Boundary behaviour of stable Allen-Cahn limit-interfaces in Riemannian manifolds

Martin Man-chun Li, Davide Parise, Lorenzo Sarnataro

This is the second paper in our series of works to develop the min-max theory for free boundary minimal hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds with boundary via the Allen-Cahn equat…

Boundary behavior of limit-interfaces for the Allen-Cahn equation on Riemannian manifolds with Neumann boundary condition

Martin Li, Davide Parise, Lorenzo Sarnataro

We study the boundary behavior of any limit-interface arising from a sequence of general critical points of the Allen-Cahn energy functionals on a smooth bounded domain. Given any…

Contracting convex surfaces by mean curvature flow with free boundary on convex barriers

Sven Hirsch, Martin Li

We consider the mean curvature flow of compact convex surfaces in Euclidean -space with free boundary lying on an arbitrary convex barrier surface with bounded geometry. When th…

Free Boundary Minimal Surfaces in the Unit Three-Ball via Desingularization of the Critical Catenoid and the Equatorial Disk

Nikolaos Kapouleas, Martin Man-chun Li

We construct a new family of high genus examples of free boundary minimal surfaces in the Euclidean unit 3-ball by desingularizing the intersection of a coaxial pair of a critical…

A maximum principle for free boundary minimal varieties of arbitrary codimension

Martin Li, Xin Zhou

We establish a boundary maximum principle for free boundary minimal submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold with boundary, in any dimension and codimension. Our result holds more gen…

Chord Shortening Flow and a Theorem of Lusternik and Schnirelmann

Martin Li

We introduce a new geometric flow called the chord shortening flow which is the negative gradient flow for the length functional on the space of chords with end points lying on a f…

Min-max theory for free boundary minimal hypersurfaces I - regularity theory

Martin Li, Xin Zhou

In 1960s, Almgren initiated a program to find minimal hypersurfaces in compact manifolds using min-max method. This program was largely advanced by Pitts and Schoen-Simon in 1980s…
