Abstract

We construct non-zero constant mean curvature H surfaces in the product spaces S2×R\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R} and H2×R\mathbb{H}^2\times \mathbb{R} by using suitable conjugate Plateau constructions. The resulting surfaces are complete, have bounded height and are invariant under a discrete group of horizontal translations. In S2×R\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R} (for any H>0H > 0) or H2×R\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R} (for H>1/2H > 1/2), a 1-parameter family of unduloid-type surfaces is obtained, some of which are shown to be compact in S2×R\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}. Finally, in the case of H=1/2H = 1/2 in H2×R\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}, the constructed examples have the symmetries of a tessellation of H2\mathbb{H}^2 by regular polygons.
