Study of minimal annuli in hyperbolic space with horizontal ends, showing constraints on boundary curves.

This thesis constructs cmc 1/2 surfaces from catenoids, proving convergence and solving boundary value problems.

We construct the first examples of complete, properly embedded minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ with finite total curvature and positive genus. These are constructed by gluing copies of horizontal catenoids or other nondegenerate summands. We also establish that every horizontal catenoid is nondegen…

In this paper, we study Alexandrov-embedded r-noids with genus 1 and horizontal ends. Such minimal surfaces are of two types and we build several examples of the first one. We prove that if a polygon bounds an immersed polygonal disk, it is the flux polygon of an r-noid with genus 1 of the first type. We also study the…

We prove that a minimal oriented stable annular end in H^2 x R whose asymptotic boundary is contained in two vertical lines has finite total curvature and converges to a vertical plane. Furthermore, if the end is embedded then it is a horizontal graph.

The study restricts surfaces in a specific geometry to certain configurations, proving no annular ends can be contained in horizontal slabs.

We prove the existence of a complete, embedded, singly periodic minimal surface, whose quotient by vertical translations has genus one and two ends. The existence of this surface was announced in our paper in {\it Bulletin of the AMS}, 29(1):77--84, 1993. Its ends in the quotient are asymptotic to one full turn of the …

A new framework for federated learning tackles challenges with horizontally partitioned labels and stragglers.

Study precise rates of horizontal gap shrinkage on generic translation surfaces.

In this paper we prove that a complete minimal surface immersed in H^2xR, with finite total curvature and two ends, each one asymptotic to a vertical geodesic plane, must be a horizontal catenoid. Moreover, we give a geometric description of minimal ends of finite total curvature in H^2xR. We also prove that a minimal …

For all $m \in \mathbb N - \{0\}$, we prove the existence of a one dimensional family of genus $m$, constant mean curvature (equal to 1) surfaces which are complete, immersed in $\mathbb R^3$ and have two Delaunay ends asymptotic to nodoïdal ends. Moreover, these surfaces are invariant under the group of isometries of …

In this paper we develop the theory of properly immersed minimal surfaces in the quotient space $\mathbb H^2\times\mathbb R/G,$ where $G$ is a subgroup of isometries generated by a vertical translation and a horizontal isometry in $\mathbb H^2$ without fixed points. The horizontal isometry can be either a parabolic tra…

We construct Weierstrass data for higher genus embedded doubly periodic minimal surfaces and present numerical evidence that the associated period problem can be solved. In the orthogonal ends case, there previously was only one known surface for each genus. We illustrate multiple new examples for each genus g>2. In th…

Given k>=2, we construct a (2k-2)-parameter family of properly embedded minimal surfaces in H^2 x R invariant by a vertical translation T, called Saddle Towers, which have total intrinsic curvature 4 pi(1-k), genus zero and 2k vertical Scherk-type ends in the quotient by T. As limits of those Saddle Towers, we obtain J…

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 $\…

Constructs minimal surfaces by gluing saddle towers with Scherk ends.

New tribrackets defined to count link homotopy invariants.

A Carnot group $\mathbb{G}$ admits Lusin approximation for horizontal curves if for any absolutely continuous horizontal curve $γ$ in $\mathbb{G}$ and $\varepsilon>0$, there is a $C^1$ horizontal curve $Γ$ such that $Γ=γ$ and $Γ'=γ'$ outside a set of measure at most $\varepsilon$. We verify this property for free Carno…

Defines conformal submersion with horizontal distribution and provides necessary conditions for its existence.

The horizontal Laplacian of a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibers and an integrable horizontal distribution.

We describe explicit horizontal open books on some Seifert fibered 3--manifolds. We show that the contact structures compatible with these horizontal open books are Stein fillable and horizontal as well. Moreover we draw surgery diagrams for some of these contact structures.

We study some sub-Riemannian objects (such as horizontal connectivity, horizontal connection, horizontal tangent plane, horizontal mean curvature) in hypersurfaces of sub-Riemannian manifolds. We prove that if a connected hypersurface in a contact manifold of dimension more than three is noncharacteristic or with isola…

Study H-type foliations in sub-Riemannian geometry.

For each $k\geq2$, we construct two families of surfaces with constant mean curvature $H$ for $H\in[0,1/2]$ in $Σ(κ)\times\R$ where $κ+4H^2\leq0$. The surfaces are invariant under $2π/k$-rotations about a vertical fiber of $Σ(κ)\times\R$, have genus zero, and a finite number of ends. The first family generalizes the no…

The study finds conditions for horizontal envelopes in a 3D-Heisenberg group.

The paper studies critical points of horizontal energy functional in Riemannian foliations.

In this paper, we shall study the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surfaces equation. We prove some results about the boundary behaviour of a solution of this problem. We describe the behaviour of a non-converging sequence of solutions in term of lines of divergence in the domain. Using this second result, we build so…

The study develops inequalities for Riemannian foliations without bundle-like assumptions.

Affine and conformal submersions with horizontal distribution are studied in statistical manifolds.

Study shows horizontal diameter of unit spheres is π for specific foliations.

The complexity of horizontality in twistor spaces on tori is infinite.

We study unit horizontal bundles associated with Riemannian submersions. First we investigate metric properties of an arbitrary unit horizontal bundle equipped with a Riemannian metric of the Cheeger-Gromoll type. Next we examine it from the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence theory point of view, and we state a collapse the…

We describe explicit open books on arbitrary plumbings of oriented circle bundles over closed oriented surfaces. We show that, for a non-positive plumbing, the open book we construct is horizontal and the corresponding compatible contact structure is also horizontal and Stein fillable. In particular, we describe horizo…

Smooth 4-manifolds have simple horizontal decompositions.

We deform a map into a Riemannian manifold that is horizontal with respect to a submersion onto a non-positively curved manifold and satisfies a Chow condition into a harmonic one through a horizontal homotopy.

New model for STSs with restricted horizontal gluings, focusing on maximal horizontal cylinders.

Most known examples of doubly periodic minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with parallel ends limit as a foliation of $\mathbb{R}^3$ by horizontal noded planes, with the location of the nodes satisfying a set of balance equations. Conversely, for each set of points providing a balanced configuration, there is a correspo…

Study on curvatures of surfaces in specific Lie groups.

Examples of area-minimizing graphs with low regularity in a specific group.

We study maximal horizontal subgroups of Carnot groups of Heisenberg type. We classify those of dimension half of that of the canonical distribution ("lagrangians") and illustrate some notable ones of small dimension. An infinitesimal classification of the arbitrary maximal horizontal submanifolds follows as a conseque…

Method calculates $\mathbb{Z}_2$-Thurston norm for Seifert 3-manifolds using pseudo-horizontal surfaces.

We determine necessary conditions for a non-horizontal submanifold of a sub-Riemannian stratified Lie group to be of minimal measure. We calculate the first variation of the measure for a non-horizontal submanifold and find that the minimality condition implies the tensor equation $H+σ=0$, where $H$ is analogous to the…

We present a proof of the generalized Nitsche's conjecture proposed by W.H.Meeks III and H. Rosenberg: For $t\ge 0$, let $P_t$ denote the horizontal plane of height $t$ over the $x_1,x_2$ plane. Suppose that $M \subset R^3$ is a minimal annulus with the boundary contains in $P_0$ and that $M$ intersects every $P_t$ in …

It is known that a complete immersed minimal surface with finite total curvature in $\mathbb H^2\times\mathbb R$ is proper, has finite topology and each one of its ends is asymptotic to a geodesic polygon at infinity (Hauswirth and Rosenberg, 2006; Hauswirth, Nelli, Sa Earp and Toubiana, 2015). In this paper we prove t…
