We consider three generalizations of the isoperimetric problem to higher codimension and provide results on equilibrium, stability, and minimization.

Researchers found counterexamples to a 2-jet determination theorem in higher codimension.

In this paper we consider the existence and regularity problem for Coulomb frames in the normal bundle of two-dimensional surfaces with higher codimension in Euclidean spaces. While the case of two codimensions can be approached directly by potential theory, more sophisticated methods have to be applied for codimension…

We derive curvature estimates for minimal submanifolds in Euclidean space for arbitrary dimension and codimension via Gauss map. Thus, Schoen-Simon-Yau's results and Ecker-Huisken's results are generalized to higher codimension. In this way we improve Hildebrandt-Jost-Widman's result for the Bernstein type theorem.

Using the convex functions in Grassmannian manifolds we can carry out interior estimates for mean curvature flow of higher codimension. In this way some of the results of Ecker-Huisken can be generalized to higher codimension

In this text we outline the major techniques, concepts and results in mean curvature flow with a focus on higher codimension. In addition we include a few novel results and some material that cannot be found elsewhere.

Connected sums defined for codimension two locally flat submanifolds in higher dimensions.

We consider the behavior of gradient flow and of discrete and noisy gradient descent. It is commonly noted that the addition of noise to the process of discrete gradient descent can affect the trajectory of gradient descent. In previous work, we observed such effects. There, we considered the case where the minima had …

We extend the classical definition of {\it width} to higher dimensional, smooth codimension 2 knots and show in each dimension there are knots of arbitrarily large width.

In this paper, we derive global bounds for the Hölder norm of the gradient of solutions of graphic mean curvature flow with boundary of arbitrary codimension.

We consider the Dirichlet boundary value problem for graphical maximal submanifolds inside Lorentzian type ambient spaces, and obtain general existence and uniqueness results which apply to any codimension.

The classical Minkowski formula is extended to spacelike codimension-two submanifolds in spacetimes which admit "hidden symmetry" from conformal Killing-Yano two-forms. As an application, we obtain an Alexandrov type theorem for spacelike codimension-two submanifolds in a static spherically symmetric spacetime: a codim…

Study proves rigidity theorems for ancient solutions to mean curvature flow with convex image.

We derive pointwise curvature estimates for graphical mean curvature flows in higher codimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such estimates without assuming smallness of first derivatives of the defining map. An immediate application is a convergence theorem of the mean curvature flow of the graph…

We classify irreducible polar foliations of codimension $q$ on quaternionic projective spaces $\mathbb H P^n$, for all $(n,q)\neq(7,1)$. We prove that all irreducible polar foliations of any codimension (resp. of codimension one) on $\mathbb H P^n$ are homogeneous if and only if $n+1$ is a prime number (resp. $n$ is ev…

In this article, using the generalized Newton transformation, we define higher order mean curvatures of distributions of arbitrary codimension and we show that they agree with the ones from Brito and Naveira (Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 18, 371-383 (2000)). We also introduce higher order mean curvature vector fields and we…

We consider a variational problem for submanifolds Q $\subset$ M with nonempty boundary $\partial$Q = K. We propose the definition that the boundary K of any critical point Q have constant mean curvature, which seems to be a new perspective when dim Q \textless{} dim M . We then construct small nearly-spherical solutio…

We compute the minimum number of critical points of a small codimension smooth map between two manifolds. We give as well some partial results for the case of higher codimension when the manifolds are spheres.

Proves planarity and convexity for ancient solutions of mean curvature flow.

In this paper, we generalize Colding and Minicozzi's work \cite{CM} on the stability of self-shrinkers in the hypersurface case to higher co-dimensional cases. The first and second variation formulae of the $F$-functional are derived and an equivalent condition to the stability in general codimension is found. Moreover…

Study proves uniqueness of tangent cones for area-minimizing currents in higher codimensions.

We show that all closed $2$-dimensional singularities for higher codimension mean curvature flow that cannot be perturbed away have uniform entropy bounds and lie in a linear subspace of small dimension. The entropy and dimension of the subspace are both $\leq C\,(1+γ)$ for some universal constant $C$ and genus $γ$. Th…

We give an explicit formula for the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern mass of an asymptotically flat graphical manifold of arbitrary codimension and use it to prove the positive mass theorem and the Penrose inequality for graphs with flat normal bundle.

This lecture notes are an expanded version of the course given at the ERC-School on Geometric Measure Theory and Real Analysis, held in Pisa, September 30th - October 30th 2013. The lectures aim to explain the main steps of a new proof of the partial regularity of area minimizing integer rectifiable currents in higher …

Proves Hessian estimates for special Lagrangian equation with new proofs.

Under suitable conditions on the range of the Gauss map of a complete submanifold of Euclidean space with parallel mean curvature, we construct a strongly subharmonic function and derive a-priori estimates for the harmonic Gauss map. The required conditions here are more general than in previous work and they therefore…

Characterizes projective submanifolds in high dimensions.

We show uniqueness of cylindrical blowups for mean curvature flow in all dimension and all codimension. Cylindrical singularities are known to be the most important; they are the most prevalent in any codimension. Mean curvature flow in higher codimension is a nonlinear parabolic system where many of the methods used f…

We introduce the foliated anti-self dual equation for higher dimensional smooth manifolds with codimension-4 Riemannian foliations. Several fundamental results are established, towards the defining of a Donaldson type invariant for such foliations.

In this paper we investigate the convergence for the mean curvature flow of closed submanifolds with arbitrary codimension in space forms. Particularly, we prove that the mean curvature flow deforms a closed submanifold satisfying a pinching condition in a hyperbolic space form to a round point in finite time.

We obtain new curvature estimates and Bernstein type results for minimal $n-$submanifolds in $\ir{n+m},\, m\ge 2$ under the condition that the rank of its Gauss map is at most 2. In particular, this applies to minimal surfaces in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary codimension.

We establish existence and regularity results for normal Coulomb frames in the normal bundle of two-dimensional surfaces of disc-type embedded in Euclidean spaces of higher dimensions.

The paper extends a theorem about stable minimal surfaces to higher codimensions.

Paper proves stability and Dirichlet problem for translating hypersurfaces.

In this paper, we first use the method of Colding and Minicozzi [5] to show that K. Smoczyk's classification theorem [16] for complete self-shrinkers in higher codimension also holds under a weaker condition. Then as an application, we give some rigidity results for self-shrinkers in arbitrary codimension.

Mean curvature flows of hypersurfaces have been extensively studied and there are various different approaches and many beautiful results. However, relatively little is known about mean curvature flows of submanifolds of higher codimensions. This notes starts with some basic materials on submanifold geometry, and then …

For compact Riemannian manifolds with convex boundary, B.White proved the following alternative: Either there is an isoperimetric inequality for minimal hypersurfaces or there exists a closed minimal hypersurface, possibly with a small singular set. There is the natural question if a similar result is true for submanif…

In this paper, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for a simply connected Riemannian manifold $(M^n, g)$ to be isometrically immersed, as a submanifold with codimension $p\geq 1$, into the product $S^k\times H^{n+p-k}$ of sphere and hyperboloid.

We construct a class of compact ancient solutions to the mean curvature flow in Euclidean space with high codimension. In particular, we construct higher codimensional ancient curve shortening flows. Moreover, we characterize the asymptotic behavior of these solutions. Add on remark: the construction in this paper has …

6D symplectic manifold with many homologous but inequivalent submanifolds.

We investigate the convergence of the mean curvature flow of arbitrary codimension in Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry. We prove that if the initial submanifold satisfies a pinching condition, then along the mean curvature flow the submanifold contracts smoothly to a round point in finite time. As a consequen…
