Abstract

We study complete embedded translating solitons in R^3 with finite genus and finite entropy. We prove that such collapsed translators whose wings are all of planar type (in a weak topological sense) must be vertical flat planes. In particular, this implies the non-existence result for gluing and doubling constructions involving planes that was conjectured in (14) and announced in (9) as an application of the authors' techniques, under weaker assumptions than previous rigidity results by Khan and Lynch-Tinaglia in (17,19,20). A key ingredient is a sharp new a priori decay estimate in the exterior problem for the horizontal graphical translator equation, showing that bounded solutions to the nonlinear equation, and their gradients, are controlled by multiples of the Green's function of the linear drift Laplacian, regardless of the size of the given L^\infty data. Combined with a graphical description of the infinite ends and the Neves-Tian flux identity, this yields the main rigidity result. As another application, we obtain a full classification of collapsed embedded finite-genus translators of entropy lambda < 3.

Capillary minimal slicing and scalar curvature rigidity

We develop minimal slicing via capillary hypersurfaces to understand scalar curvature metric on manifolds bounded below with boundary. In particular, in dimension $4$, we prove following comparison and rigidity statement: given a compact Riemannian $4$-manifold $(M^4,g)$ with a mean convex boundary whose boundary is diffeomorphic to boundary of a connected convex domain in $\mathbb R^4$, if the scalar curvature is non-negative and the scaled mean curvature comparison holds along the boundary, then $M$ is isometric to the Euclidean domain. Moreover, we prove a comparison and rigidity result of manifolds with Listing type scaling invariant scalar and mean curvature comparison : $R g \ge -12 g_{\mathbb{H}^{4}}$ and $\hat{H}^{2} g \ge \hat{H}_{0} g_{\mathbb{H}^{4}}$, where $\hat{H}$ is a shifted mean curvature depending on the scale of manifold. This proves the traced version of Gromov's conjecture on comparison and rigidity of hyperbolic convex domains

Classification of Smooth Alignable Voss Surfaces

Alignable nets are grid structures that can collapse to a planar strip. This property simplifies on-site assembly and enables compact transport and storage. These structures are then deployed by a scissor motion at vertices in a desired location. In this article, we classify all non-developable surfaces supporting an alignable net that additionally have the geodesic-conjugate net property, namely, the alignable Voss surfaces. Using the surface elements and adapted frames, we show that these surfaces arise as rotation fields of either helicoidal pseudospherical surfaces or Amsler surfaces, resulting in two distinct classes. The first class consists of helicoidal Voss surfaces. Exploiting this helicoidal structure, we combine a kinematic interpretation with the Bour family to derive explicit immersion formulas depending on the isometric deformation and alignability parameters. Furthermore, we examine several subclasses and an extension of this result in detail. In particular, we study the notable case of infinitely many geodesic-conjugate nets on a helicoid and provide a kinematic explanation for why this phenomenon appears in computations. For the second class, we obtain the classification at the level of the fundamental forms and show that they correspond to certain $3$-parameter families of non-helicoidal intrinsic surfaces of revolution. These families are governed by general Painleve III solutions including both regular and nonregular solutions. Finally, a surprising feature of this class is that its members support geodesic isothermal-conjugate nets absent from Eisenhart's classification of the aforementioned nets, thereby identifying a missing case in that classification.

On weighted extremal Kähler metrics

The notion of weighted extremal Kähler metrics extends the classical notion of Calabi's extremal Kähler metrics, but includes many well-studied objects in Kähler geometry such as Kähler-Ricci solitons and Sasaki-Einstein metrics. In this paper, after explaining how this notion grew out, we will try to survey recent works concerning the YTD conjecture on weighted extremal Kähler metrics.
