The classification of doubly periodic minimal tori with parallel ends

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Let K\mathcal{K} be the space of properly embedded minimal tori in quotients of R3\R^3 by two independent translations, with any fixed (even) number of parallel ends. After an appropriate normalization, we prove that K\mathcal{K} is a 3-dimensional real analytic manifold that reduces to the finite coverings of the examples defined by Karcher, Meeks and Rosenberg in \cite{ka4,ka6,mr3}. The degenerate limits of surfaces in K\mathcal{K} are the catenoid, the helicoid and three 1-parameter families of surfaces: the simply and doubly periodic Scherk minimal surfaces and the Riemann minimal examples.
