Timelike Minimal Surfaces via Loop Groups

This work consists of two parts. In Part I, we shall give a systematic study of Lorentz conformal structure from structural viewpoints. We study manifolds with split-complex structure. We apply general results on split-complex structure for the study of Lorentz surfaces.In Part II, we study the conformal realization of Lorentz surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space via conformal minimal immersions. We apply loop group theoretic Weierstrass-type representation of timelike constant mean curvature for timelike minimal surfaces. Classical integral representation formula for timelike minimal surfaces will be recovered from loop group theoretic viewpoint.     

Minimal Surfaces in a Cone

We prove the convex hull property for properly immersed minimal hypersurfaces in a cone of ⁿ . We deal with the existence of new barriers for the maximum principle application in noncompact truncated tetrahedral domains of ³, describing the space of such domainsadmitting barriers of this kind. Nonexistence results for nonflatminimal surfaces whose boundary lies in opposite faces of a tetrahedraldomain are obtained. Finally, new simple closed subsets of ³ whichhave the property of intersecting any properly immersed minimal surfaceare shown.     

Minimal Surfaces Obtained by Ribaucour Transformations

We consider Ribaucour transformations between minimal surfaces and we relate such transformations to generating planar embedded ends. Applying Ribaucour transformations to Enneper's surface and to the catenoid, we obtain new families of complete, minimal surfaces, of genus zero, immersed in R ³, with infinitely many embedded planar ends or with any finite number of such ends. Moreover, each surface has one or two nonplanar ends. A particular family is obtained from the catenoid, for each pair (n,m), nm, such that n m0 is an irreducible rational number. For any such pair, we get a 1-parameter family of finite total curvature, complete minimal surfaces with n+2 ends, n embedded planar ends and two nonplanar ends of geometric index m, whose total curvature is –4(n+m). The analytic interpretation of a Ribaucour transformation as a Bäcklund type transformation and a superposition formula for the nonlinear differential equation = e^-2 is included.

Littlewood Paley g-function on the Heisenberg Group

Intersections of intrinsic submanifolds in the Heisenberg group

In the first Heisenberg group, we show that the intersection of two intrinsic submanifolds with linearly independent horizontal normals locally coincides with the image of an injective continuous curve. The key tool is a chain rule that relies on a recent result by Dafermos.

Density Theorems for Complete Minimal Surfaces in {\mathbb{R}}^{3}

In this paper we have proved several approximation theorems for the family of minimal surfaces in that imply, among other things, that complete minimal surfaces are dense in the space of all minimal surfaces endowed with the topology of C ^k convergence on compact sets, for any . As a consequence of the above density result, we have been able to produce the first example of a complete proper minimal surface in with uncountably many ends.
