On complete embedded translating solitons of the mean curvature flow that are of finite genus

We desingularise the union of $3$ Grim paraboloids along Costa-Hoffman-Meeks surfaces in order to obtain what we believe to be the first examples in $\Bbb{R}^3$ of complete embedded translating solitons of the mean curvature flow of arbitrary non-trivial genus. This solves a problem posed by Mart\'in, Savas-Halilaj and Smoczyk.Comment: The presentation has been moderately redrafted and numerous typos have been corrected. Hopefully the paper is now considerably more accessible. Notation, terminology and conventions are described in detail in Appendix

Constant scalar curvature hypersurfaces in (3+1)(3+1)-dimensional GHMC Minkowski spacetimes

We prove that every $(3+1)$-dimensional flat GHMC Minkowski spacetime which is not a translation spacetime or a Misner spacetime carries a unique foliation by spacelike hypersurfaces of constant scalar curvature. In otherwords, we prove that every such spacetime carries a unique time function with isochrones of constant scalar curvature. Furthermore, this time function is a smooth submersion

Pointed k-surfaces

Following on from ``Hyperbolic Plateau problems'' (by the same author), we provide a complete geometric description of solutions to the Plateau problem $(S,\phi)$ when $S$ is a compact Riemann surface with a finite number of points removed
