It is shown that any two-dimensional spacetimes with compact Cauchy surfaces can be causally isomorphically imbedded into the two-dimensional Einstein's static universe. Also, it is shown that any two-dimensional globally hyperbolic spacetimes are conformally equivalent to a subset of the two-dimensional Einstein's sta…

In this note, we complete the classification of the geometry of non-compact two-dimensional gradient Ricci solitons. As a consequence, we obtain two corollaries: First, a complete two-dimensional gradient Ricci soliton has bounded curvature. Second, we give examples of complete two-dimensional expanding Ricci solitons …

We prove a local graphical theorem for two-dimensional self-shrinkers away from the origin. As applications, we study the asymptotic behavior of noncompact self-shrinkers with finite genus. Also, we show uniform boundedness on the second fundamental form of two-dimensional noncompact self-shrinkers with bounded mean cu…

In this paper, we study a class of two-dimensional Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric $α$ and a 1-form $β$. We characterize those metrics which are Douglasian or locally projectively flat by some equations. In particular, it shows that the known fact that $β$ is always closed for those metrics in higher dim…

It is well-known that classical two-dimensional topological field theories are in one-to-one correspondence with commutative Frobenius algebras. An important extension of classical two-dimensional topological field theories is provided by open-closed two-dimensional topological field theories. In this paper we extend o…

The group of conformal diffeomorphisms and the group of causal automorphisms on two-dimensional globally hyperbolic spacetimes are clarified. It is shown that if spacetimes have non-compact Cauchy surfaces, then the groups are subgroups of that of two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, and if spacetimes have compact Cauc…

We give a complete list of two-dimensional metrics that admit an essential projective vector field. This solves a problem explicitly posed by Sophus Lie in 1882.

In this paper, we investigate the two-dimensional complex Finsler manifolds. The tools of this study are the complex Berwald frames and the Chern-Finsler connection with respect to these frames.

Study classifies equidistant decompositions in 2D spaces.

After recalling the Dirichlet problem at infinity on a Cartan-Hadamard manifold, we discuss what is known and the difference between the two-dimensional and higher-dimensional cases. Turning our attention to the two-dimensional case, we prove that the Dirichlet problem at infinity on a two-dimensional Cartan-Hadamard m…

We prove a reverse isoperimetric inequality for domains homeomorphic to a disc with the boundary of curvature bounded below lying in two-dimensional Alexandrov spaces of curvature $\geqslant c$. We also study the equality case.

The variational principle and the corresponding differential equation for geodesic circles in two dimensional (pseudo)-Riemannian space are being discovered. The relationship with the physical notion of uniformly accelerated relativistic particle is emphasized. The known form of spin-curvature interaction emerges due t…

We argue that two dimensional classical SU(2) Yang-Mills theory describes the embedding of Riemann surfaces in three dimensional curved manifolds. Specifically, the Yang-Mills field strength tensor computes the Riemannian curvature tensor of the ambient space in a thin neighborhood of the surface. In this sense the two…

I prove the two-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian version of the projective Obata conjecture stating that on a closed manifold different from the round sphere every projective (i.e., geodesic-preserving) vector field is Killing.

We prove that knowing the length of geodesics joining points on the boundary of a two-dimensional, compact, simple Riemannian manifold with boundary, we can determine uniquely the Riemannian metric up to the natural obstruction.

The aim of this expository article is to reveal the equivalence of Jörgens' Theorem on the two dimensional unimodular Hessian equation and Fu's Theorem on the two dimensional special Lagrangian equation.

We give a survey on the Weierstrass representations of surfaces in three- and four-dimensional spaces, their applications to the theory of the Willmore functional and on related problems of spectral theory of the two-dimensional Dirac operator with periodic coefficients.

Two-dimensional collapsed spaces with lower Ricci bounds are topological surfaces.

We apply the invariant theory of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space to the class of general rotational surfaces with meridians lying in two-dimensional planes. We find all minimal super-conformal surfaces of this class.

We study torus actions on symplectic manifolds with proper moment maps in the case that each reduced space is two-dimensional. We provide a complete set of invariants for such spaces. Our proof uses sheaves of groupoids of Hamiltonian spaces.

We obtain an asymptotic formula for the eigenvalue distribution function of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the two-dimensional torus in the adiabatic limit given by a Kronecker foliation. Related problems in number theory are discussed.

We relate the total curvature and the isoperimetric deficit of a curve $γ$ in a two-dimensional space of constant curvature with the area enclosed by the evolute of $γ$. We provide also a Gauss-Bonnet theorem for a special class of evolutes.

In this paper we try to establish a connection between a three-dimensional Lotka--Volterra dynamical system and two-dimensional topological surgery. There are many physical phenomena exhibiting two-dimensional topological surgery through a `hole drilling' process. By our connection, such phenomena may be modelled mathe…

Two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds uniquely determined by boundary data.

We prove two injectivity theorems for the geodesic ray transform on two-dimensional, complete, simply connected Riemannian manifolds with non-positive Gaussian curvature, also known as Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. The first theorem is concerned with bounded non-positive curvature and the second with decaying non-positive…

In this article we develop energy methods for a large class of linear and nonlinear Dirac-type equations in two-dimensional Minkowski space. We will derive existence results for several Dirac-type equations originating in quantum field theory, in particular for Dirac-wave maps to compact Riemannian manifolds.

We describe two-dimensional potential Schrodinger and Dirac operators which are finite-gap at one energy level and have singular spectral curves. It appears that the singularities can be rather complicated. Such Dirac operators appear as the spectral curves of tori immersed into the three-space.

We prove that tangent cones at singular boundary points of a two-dimensional current almost area minimizing are unique. Following the ideas exposed by White in [8], the result is achieved by combining a suitable epiperimetric inequality and an almost-monotonicity formula for the mass at boundary points.

We consider two-dimensional immersions of disc-type in R^n. We focus well known classical concepts and study the nonlinear elliptic systems of such mappings. Using an Osserman-type condition we give a priori-estimates of the principle curvatures for certain graphs in R^4 with prescribed mean curvature.

Nontrivial infinitesimal bendings for a class of two-dimensional surfaces are constructed. The surfaces considered here are orientable; compact; with boundary; have positive curvature everywhere except at finitely many planar points; and have vanishing first homology group.As a consequence, a nonrigidity result for suc…

We describe the action of the (Mobius) inversion on the data of the Weierstrass representation of surfaces in the three-space and show that the Moutard transformation of two-dimensional Dirac operators has a geometrical meaning: it maps the potential $U$ of a surface $S$ into the potential of its inversion.

We compare the eigenvalues of the Dirac and Laplace operator on a two-dimensional torus with respect to the trivial spin structure. In particular, we compute their variation up to order 4 upon deformation of the flat metric, study the corresponding Hamiltonian and discuss several families of examples.

The Berwald-Landsberg problem is considered for two dimensional manifolds. We sketch the proof that there are not $\mathcal{C}^5$-regular $y$-global pure Landsberg surfaces. The method used consists on considerer the holonomy representation of the averaged Chern connection and then exhausting all the possible cases, sh…

We establish area bounds for two-dimensional immersions in R^3 and R^n. Namely, for μ-stable immersions in R^3 (R^n), for graphs in $\mathbb R^3$ which solve quasilinear equations in divergence form, and for graphs which are critical for Fermat-type variational problems in R^n.
