Existence of isotopy preserving the action
Let $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ be simple closed curves in $R^4.$ Let $\lambda= x_1 dy_1+ x_2dy_2.$ Suppose that $\int_{\gamma_1} \lambda= \int_{\gamma_2} \lambda.$
I am looking for a reference for …

Topology of surfaces and mean curvature
The Gauss-Bonnet theorem characterizes the topology of surfaces by means of their Gaussian curvature.
Do there exist results characterizing the topology of surfaces embedded in $\mathbf{R}^3$ via th …

Morse theory in infinite dimensions
It seems that people often talk of "doing Morse theory" on loop spaces in two quite different contexts.
Case 1: When one does Morse theory on a loop space $\Omega(M; p,q)$ using the energy functiona …

Topological restrictions from mean curvature bounds
Alexandrov's Theorem says that a compact constant mean curvature hypersurface embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ must be a round sphere.
What happens when the mean curvature is small, or bounded? (For in …
