Every visitor to the Alhambra of Granada is captivated by the beauty of the geometric decoration in the Nasrid Palaces, which are spread across floors, ceilings, windows, doors and walls. In this text, we aim to provide a brief introduction to the mathematical secrets that the artisans and artists likely employed, under modern point of views. We will review some Nasrid decorative elements, rosettes and realizations of plane crystallographic groups.

In this study, we deal with non-degenerate translators of the mean curvature flow in the well-known hyperbolic Einstein's static universe. We classify translators foliated by horospheres and rotationally invariant ones, both space-like and time-like. For space-like translators, we show a uniqueness theorem as well as a result to extend an isometry of the boundary of the domain to the whole translator, under simple conditions. As an application, we obtain a characterization of the the bowl when the boundary is a ball, and of certain translators foliated by horospheres whose boundary is a rectangle.

We generalise the notion of translating solitons in Generalised Robertson-Walker sapcetimes, which come equipped with a natural conformal Killing time-like vector field. We single out three one-parameter families of warping functions for which these objects exist, and we fully classify the corresponding Grim Reapers -- translation-invariant solitons -- for a large family of Riemannian fibres.

We study new examples of translating solitons of the mean curvature flow, especially in Minkowski space. We consider for this purpose manifolds admitting submersions and cohomegeneity one actions by isometries on suitable open subsets. This general setting also covers the classical Euclidean examples. As an application, we completely classify time-like, invariant translating solitons by rotations and boosts in Minkowski space.

We deal with solitons of the mean curvature flow. The definition of \textit{translating solitons on a light-like direction} in Minkowski 3-space is introduced. Firstly, we classify those which are graphical, \textit{translation surfaces}, obtaining space-like and time-like, entire and not entire, complete and incomplete examples. Among them, all our time-like examples are incomplete. The second family consists of those which are invariant by a 1-dimensional subgroup of parabolic motions, i.e, with light-like axis. The classification result implies that all examples of this second family have singularities.
