Abstract

We prove that a complete connected scalar-flat Euclidean hypersurface of dimension $n\geq3$ is an affine hyperplane if its normalized mean curvature has sufficiently small $L^n$ norm. We also compute the total mean curvature energy of a classical rotational scalar-flat family to show that finiteness cannot replace smallness in dimensions $n\geq3$.

Metric Lines in Engel-type Groups

In the framework of sub-Riemannian manifolds, a natural question is: What are the ''metric lines'' (i.e., isometric embeddings of the real line)? This article presents a conjecture classifying metric lines in Carnot groups and investigates the question for Carnot groups of arbitrary rank. It focuses on metric lines in Engel-type groups, whose sub-Riemannian structure is defined on a distribution of rank $n+1$. The approach employs a novel technique, the sequence method, initially developed to study metric lines in jet space.

Ancient Gauss curvature flows of bounded width

In this paper, we construct a pancake-like ancient compact solution with flat sides to the Gauss curvature flow, contained in a slab. Also, we construct sausage-like ancient compact solutions to the $α$-Gauss curvature flow with $α>\frac{1}{2}$, asymptotic to a round cylinder.

Metric Lines in the Space of Curves

This paper investigates sub-Riemannian geodesics in the jet space of curves. We establish the existence of two distinct families of metric lines, that is, globally minimizing geodesics, in the $2$-jet space of plane curves. This result contributes to the broader classification of metric lines in jet spaces. Additionally, we present precise criteria that characterize when a sub-Riemannian geodesic in the $2$-jet space of plane curves is a metric line.
