Stable 2-systole bounds in positive scalar curvature
Douglas Stryker
We prove that the stable 2-systole is uniformly bounded on the space of Riemannian metrics with scalar curvature at least one for closed spin 2-essential manifolds, which includes…
A spinor proof of the classification of stable minimal surfaces in
Douglas Stryker
We give a proof that every complete two-sided stable minimal surface in is flat using the index theory for Dirac operators on twisted spinor bundles.
Stable minimal hypersurfaces in
Otis Chodosh, Chao Li, Paul Minter +1
We show that a complete, two-sided, stable minimal hypersurface in is flat.
Optimal regularity for minimizers of the prescribed mean curvature functional over isotopies
Lorenzo Sarnataro, Douglas Stryker
We prove the optimal regularity for minimizers of the prescribed mean curvature functional over isotopy classes. As an application, we find an embedded sphere of prescrib…
Index, Intersections, and Multiplicity of Min-Max Geodesics
Jared Marx-Kuo, Lorenzo Sarnataro, Douglas Stryker
We prove upper bounds for the Morse index and number of intersections of min-max geodesics achieving the -widths of a closed surface. A key tool in our analysis is a proof that…
