Surfaces with harmonic inverse mean curvature in space forms

We define surfaces with harmonic inverse mean curvature in space forms and generalize a theorem due to Lawson by which surfaces of constant mean curvature in one space form isometrically correspond to those in another. We also obtain an immersion formula, which gives a deformation family for these surfaces.

The spaces of index one minimal surfaces and stable constant mean curvature surfaces embedded in flat three manifolds

It is proved that the spaces of index one minimal surfaces and stable constant mean curvature surfaces with genus greater than one in (non fixed) flat three manifolds are compact in a strong sense: given a sequence of any of the above surfaces we can extract a convergent subsequence of both the surfaces and the ambient manifolds in the topology. These limits preserve the topological type of the surfaces and the affine diffeomorphism class of the ambient manifolds. Some applications to the isoperimetric problem are given.

     

A Note on Doubly Connected Surfaces of Constant Mean Curvature with Prescribed Boundary

In this paper we prove the existence of a constant mean curvature surface spanning two given convex curves in parallel planes of ℝ³ under hypotheses relating the distance between the planes, the curvature of the curves and the mean curvature. It is also proved that the surface is a radial graph over a unit sphere.This author was partially Supported by Fapergs. Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000): 53A10, 53C42, 35J60     

Harmonic Gauss maps of submanifolds of arbitrary codimension of the Euclidean space and sphere and some applications

It is proven results about existence and nonexistence of unit normal sections of submanifolds of the Euclidean space and sphere, which associated Gauss maps, are harmonic. Some applications to constant mean curvature hypersurfaces of the sphere and to isoparametric submanifolds are obtained too.     

Translating Surfaces of the Non-parametric Mean Curvature Flow in Lorentz Manifold M2 × R*

In this paper, for the Lorentz manifold M² × R with M² a 2-dimensional complete surface with nonnegative Gaussian curvature, the authors investigate its spacelike graphs over compact, strictly convex domains in M² , which are evolving by the nonparametric mean curvature flow with prescribed contact angle boundary condition, and show that solutions converge to ones moving only by translation.     

Boundaries of Flat Compact Surfaces in 3-Space

This paper deals with the problem `which knots or links in3-space bound flat (immersed) compact surfaces?' In aforthcoming paper by the author, it is proven that any simple closedspace curve can be deformed until it bounds a flat orientable compact(Seifert) surface. The main results of this paper are that there existknots that do not bound any flat compact surfaces. The lower bound oftotal curvature of a knot bounding an orientable nonnegatively curvedcompact surface can, for varying knot types, be arbitrarily much greaterthan the infimum of curvature needed for the knot to have its knot type.The number of 3-singular points (points of zero curvatureor if not then of zero torsion) on the boundary of a flat immersedcompact surface is greater than or equal to twice the absolute value ofthe Euler characteristic of the surface. A set of necessary and, in aweakened sense, sufficient conditions for a knot or link to be what wecall a generic boundary of a flat immersed compact surface withoutplanar regions is given.

On the convergence of metric and geometric properties of polyhedral surfaces

We provide conditions for convergence of polyhedral surfaces and their discrete geometric properties to smooth surfaces embedded in Euclidean 3-space. Under the assumption of convergence of surfaces in Hausdorff distance, we show that convergence of the following properties are equivalent: surface normals, surface area, metric tensors, and Laplace–Beltrami operators. Additionally, we derive convergence of minimizing geodesics, mean curvature vectors, and solutions to the Dirichlet problem.

Construction of constant mean curvature <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-noids from holomorphic potentials

Using a Weierstrass type representation of constant mean curvature surfaces, we give a general method for constructing constant mean curvature n-noids (of genus 0) from holomorphic potentials, where n ≥ 3. The ends of these surfaces are embedded and asymptotically approach Delaunay surfaces, while the surfaces are in general not even almost embedded. In particular, a 3-parameter family of constant mean curvature trinoids is constructed. Part of this work was done, while the first named author held a Lehrstuhlvertretung at the University of Augsburg. He would like to thank the University of Augsburg for its hospitality. He would also like to acknowledge partial support by DFG-grant DO 776.

Parallel mean curvature biconservative surfaces in complex space forms

In this paper, we consider PMC surfaces in complex space forms, and study the interaction between the notions of PMC, totally real and biconservative. We first consider PMC surfaces in a non-flat complex space form and prove that they are biconservative if and only if totally real. Then, we find a Simons-type formula for a well-chosen vector field constructed from the mean curvature vector field and use it to prove a rigidity result for CMC biconservative surfaces in two-dimensional complex space forms. We prove then a reduction codimension result for PMC biconservative surfaces in non-flat complex space forms. We conclude by constructing examples of CMC non-PMC biconservative submanifolds from the Segre embedding and discuss when they are proper-biharmonic.     

Coarse classification of constant mean curvature cylinders

We give a coarse classification of constant mean curvature (CMC) immersions of cylinders into via the loop group method. Particularly for this purpose, we consider double loop groups and a new type of ``potentials' which are meromorphic 1-forms on Riemann surfaces.

Classification of Lagrangian Surfaces of Curvature e in Non-flat Lorentzian Complex Space Form M12（4ε）

It is well known that a totally geodesic Lagrangian surface in a Lorentzian complex space form M12（4ε） of constant holomorphic sectional curvature 4s is of constant curvature 6. A natural question is ＂Besides totally geodesic ones how many Lagrangian surfaces of constant curvature εin M12（46） are there？＂ In an earlier paper an answer to this question was obtained for the case e = 0 by Chen and Fastenakels. In this paper we provide the answer to this question for the case ε≠0. Our main result states that there exist thirty-five families of Lagrangian surfaces of curvature ε in M12（4ε） with ε ≠ 0. Conversely, every Lagrangian surface of curvature ε≠0 in M12（4ε） is locally congruent to one of the Lagrangian surfaces given by the thirty-five families.
