We prove that a stable minimal hypersurface of an open ball which is immersed away from a closed (singular) set of finite codimension 2 Hausdorff measure and weakly close to a multiplicity 2 hyperplane must in the interior be the graph over the hyperplane of a 2-valued function satisfying a local C1, estimate. This regularity is optimal under our hypotheses. As a consequence, we also establish compactness of the class of stable minimal hypersur- faces of an open ball which have volume density ratios uniformly bounded by 3−δ for any fixed δ ∈ (0, 1) and interior singular sets of vanishing co-dimension 2 Hausdorff measure.

A discrete conformality for hyperbolic polyhedral surfaces is introduced in this paper. This discrete conformality is shown to be computable. It is proved that each hyperbolic polyhedral metric on a closed surface is discrete conformal to a unique hyperbolic polyhedral metric with a given discrete curvature satisfying Gauss-Bonnet formula. Furthermore, the hyperbolic polyhedral metric with given curvature can be obtained using a discrete Yamabe flow with surgery. In particular, each hyperbolic polyhedral metric on a closed surface with negative Euler characteristic is discrete conformal to a unique hyperbolic metric.

A discrete conformality for polyhedral metrics on surfaces is introduced in this paper. It is shown that each polyhedral metric on a compact surface is discrete conformal to a constant curvature polyhedral metric which is unique up to scaling. Furthermore, the constant curvature metric can be found using a finite dimensional variational principle.

Let $f$ be a smooth map between unit spheres of possibly different dimensions. We prove the global existence and convergence of the mean curvature flow of the graph of $f$ under various conditions. A corollary is that any area-decreasing map between unit spheres (of possibly different dimensions) is isotopic to a constant map.

We calculate the dimension of the locus of Jacobian elliptic surfaces over P1 with a given Picard number, in the corresponding moduli space.
