  1. Abstract We introduce a family of functionals defined on the set of submanifolds of Cartan–Hadamard manifolds which generalize the Colding–Minicozzi entropy of submanifolds of Euclidean space.We show these functionals are monotone under mean curvature flow under natural conditions.As a consequence, we obtain sharp lower bounds on these entropies for certain closed hypersurfaces and observe a novel rigidity phenomenon.

  2. Abstract We study an analog in CR-geometry of the conformal volume of Li–Yau. In particular, to submanifolds of odd-dimensional spheres that are Legendrian or, more generally, horizontal with respect to the sphere’s standard CR-structure, we associate a quantity that is invariant under the CR-automorphisms of the sphere. We apply this concept to a corresponding notion of Willmore energy.

  3. Abstract We prove lower bounds on the density of regular minimal cones of dimension less than seven provided the complements of the cones are topologically nontrivial.

  4. Abstract We show certain rigidity for minimizers of generalized Colding–Minicozzi entropies. The proofs are elementary and work even in situations where the generalized entropies are not monotone along mean curvature flow.
