Construction of Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces

Given a tiling $\mathcal{T}$ of the plane by straight edge polygons, which is invariant by two independent translations, we construct a family of embedded triply periodic minimal surfaces which desingularizes $\mathcal{T}\times\mathbb{R}$. For this purpose, inspired by the work of Martin Traizet, we open the nodes of singular Riemann surfaces to glue together simply periodic Karcher saddle towers, each placed at a vertex of the tiling in such a way that its wings go along the corresponding edges of the tiling ending at that vertex.
