Rigidity and non-rigidity of the stable norm on

Fernando C. Marques, André Neves, Ao Sun

We show that the stable norm of flat metrics on is locally rigid if and locally rigid among metrics of the same volume if . We also sho…

Rigidity theorems for the area widths of Riemannian manifolds

Lucas Ambrozio, Fernando C. Marques, André Neves

The volume spectrum of a compact Riemannian manifold is a sequence of critical values for the area functional, defined in analogy with the Laplace spectrum by Gromov. In this paper…

Conformal currents and the entropy of negatively curved three-manifolds

Fernando C. Marques, André Neves

In this paper, we describe the intersection between geodesic and conformal currents on closed hyperbolic three-manifolds. We use this to prove some sharp bounds which involve the L…

Riemannian metrics on the sphere with Zoll families of minimal hypersurfaces

Lucas Ambrozio, Fernando C. Marques, André Neves

In this paper we construct smooth Riemannian metrics on the sphere which admit smooth Zoll families of minimal hypersurfaces. This generalizes a theorem of Guillemin for the case o…

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…

Counting minimal surfaces in negatively curved 3-manifolds

Danny Calegari, Fernando C. Marques, André Neves

We introduced an asymptotic quantity that counts area-minimizing surfaces in negatively curved closed 3-manifolds and show that quantity to only be minimized, among all metrics of…

Multiplicity one and strictly stable Allen-Cahn minimal hypersurfaces

Marco A. M. Guaraco, Fernando C. Marques, Andre Néves

We show that strictly stable components of Allen-Cahn minimal hypersurfaces always occur with multiplicity one. We also establish the uniqueness of solutions converging to nondegen…

Morse index of multiplicity one min-max minimal hypersurfaces

Fernando C. Marques, André Neves

In this paper, we prove that the Morse index of a multiplicity one, smooth, min-max minimal hypersurface is generically equal to the dimension of the homology class detected by the…

Equidistribution of minimal hypersurfaces for generic metrics

Fernando C. Marques, André Neves, Antoine Song

For almost all Riemannian metrics (in the Baire sense) on a closed manifold , , we prove that there is a sequence of closed, smooth, embedded…

Deforming 3-manifolds of bounded geometry and uniformly positive scalar curvature

Laurent Bessières, Gérard Besson, Sylvain Maillot +1

We prove that the moduli space of complete Riemannian metrics of bounded geometry and uniformly positive scalar curvature on an orientable 3-manifold is path-connected. This genera…

Weyl law for the volume spectrum

Yevgeny Liokumovich, Fernando C. Marques, André Neves

Given a Riemannian manifold with (possibly empty) boundary, we show that its volume spectrum satisfies a Weyl law that was conjectured by Gromov.

The catenoid estimate and its geometric applications

Daniel Ketover, Fernando C. Marques, André Neves

We prove a sharp area estimate for catenoids that allows us to rule out the phenomenon of multiplicity in min-max theory in several settings. We apply it to prove that i) the width…

Morse index and multiplicity of min-max minimal hypersurfaces

Fernando C. Marques, André Neves

The Min-max Theory for the area functional, started by Almgren in the early 1960s and greatly improved by Pitts in 1981, was left incomplete because it gave no Morse index estimate…

The Willmore conjecture

Fernando C. Marques, André Neves

The Willmore conjecture, proposed in 1965, concerns the quest to find the best torus of all. This problem has inspired a lot of mathematics over the years, helping bringing togethe…

Minimal surfaces - variational theory and applications

Fernando Coda Marques

Minimal surfaces are among the most natural objects in Differential Geometry, and have been studied for the past 250 years ever since the pioneering work of Lagrange. The subject i…

Existence of infinitely many minimal hypersurfaces in positive Ricci curvature

Fernando C. Marques, Andr'e Neves

In the early 1980s, S. T. Yau conjectured that any compact Riemannian three-manifold admits an infinite number of closed immersed minimal surfaces. We use min-max theory for the ar…
