In this article, we study local holomorphic isometric embeddings from Bn into BN1 × · · · × BNm with respect to the normalized Bergman metrics up to conformal factors. Assume that each conformal factor is smooth Nash algebraic. Then each component of the map is a multi-valued holomorphic map between complex Euclidean spaces by the algebraic extension theorem derived along the lines of Mok, and Mok and Ng. Applying holomorphic continuation and analyzing real analytic subvarieties carefully, we show that each component is either a constant map or a proper holomorphic map between balls. Applying a linearity criterion of Huang, we conclude the total geodesy of non-constant components.

We prove a general maximum principle at infinity for properly immersed minimal surfaces with boundary in R^3. An important corollary of this maximum principle at infinity is the existence of a fixed sized regular neighborhood for any properly embedded minimal surface of bounded curvature.

We show that for every simple closed curve , the extremal length and the hyperbolic length of  are quasi-convex functions along any Teichm¨uller geodesic. As a corollary, we conclude that, in Teichm¨uller space equipped with the Teichm¨uller metric, balls are quasi-convex.

Let G be a torsion-free hyperbolic group and let n  6 be an integer. We prove that G is the fundamental group of a closed aspherical manifold if the boundary of G is homeomorphic to an (n − 1)-dimensional sphere.
