In this paper, we introduce two notions on a surface in a contact manifold. The first one is called degree of transversality (DOT) which measures the transversality between the tangent spaces of a surface and the contact planes. The second quantity, called curvature of transversality (COT), is designed to give a comparison principle for DOT along characteristic curves under bounds on COT. In particular, this gives estimates on lengths of characteristic curves assuming COT is bounded below by a positive constant. We show that surfaces with constant COT exist and we classify all graphs in the Heisenberg group with vanishing COT. This is accomplished by showing that the equation for graphs with zero COT can be decomposed into two first order PDEs, one of which is the backward invisicid Burgers equation. Finally we show that the p-minimal graph equation in the Heisenberg group also has such a decomposition. Moreover, we can use this decomposition to write down an explicit formula of a solution near a regular point.

A mixed type surface is a connected regular surface in a Lorentzian 3-manifold with non-empty spacelike and timelike point sets. The induced metric of a mixed type surface is a signature-changing metric, and their lightlike points may be regarded as
singular points of such metrics. In this paper, we investigate the behavior of Gaussian curvature at a non-degenerate lightlike point of a mixed type surface. To characterize the boundedness of Gaussian curvature at a non-degenerate lightlike points, we introduce several fundamental invariants along non-degenerate lightlike points, such as the lightlike singular curvature and the lightlike normal curvature. Moreover, using the results by Pelletier and Steller, we obtain the Gauss-Bonnet type formula for mixed type surfaces with bounded Gaussian curvature.
In this paper we consider a three dimensional Kropina space and obtain the partial differential equation that characterizes a minimal surfaces with the induced metric. Using this characterization equation we study various immersions of minimal surfac
es. In particular, we obtain the partial differential equation that characterizes the minimal translation surfaces and show that the plane is the only such surface.
Let $(M,g)$ be a complete three dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary $partial M$. Given smooth functions $K(x)>0$ and $c(x)$ defined on $M$ and $partial M$, respectively, it is natural to ask whether there exist metrics conformal to $g$ so t
hat under these new metrics, $K$ is the scalar curvature and $c$ is the boundary mean curvature. All such metrics can be described by a prescribing curvature equation with a boundary condition. With suitable assumptions on $K$,$c$ and $(M,g)$ we show that all the solutions of the equation can only blow up at finite points over each compact subset of $bar M$, some of them may appear on $partial M$. We describe the asymptotic behavior of the blowup solutions around each blowup point and derive an energy estimate as a consequence.
In this paper we consider the Matsumoto metric $F=frac{alpha^2}{alpha-beta}$, on the three dimensional real vector space and obtain the partial differential equations that characterize the minimal surfaces which are graphs of smooth functions and the
n we prove that plane is the only such surface. We also obtain the partial differential equation that characterizes the minimal translation surfaces and show that again plane is the only such surface.
We prove that under some assumptions on the mean curvature the set of umbilical points of an immersed surface in a $3$-dimensional space form has positive measure. In case of an immersed sphere our result can be seen as a generalization of the celebrated Hopf theorem.
