Let M be a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold that contains a closed immersed totally geodesic surface Σ. Then if g is a Riemannian metric on M with scalar curvature greater than or equal to −6, we show that the area in g of any surface homotopic to Σ is greater than or equal to the area of Σ in the hyperbolic metric, with equality only if g is isometric to the hyperbolic metric. We also consider a functional introduced by Calegari-MarquesNeves that is defined by an asymptotic count of minimal…

MINIMAL SURFACE ENTROPY OF NEGATIVELY CURVED MANIFOLDS
In this paper we discuss the minimal surface entropy introduced recently by the authors and propose a conjecture.

Rigidity of Area-Minimizing Hyperbolic Surfaces in Three-Manifolds
We prove that if M is a three-manifold with scalar curvature greater than or equal to −2 and Σ⊂M is a two-sided compact embedded Riemann surface of genus greater than 1 which is locally…
Area‐minimizing projective planes in 3‐manifolds
Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension 3, and let ℱ denote the collection of all embedded surfaces homeomorphic to \input amssym ${\Bbb R}{ \Bbb P}^2$. We study the infimum of the…
Deforming metrics in the direction of their Ricci tensors
In [4], R. Hamilton has proved that if a compact manifold M of dimension three admits a C Riemannian metric g0 with positive Ricci curvature, then it also admits a metric g with constant positive…
Volumes of balls in large Riemannian manifolds
We prove two lower bounds for the volumes of balls in a Riemannian manifold. If (M n ;g) is a complete Riemannian manifold with lling radius at least R, then it contains a ball of radius R and volume…
Minimal discs in hyperbolic space bounded by a quasicircle at infinity
We prove that the supremum of principal curvatures of a minimal embedded disc in hyperbolic three-space spanning a quasicircle in the boundary at infinity is estimated in a sublinear way by the norm…

E. Calabi and J. Cao showed that a closed geodesic of least length in a two-sphere with nonnegative curvature is always simple. Using min-max theory, we prove that for some higher dimensions, this…
On Area Comparison and Rigidity Involving the Scalar Curvature
We prove a splitting theorem for Riemannian $$n$$n-manifolds with scalar curvature bounded below and containing certain area-minimizing hypersurfaces (Theorem 3). The theorem will follow from an area…
Asymptotic stability of the cross curvature flow at a hyperbolic metric
We show that for any hyperbolic metric on a closed 3-manifold, there exists a neighborhood such that every solution of a normalized cross curvature flow with initial data in this neighborhood exists…
The entropy formula for the Ricci flow and its geometric applications
We present a monotonic expression for the Ricci flow, valid in all dimensions and without curvature assumptions. It is interpreted as an entropy for a certain canonical ensemble. Several geometric…
Dihedral Rigidity of Parabolic Polyhedrons in Hyperbolic Spaces
In this note, we establish the dihedral rigidity phenomenon for a collection of parabolic polyhedrons enclosed by horospheres in hyperbolic manifolds, extending Gromov's comparison theory to metrics…
