Abstract

Given a closed flat 3-torus NN, for each H>0H>0 and each non-negative integer gg, we obtain area estimates for closed surfaces with genus gg and constant mean curvature HH embedded in NN. This result contrasts with the theorem of Traizet [33], who proved that every flat 3-torus admits for every positive integer gg with g2g\neq 2, connected closed embedded minimal surfaces of genus gg with arbitrarily large area.
