Free boundary minimal surfaces of genus zero

Otis Chodosh, Matilde Gianocca

We prove that any embedded genus zero free boundary minimal surface in the ball has first Steklov eigenvalue . This implies the uniqueness of the critical catenoid.

Immersions with small normal curvature

Otis Chodosh, Chao Li

We study Gromov's problem concerning minimal normal curvature immersions in the unit ball. In particular, we determine the minimal possible value of the normal curvature of an $S^n…

Generic regularity for minimizing hypersurfaces in dimension 11

Otis Chodosh, Christos Mantoulidis, Felix Schulze +1

We prove that area-minimizing hypersurfaces are generically smooth in ambient dimension in the context of the Plateau problem and of area minimization in integral homology. Fo…

The p-widths of a polygon

Otis Chodosh, Sithipont Cholsaipant

The -widths are a nonlinear analogue of the spectrum of the Laplacian. We prove that each -width of a polygon in is achieved by a union of billiard trajectorie…

Revisiting generic mean curvature flow in

Otis Chodosh, Kyeongsu Choi, Christos Mantoulidis +1

Bamler--Kleiner recently proved a multiplicity-one theorem for mean curvature flow in R^3 and combined it with the authors' work on generic mean curvature flows to fully resolve Hu…

Complete Riemannian 4-manifolds with uniformly positive scalar curvature

Otis Chodosh, Davi Maximo, Anubhav Mukherjee

We obtain topological obstructions to the existence of a complete Riemannian metric with uniformly positive scalar curvature on certain (non-compact) -manifolds. In particular,…
