We prove existence and uniqueness for a two-parameter family of translators for mean curvature flow. We get additional examples by taking limits at the boundary of the parameter space. Some of the translators resemble well-known minimal surfaces (Scherk's doubly periodic minimal surfaces, helicoids), but others have no minimal surface analogs.

One of the fundamental questions in CR geometry is: Given two strongly pseudoconvex CR manifolds X1 and X2 of dimension 2n−1, is there a non-constant CR morphism between them? In this paper, we use Kohn-Rossi cohomology to show the non-existence of non-constant CR morphism between such two CR manifolds. Specifically, if dimH KR(X1) < dimH p,q KR(X2) for any (p, q) with 1 ≤ q ≤ n− 2, then there is no non-constant CR morphism from X1 to X2.

In this paper, we show that a closed manifold $M^{n+1} (ngeq 7)$ endowed with a $C^infty$-generic (Baire sense) metric contains infinitely many singular minimal hypersurfaces with optimal regularity.

Let $N$ be a smooth manifold that is homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to a closed hyperbolic manifold $M$. In this paper, we study the extent to which $N$ admits as much symmetry as $M$. Our main results are examples of $N$ that exhibit two extremes of behavior. On the one hand, we find $N$ with maximal symmetry, i.e. Isom($M$) acts on $N$ by isometries with respect to some negatively curved metric on $N$. For these examples, Isom($M$) can be made arbitrarily large. On the other hand, we find $N$ with little symmetry, i.e. no subgroup of Isom($M$) of "small" index acts by diffeomorphisms of $N$. The construction of these examples incorporates a variety of techniques including smoothing theory and the Belolipetsky-Lubotzky method for constructing hyperbolic manifolds with a prescribed isometry group.

We show that if the variety of minimal rational tangents (VMRT) of a uniruled projective manifold at a general point is projectively equivalent to that of a symplectic or an odd-symplectic Grassmannian, the germ of a general minimal rational curve is biholomorphic to the germ of a general line in a presymplectic Grassmannian. As an application, we characterize symplectic and odd-symplectic Grassmannians, among Fano manifolds of Picard number 1, by their VMRT at a general point and prove their rigidity under global K"ahler deformation. Analogous results for $G/P$ associated with a long root were obtained by Mok and Hong-Hwang a decade ago by using Tanaka theory for parabolic geometries. When $G/P$ is associated with a short root, for which symplectic Grassmannians are most prominent examples, the associated local differential geometric structure is no longer a parabolic geometry and standard machinery of Tanaka theory cannot be applied because of several degenerate features. To overcome the difficulty, we show that Tanaka's method can be generalized to a setting much broader than parabolic geometries, by assuming a pseudo-concavity type condition that certain vector bundles arising from Spencer complexes have no nonzero sections. The pseudo-concavity type condition is checked by exploiting geometry of minimal rational curves.

As the first step of proving the Hodge-FVH correspondence recently proposed in [17], we derive the Virasoro constraints and the Dubrovin-Zhang loop equation for special cubic Hodge integrals. We show that this loop equation has a unique solution, and provide a new algorithm for the computation of these Hodge integrals. We also prove the existence of gap phenomenon for the special cubic Hodge free energies.

In this paper we first introduce quermassintegrals for free boundary hypersurfaces in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean unit ball. Then we solve some related isoperimetric type problems for convex free boundary hypersurfaces, which lead to new Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities. In particular, for $n=2$ we obtain a Minkowski-type inequality and for $n=3$ we obtain an optimal Willmore-type inequality. To prove these estimates, we employ a specifically designed locally constrained inverse harmonic mean curvature flow with free boundary.

Recently, Huang, Lutwak, Yang & Zhang discovered the duals of Federer’s curvature measures within the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory and stated the “Minkowski problem” associated with these new measures. As they showed, this dual Minkowski problem has as special cases the Aleksandrov problem (when the index is 0) and the logarithmic Minkowski problem (when the index is the dimension of the ambient space) — two problems that were never imagined to be connected in any way. Huang, Lutwak, Yang & Zhang established sufficient conditions to guarantee existence of solution to the dual Minkowski problem in the even setting. In this work, existence of solution to the even dual Minkowski problem is established under new sufficiency conditions. It was recently shown by Böröczky, Henk & Pollehn that these new sufficiency conditions are also necessary.

In this paper we prove that the generic singularity of mean curvature flow of closed embedded surfaces in $mathbb R^3$ modelled by closed self-shrinkers with multiplicity has multiplicity one. Together with the previous result by Colding-Minicozzi in [CM12], we conclude that the only generic singularity of mean curvature flow of closed embedded surfaces in $mathbb R^3$ modelled by closed self-shrinkers is a multiplicity one sphere. We also construct particular perturbation of the flow to avoid those singularities with multiplicity higher than one. Our result partially addresses the well-known multiplicity one conjecture by Ilmanen.

One of the main purposes of this paper is to give a detailed proof of the gluing theorem for the relative invariants.
