Minimal surfaces with rapid area growth

Abstract

We give examples of proper minimal immersions in Euclidean space with very rapid area growth. The first is a proper embedding into R4\bf{R}^4 that yields a stable minimal surface, while the second is a proper immersion into R3\bf{R}^3. These results are motivated by [CM1] that shows that proper minimal submanifolds confined in space satisfy strong structural constraints.
