    We give a classification of non-removable isolated singularities for real analytic solutions of the prescribed mean curvature equation in Minkowski 33-space

    Surfaces of constant curvature in R^3 with isolated singularities

    We prove that finite area isolated singularities of surfaces with constant positive curvature in R^3 are removable singularities, branch points or immersed conical singularities. We describe the space of immersed conical singularities of such surfaces in terms of the class of real analytic closed locally convex curves in the 2-sphere with admissible cusp singularities, characterizing when the singularity is actually embedded. In the global setting, we describe the space of peaked spheres in R^3, i.e. compact convex surfaces of constant positive curvature with a finite number of singularities, and give applications to harmonic maps and constant mean curvature surfaces.Comment: 28 page
