How is this product of tensors defined?
I am reading the paper “ The first eigenvalue of a small geodesic ball in a riemannian manifold”, by Karp and Pinsky, from where I took the following:
Here, $\Delta_{-2}$ denotes the usual Laplacian ...

Intersection of minimal and CMC surfaces
Let $(M,g)$ be a complete and oriented Riemannian 3-manifold without boundary. Given $\Sigma_1$ and $\Sigma_2$ closed surfaces embedded in $M$, where the former is minimal and the latter has CMC $H &...

A geometric rank of Riemannian manifolds
There are various ranks which have been assigned to a smooth manifold. The following ranks are two examples of such ranks:
The maximum number of global independent vector fields which can be defined ...

How do conformal maps affect curvature?
Let $(\overline{M}^{n+1}, \langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle)$ be a riemannian manifold with riemannian connection $\overline{\nabla}$ and consider $M^n \subset \overline{M}$ an orientable hypersurface with ...

Rigidity case of a geometric theorem for $3$-manifolds with boundary
Let $(M^3,g)$ be a compact Riemannian $3$-manifold with boundary. In a paper by L. Ambrozio, he considers the set $\mathcal{F}_M$ of all immersed disks in $M$ whose boundaries are curves in $\partial ...

Is every minimal graph smooth?
The following result was taken from the book of Gilbarg-Trudinger:
In particular, if the graph is minimal, then $u$ is smooth.
Now comes my question: does the same conclusion hold for graphs over ...
