Decompositions of ZMC Graphs and Euler-Ramanujan type identities

Abstract

In this paper, we study finite and infinite decomposition formulas for zero mean curvature (ZMC) graphs in Euclidean, Lorentz--Minkowski, and isotropic (3)-spaces. We first derive new Euler--Ramanujan-type identities that decompose the conjugate of Scherk's first minimal surface into dilated catenoids. Using Weierstrass factorisation and power series methods, we then obtain infinite decompositions for a broad class of isotropic ZMC graphs into helicoids, logarithmoids of revolution, and Enneper surfaces. These results are extended to wider families of ZMC surfaces arising from the López--Ros transformation, Bonnet rotation, and a one-parameter family of metric deformations. We also establish finite decomposition formulas, including analogues of Scherk tower decompositions in Euclidean and isotropic settings, and prove a characterisation theorem for finite decompositions of isotropic minimal surfaces. Finally, we discuss applications to lamellar structures.

Futaki invariant on Hopf manifolds

The Futaki invariant is a fundamental tool in Kähler geometry representing an obstruction to the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics. Recently, it was generalized to compact complex manifolds. In this paper, we prove that it vanishes on Hopf manifolds.

Remarks on potential functions of noncompact quasi-Einstein manifolds

In this article, we study the set of potential functions on noncompact quasi-Einstein manifolds. We show that the space of all positive potential functions on a three-dimensional noncompact quasi-Einstein manifold has dimension at most two, and that equality holds if and only if the manifold is isometric to a product $B\times\mathbb{R}$, where $B$ is a $λ$-Einstein surface or one of the examples obtained by L. Berard Bergery and described in Besse's book. Moreover, we prove that any asymptotically flat $n$-dimensional quasi-Einstein manifold with $λ=0$ is necessarily Ricci-flat.

Adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes

Higher gauge theory for non-abelian structure 2-groups faces significant challenges when extending beyond the fake-flat sector, which suffers from limited applicability in physical models. A promising resolution involves equipping 2-groups with additional structure, known as adjustments. We present a comprehensive theory of adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes, classified by Saemann's adjusted version of non-abelian differential cohomology. This theory enables, in particular, a new coordinate-independent formulation of Tellez-Dominguez' lifting theorem, establishing a correspondence between adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes and connections on abelian bundle 2-gerbes.
