Boundaries of prescribed mean curvature

The existence of a singular curve in R 2 is proven, whose curvature can be extended to an L 2 function. The curve is the boundary of a two dimensional set, minimizing the length plus the integral over the set of the extension of the curvature. The existence of such a curve was conjectured by E. De Giorgi, during a conference held in Trento in July 1992.

Boundary volume and length spectra of Riemannian manifolds: what the middle degree Hodge spectrum doesn't reveal

Carolyn S. Gordon, Juan Pablo Rossetti (2003)

Annales de l'Institut Fourier

Let M be a 2 m -dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We show that the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on m -forms does not determine whether the manifold has boundary, nor does it determine the lengths of the closed geodesics. Among the many examples are a projective space and a hemisphere that have the same Hodge spectrum on 1- forms, and hyperbolic surfaces, mutually isospectral on 1-forms, with different injectivity radii. The Hodge m -spectrum also does not distinguish orbifolds from manifolds....
