It is known since the work of Frankel that two compactly immersed minimal hypersurfaces in a manifold with positive Ricci curvature must have an intersection point. Several generalizations of this result can be found in the literature, for example in the works of Lawson, Petersen and Wilhelm, among others. In the special case of minimal hypersurfaces of $S^k$, we prove a stronger version of Frankel's theorem. Namely, we show that if two compact minimal hypersurfaces $M_1$, $M_2$ of $S^k$ and a…

Some Properties of the Intersection of Free Boundary Minimal Hypersurfaces in Euclidean Balls
• Mathematics
• 2021
In this work, we prove that any two free boundary minimal hypersurfaces in the unit Euclidean ball have an intersection point in any half-ball. This is a strong version of the Frankel property proved

In this survey, we discuss various aspects of the minimal surface equation in the three-sphere $$S^3$$. After recalling the basic definitions, we describe a family of immersed minimal tori with

We develop a general method to construct subsets of complete Riemannian manifolds that cannot contain images of non-constant harmonic maps from compact manifolds. We apply our method to the special

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional smooth oriented complete minimal hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with Euclidean volume growth. We show that if the image under the Gauss map of $M$ avoids some
A two-piece property for compact minimal surfaces in a three-sphere
We show that any 2-equator in a 3-sphere divides each embedded compact minimal surface in two connected pieces. We also shall see that closed regions in the sphere with mean convex boundary

Abstract In this paper we show that two minimal hypersurfaces in a manifold with positive Ricci curvature must intersect. This is then generalized to show that in manifolds with positive Ricci
Equivariant min-max theory
We develop an equivariant min-max theory as proposed by Pitts-Rubinstein in 1988 and then show that it can produce many of the known minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^3$ up to genus and symmetry group.

We show the regularity of, and derive a-priori estimates for (weakly) harmonic maps from a Riemannian manifold into a Euclidean sphere under the assumption that the image avoids some neighborhood of

Let λ 1 be the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a compact surface without boundary. We show that λ 1 = 2 on compact embedded minimal surfaces in S 3 which are invariant under a finite
