Differential geometry of surfaces

Constant-mean-curvature surface

In differential geometry, constant-mean-curvature (CMC) surfaces are surfaces with constant mean curvature. This includes minimal surfaces as a subset, but typically they are treated as special case. Note that these surfaces are generally different from constant Gaussian curvature surfaces, with the important exception of the sphere. (Wikipedia).

Geometric and algebraic aspects of space curves | Differential Geometry 20 | NJ Wildberger

A space curve has associated to it various interesting lines and planes at each point on it. The tangent vector determines a line, normal to that is the normal plane, while the span of adjacent normals (or equivalently the velocity and acceleration) is the osculating plane. In this lectur

Curvature of a Riemannian Manifold | Riemannian Geometry

In this lecture, we define the exponential mapping, the Riemannian curvature tensor, Ricci curvature tensor, and scalar curvature. The focus is on an intuitive explanation of the curvature tensors. The curvature tensor of a Riemannian metric is a very large stumbling block for many student

Liam Mazurowski - Recent developments in constant mean curvature hypersurfaces II

Continuing from the previous talk, we will first discuss two min-max theorems for constructing prescribed mean curvature hypersurfaces in non-compact spaces. The first concerns the existence of prescribed mean curvature hypersurfaces in Euclidean space, and the second concerns the existen
