Ambient geometry via min-max widths of embedded circles

Lucas Ambrozio, Ivan Miranda, Rafael Montezuma

We prove a lower bound for the Birkhoff min-max invariant of a Riemannian sphere in terms of the min-max width of its embedded circles. The main tool is a method to induce a sweepo…

The min-max width of spheres associated to the distance function

Rafael Montezuma, Idalina Ribeiro

What one obtains when the min-max methods for the distance function are applied on the space of pairs of points of a Riemannian two-sphere? This question is studied in details in t…

The width of embedded circles

Lucas Ambrozio, Rafael Montezuma, Roney Santos

We develop a Morse-Lusternik-Schnirelmann theory for the distance between two points of a smoothly embedded circle in a complete Riemannian manifold. This theory suggests very natu…

The first width of non-negatively curved surfaces with convex boundary

Sidney Donato, Rafael Montezuma

In this paper, free boundary geodesic networks whose length realize the first min-max width of the length functional are investigated. This functional acts on the space of relative…

Morse inequalities for the area functional

Fernando C. Marques, Rafael Montezuma, André Neves

In this article we prove the strong Morse inequalities for the area functional in codimension one, assuming that the ambient dimension satisfies , in both th…

On free boundary minimal surfaces in the Riemannian Schwarzschild manifold

Rafael Montezuma

Is it possible to obtain unbounded minimal surfaces in certain asymptotically flat 3-manifolds as a limit of solutions to a natural mountain pass problem with diverging boundaries?…
