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…

Almgren's Three-Legged Starfish

Christos Mantoulidis, Jared Marx-Kuo

In this note we use classical tools from min-max and hyperbolic geometry to substantiate a folklore example in Almgren--Pitts min-max theory, the three-legged starfish metric on a…

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…

Double-well phase transitions are more rigid than minimal hypersurfaces

Christos Mantoulidis

In this short note we see that double-well phase transitions exhibit more rigidity than their minimal hypersurface counterparts.

Decomposing 4-manifolds with positive scalar curvature

Richard H. Bamler, Chao Li, Christos Mantoulidis

We show that every closed, oriented, topologically PSC 4-manifold can be obtained via 0 and 1-surgeries from a topologically PSC 4-orbifold with vanishing first Betti number and se…

The p-widths of a surface

Otis Chodosh, Christos Mantoulidis

The -widths of a closed Riemannian manifold are a nonlinear analogue of the spectrum of its Laplace--Beltrami operator, which corresponds to areas of a certain min-max sequence…

Metrics with and flexibility in the Riemannian Penrose Inequality

Chao Li, Christos Mantoulidis

On a closed manifold, consider the space of all Riemannian metrics for which -Delta + kR is positive (nonnegative) definite, where k > 0 and R is the scalar curvature. This spectra…

Otis Chodosh, Kyeongsu Choi, Christos Mantoulidis +1

We prove that sufficiently low-entropy closed hypersurfaces can be perturbed so that their mean curvature flow encounters only spherical and cylindrical singularities. Our theorem…

Minimal surfaces and the Allen-Cahn equation on 3-manifolds: index, multiplicity, and curvature estimates

Otis Chodosh, Christos Mantoulidis

The Allen-Cahn equation is a semilinear PDE which is deeply linked to the theory of minimal hypersurfaces via a singular limit. We prove curvature estimates and strong sheet separa…
