Complete minimal surfaces and harmonic functions

Differential Geometry 2009-10-23 v1

Abstract

We prove that for any open Riemann surface MM and any non constant harmonic function h:MR,h:M \to \mathbb{R}, there exists a complete conformal minimal immersion X:MR3X:M \to \mathbb{R}^3 whose third coordinate function coincides with h.h. As a consequence, complete minimal surfaces with arbitrary conformal structure and whose Gauss map misses two points are constructed.
