Minimal surfaces in S3(2) linked to vector fields on punctured sphere.

We introduce the moduli space of spectral curves of constant mean curvature (\cmc\hspace{-5pt}) cylinders of finite type in the round unit 3-sphere. The subset of spectral curves of mean-convex Alexandrov embedded cylinders is explicitly determined using a combination of integrable systems and geometric analysis techni…

We prove that if the unit codisc bundle of a closed Riemannian manifold embeds symplectically into a symplectic cylinder of radius one then the length of the shortest nontrivial closed geodesic is at most half the area of the unit disc.

The paper quantifies how much of a 4-ball must be removed to squeeze into a cylinder, proving a lower bound on the Minkowski dimension.

We obtain the parametric equations of all biharmonic Legendre curves and Hopf cylinders in the 3-dimensional unit sphere endowed with the modified Sasakian structure defined by Tanno.

Study on helicoidal singular minimal surfaces with specific properties.

We study constrained generalized Killing spinors over the metric cone and cylinder of a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold, developing a toolkit which can be used to investigate certain problems arising in supersymmetric flux compactifications of supergravity theories. Using geometric algebra techniques, we give conceptually…

Proves geodesic connections on 2-torus without invariant tori.

In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the hypersurface M^n in the Euclidean (n+1)-space R^{n+1} that satisfies an equation of mean curvature type, called singular minimal hypersurface equation. Such an equation physically characterizes the hypersurfaces in the upper halfspace (R^{n+1})_{+} with lowest gravi…

We consider families of Dirac operators on the unit interval which depend on parameters via boundary conditions. We study the associated eta forms and Maslov cocyles. With this simple example we show how previous results of Lesch/Woiciechowski and the first author on the eta invariant of cylinders generalize to the fam…

The paper explores conditions for certain submanifolds to be cylinders.

Researchers create metrics on hyperbolic space's tangent bundle.

A $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold is called Killing submersion if it admits a Riemannian submersion over a surface such that its fibers are the trajectories of a complete unit Killing vector field. In this paper, we give a characterization of proper biharmonic CMC surfaces in a Killing submersion. In the last part,…

The paper proves that symmetric sets with minimal Gaussian surface area are nearly convex cylinders.

A constant angle surface in Minkowski space is a spacelike surface whose unit normal vector field makes a constant hyperbolic angle with a fixed timelike vector. In this work we study and classify these surfaces. In particular, we show that they are flat. Next we prove that a tangent developable surface (resp. cylinder…

We prove an explicit characterization of the points in Thurston's Master Teapot. This description can be implemented algorithmically to test whether a point in $\mathbb{C} \times \mathbb{R}$ belongs to the complement of the Master Teapot. As an application, we show that the intersection of the Master Teapot with the un…

The study classifies hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures in $\mathbb{S}^3 imes \mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{H}^3 imes \mathbb{R}$.

For any asymptotically conical self-shrinker with entropy less than or equal to that of a cylinder we show that the link of the asymptotic cone must separate the unit sphere into exactly two connected components, both diffeomorphic to the self-shrinker. Combining this with recent work of Brendle, we conclude that the r…

We prove a uniform C^alpha estimate for collapsing Calabi-Yau metrics on the total space of a proper holomorphic submersion over the unit ball in C^m. The usual methods of Calabi, Evans-Krylov, and Caffarelli do not apply to this setting because the background geometry degenerates. We instead rely on blowup arguments a…

We define cylinder knots as billiard knots in a cylinder. We present a necessary condition for cylinder knots: after dividing cylinder knots by possible rotational symmetries we obtain ribbon knots. We obtain an upper bound for the number of cylinder knots with two fixed parameters (out of three). In addition we prove …

We establish basic geometric and topological properties of Thurston's Master Teapot and the Thurston set for superattracting unimodal self-maps of intervals. In particular, the Master Teapot is connected, contains the unit cylinder, and its intersection with a set $\mathbb{D} \times \{c\}$ grows monotonically with $c$.…

Study nonnegatively curved Alexandrov spaces, proving isoperimetric conditions and structure at infinity.

Minimal cylinders in Heisenberg group characterized using loop group method.

Holomorphic cylinders converge to disks joined by flow lines.

Two ancient solutions to Gauss curvature flow are identified for cylinders.

The paper develops a method to map knots in a cylinder to virtual-flat knots.

In this paper we show how the existence of a certain stable cylinder determines (locally) the ambient manifold where it is immersed. This cylinder has to verify a {\it bifurcation phenomena}, we make this explicit in the introduction. In particular, the existence of such a stable cylinder implies that the ambient manif…

Cylinders in warped product spaces have zero curvature.

We establish a vanishing result for the $L_{q,p}$-cohomology ($q\ge p$) of a twisted cylinder, which is a generalization of a warped cylinder. The result is new even for warped cylinders. We base on the methods for proving the $(p,q)$ Sobolev--Poincaré inequality developed by L.~Shartser.

The paper examines the stability of Killing cylinders in hyperbolic space.

Knots parametrized in cylinder coordinates by t -> (st, 3 + cos(nt), cos(mt + φ)) share properties of Lissajous and billiard knots in a cylinder. We use these 'billiard knots in a flat solid torus' to study two topics: when is Z(s,n,m) equal to Z(s,m,n)? And: why are the determinants of certain Lissajous and billiard k…

This paper explores how pairs of multicurves can be realized as cylinders on translation surfaces.

Study decomposes geometric surfaces, finding special curves.

New findings on $κ$-solutions with round cylinder as asymptotic shrinker.

We prove rigidity for hypersurfaces with boundary in the unit $(n+1)$-sphere with scalar curvature bounded below by $n(n-1)$. Under appropriate boundary conditions, the hypersurfaces are shown to be part of the equatorial spheres. The lower bound $n(n-1)$ is critical in the sense that the hypersurface may contain geode…

Round cylinders are rigid in Ricci shrinkers close to the standard product.

Stable cylinders found in hyperbolic groups and curve graphs.

Study on quantum particle evolution on Grushin cylinder, embedding in R^3.

We consider cylinders in ${\cal H}^2\times R$ (see definitions in the introduction) and prove that a complete and connected surface in ${\cal H}^2\times R$ with the vanishing of the Gauss and extrinsic curvatures is a cylinder.

In 1991, Dajczer and Rodriguez proved in [10] that a complete minimal real Kahler submanifold of codimension 2, if with complex dimension > 2, would be either holomorphic, or a cylinder, or complex ruled. In this article, we generalize their result to real analytic complete real Kahler submanifolds of codimension 4. Th…

Study constructs closed curves with constant curvature on cylinders and tori.

Study proves uniqueness and rigidity of cylindrical self-shrinkers using Łojasiewicz inequalities.

In this article we prove that a connected and properly embedded translating soliton in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with uniformly bounded genus on compact sets which is $C^1$-asymptotic to two planes outside a cylinder, either is flat or coincides with the grim reaper cylinder.

Proves a Minkowski inequality for star-shaped hypersurfaces in warped cylinders.

For an orientable surface of finite type equipped with a flat metric with holonomy of finite order q, the set of maximal embedded cylinders can be empty, non-empty, finite, or infinite. The case when q < 3 is well-studied as such surfaces are (semi-)translation surfaces. Not only is the set always infinite, the core cu…

Paper proves uniqueness of catenary cylinders based on their asymptotic shape.

We cut a hyperbolic surface of finite area along some analytic simple closed curves, and glue in cylinders of varying moduli. We prove that as the moduli of the glued cylinders go to infinity, the Fenchel-Nielsen twist coordinates for the resulting surface around those cylinders converge.

New method proves inequalities for self-shrinkers using perturbation.
