Abstract

Given a function HC1(S2)\mathcal{H} \in C^1(\mathbb{S}^2), an H\mathcal{H}-surface Σ\Sigma is a surface in the Euclidean space R3\mathbb{R}^3 whose mean curvature HΣH_\Sigma satisfies HΣ=HηH_\Sigma = \mathcal{H} \circ \eta, where η\eta is the Gauss map of Σ\Sigma. The purpose of this paper is to use a phase space analysis to give some classification results for helicoidal H\mathcal{H}-surfaces, when H\mathcal{H} is rotationally symmetric, that is, Hη=hν\mathcal{H} \circ \eta = \mathfrak{h} \circ \nu, for some hC1([1,1])\mathfrak{h} \in C^1([-1,1]), where ν\nu is the angle function of the surface. We prove a classification theorem for the case where h(t)\mathfrak{h}(t) is even and increasing for t[0,1]t \in [0,1]. Finally, we provide examples of helicoidal H\mathcal{H}-surfaces in cases where h\mathfrak{h} vanishes at some point.
