Abstract/Media

I will discuss two rigidity results for unbounded area-minimizing surfaces in manifolds of non-negative scalar curvature. First, I will explain the proof (with M. Eichmair) that an asymptotically flat three manifold with non-negative scalar curvature that contains an unbounded area-minimizing surface is must be flat. Then I will mention related work (with M. Eichmair and V. Moraru) concerning a splitting theorem for area-minimizing cylinders in three manifolds with non-negative scalar curvature.
