vary; the curves are only assumed to have fixed ``topological type'', …

Study the boundaries of ε-neighborhoods of planar sets, showing their structure and curvature.

In the curve complex for a surface, a handlebody set is the set of loops that bound properly embedded disks in a given handlebody bounded by the surface. A boundary set is the set of non-separating loops in the curve complex that bound two-sided, properly embedded surfaces. For a Heegaard splitting, the distance betwee…

We construct Peano curves $γ: [0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}^2$ whose "footprints" $γ([0,t])$, $t>0$, have $C^\infty$ boundaries and are tangent to a common continuous line field on the punctured plane $\mathbb{R}^2 \setminus \{γ(0)\}$. Moreover, these boundaries can be taken $C^\infty$-close to any prescribed smooth family…
