New theorem finds new minimal hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space.

Is it possible to obtain unbounded minimal surfaces in certain asymptotically flat 3-manifolds as a limit of solutions to a natural mountain pass problem with diverging boundaries? In this work, we give evidence that this might be true by analyzing related aspects in the case of the exact Riemannian Schwarzschild manif…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the Palais-Smale Condition C to hold for the Yang-Mills functional for connections that are invariant under a Lie group action on the manifold with orbits of codimension less than or equal to three. As an application the mountain pass lemma is used to give a simple proo…

In this work, we prove the existence of a third embedded minimal hypersurface spanning a closed submanifold $γ$ contained in the boundary of a compact Riemannian manifold with convex boundary, when it is known a priori the existence of two strictly stable minimal hypersurfaces that bound $γ$. In order to do so, we deve…

The paper proves critical point results for Frechet manifolds.

We give sufficient conditions for a $C^1_c$-local diffeomorphism between Fréchet spaces to be a global one. We extend the Clarke's theory of generalized gradients to the more general setting of Fréchet spaces. As a consequence, we define the Chang Palais-Smale condition for Lipschitz functions and show that a functio…

In this paper, we build up a min-max theory for minimal surfaces using sweepouts of surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$. We develop a direct variational methods similar to the proof of the famous Plateau problem by J. Douglas and T. Rado. As a result, we show that the min-max value for the area functional can be achieved by a …

Study the landscape of Lipschitz functions between manifolds using persistent homology.

We present the min-max construction of critical points of the area using penalization arguments. Precisely, for any immersion of a closed surface $Σ$ into a given closed manifold, we add to the area Lagrangian a term equal to the $L^q$ norm of the second fundamental form of the immersion times a "viscosity" parameter. …

For a stable marginally outer trapped surface (MOTS) in an axially symmetric spacetime with cosmological constant $Λ> 0$ and with matter satisfying the dominant energy condition, we prove that the area $A$ and the angular momentum $J$ satisfy the inequality $8π|J| \le A\sqrt{(1-ΛA/4π)(1-ΛA/12π)}$ which is saturated pre…

For non-homotopic maps $u,v\in C^{\infty}(M,N)$ between closed Riemannian manifolds, we consider the smallest energy level $γ_p(u,v)$ for which there exist paths $u_t\in W^{1,p}(M,N)$ connecting $u_0=u$ to $u_1=v$ with $\|du_t\|_{L^p}^p\leq γ_p(u,v)$. When $u$ and $v$ are $(k-2)$-homotopic, work of Hang and Lin shows t…
