Concentration of Small Hawking Type Surfaces
Alexander Friedrich
We investigate the Hawking energy of small surfaces in space times without symmetry assumptions by introducing the notion of Hawking type functionals. In particular, we find that H…

Minimizers of Generalized Willmore Functionals
Alexander Friedrich
We introduce a notion of generalized Willmore functionals motivated by the Hawking energy of General Relativity and bending energies of membranes. An example of a bending energy is…
