Compact Embedded Minimal Surfaces of Positive Genus Without Area Bounds

Let M ³ be a three-manifold (possibly with boundary). We will show that, for any positive integer , there exists an open nonempty set of metrics on M (in the C ²-topology on the space of metrics on M) for each of which there are compact embedded stable minimal surfaces of genus with arbitrarily large area. This extends a result of Colding and Minicozzi, who proved the case =1.     

单位球中的极小曲面

Let M be a closed surface with positive Gauss curvature minimally immersed in a standard Euclidean unit sphere S~n.In this paper,we choose a local orthonormal frame field on M,under which the shape operators have very convenient form.We also give some applications of this kind of frame field.     

A Note on Minimal Surfaces in Euclidean 3-Space

In this note, a construction of minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space is given. By using the product of Weierstrass data of two known minimal surfaces, one gets a new Weierstrass data and a corresponding minimal surface from the Weierstrass representation.     

具有特殊类型端口的极小曲面的构造

We proved that there exists a family of complete oriented minimal surfaces in R3 with finite total curvature-4nπ,each of which has 0 genus and two ends,and both of the ends have winding order n,where n ∈ N,and discussed the symmetric property for special parameters.     

Minimal Surfaces in a Sphere and the Ricci Condition

In this paper we deal with minimal surfaces in a sphere which are locally isometric to a minimal surface in S3. We prove that a minimal surface in a sphere is locally isometric to a minimal surface in S3 if the curvature ellipse has constant and positive eccentricity. Moreover, we prove the following rigidity result: a compact minimal surface M in Sm, m 6, cannot be locally isometric to a minimal surface in S3 unless M already lies in S3 or M is flat and lies in S5.     

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. This research is partially supported by MEC-FEDER Grant no. MTM2004 - 00160.     

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.     

Simply Connected Minimal Surfaces in R3 Transverse to Horizontal Planes

We consider simply connected minimal surfaces in Euclidean space and we give a characterisation of the helicoid.     

The Barrier Principle for Minimal Submanifolds of Arbitrary Codimension

We establish a barrier principle for minimal submanifolds of a Riemannianmanifold of arbitrary codimension. We construct examples of barriers fortwo-dimensional minimal surfaces in ⁿ, n 4, and apply these to deduceexistence as well as nonexistence theorems for Plateau's problem.     

开平面C上的亚纯函数与完备极小曲面的Gauss映射

设■:D→R~3确定了以等温参数表示的极小曲面M,其中D是全平面R~2的开子区域,那么极小曲面的Gauss映射g(z)是D上的亚纯函数.Xavier与Chao提出了一个尚未解决的问题:任意给定区域■上的亚纯函数g(z),它是否是某完备极小曲面的Gauss映射?本文证明了若开平面C上的亚纯函数g(z)的零点列或极点列的收敛指数小于1/2,则g(z)—定是某完备极小曲面的Gauss映射.

Uniqueness of Minimal Submanifolds in Euclidean Space

Let M be a properly immersed n-dimensional complete minimal submanifold in Euclidean space R^n+p of dimension n+p. Let A be the second fundamental form of the immersion, and r the extrinsic distance from the origin. Suppose M has one end and inf_t sup_r(x)>t r²(x) |A|²(x) < C(n,p), then M is an affine n-plane, where C(n,p) are constants given by C(n,1) = n – 1 and C(n,p) = (2/3)(n – 1) when p > 1.     

Uniqueness of Minimal Projections in Smooth Matrix Spaces

Let X=(M(n, m), ·), where · fulfills Condition 0.3 and W=M(n, 1)+M(1, m). A formula for a minimal projection from X onto W is given in (E. W. Cheney and W. A. Light, 1985, “Approximation Theory in Tensor Product Spaces,” Lecture Notes in Mathematics, Springer-Verlag, Berlin; E. J. Halton and W. A. Light, 1985, Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc.97, 127–136; and W. A. Light, 1986, Math. Z.191, 633–643). We will show that this projection is the unique minimal projection (see Theorem 2.1).

Minimal Surfaces in the Heisenberg Group

We investigate the minimal surface problem in the three dimensional Heisenberg group, H, equipped with its standard Carnot–Carathéodory metric. Using a particular surface measure, we characterize minimal surfaces in terms of a sub-elliptic partial differential equation and prove an existence result for the Plateau problem in this setting. Further, we provide a link between our minimal surfaces and Riemannian constant mean curvature surfaces in H equipped with different Riemannian metrics approximating the Carnot–Carathéodory metric. We generate a large library of examples of minimal surfaces and use these to show that the solution to the Dirichlet problem need not be unique. Moreover, we show that the minimal surfaces we construct are in fact X-minimal surfaces in the sense of Garofalo and Nhieu.
