We prove that a connected properly immersed minimal surface in Euclidean 3-space with infinite symmetry group whose intersection with a ball of radius R is less than 2\piR^2 is a plane, a catenoid or a Scherk singly-periodic minimal…

We construct a complete, embedded minimal surface in euclidean 3-space which has unbounded Gaussian curvature. It has infinite genus, infinitely many catenoidal type ends and one limit end.

We employ min-max methods to construct uncountably many, geometrically distinct, properly embedded geodesic lines in any asymptotically conical surface of non-negative scalar curvature, a setting where minimization schemes are doomed to…

We construct two different families of properly Alexandrov-immersed surfaces in $\mathbb{H}^2\times \mathbb{R}$ with constant mean curvature $0<H\leq \frac 1 2$, genus one and $k\geq2$ ends ($k=2$ only for one of these families). These ends…

In this paper we prove that a complete minimal surface immersed in H^2xR, with finite total curvature and two ends, each one asymptotic to a vertical geodesic plane, must be a horizontal catenoid. Moreover, we give a geometric description…

In this paper we prove a general and sharp Asymptotic Theorem for minimal surfaces in $H^2\times R$. As a consequence, we prove that there is no properly immersed minimal surface whose asymptotic boundary $C$ is a Jordan curve homologous to…

It is known that a complete immersed minimal surface with finite total curvature in $\mathbb H^2\times\mathbb R$ is proper, has finite topology and each one of its ends is asymptotic to a geodesic polygon at infinity (Hauswirth and…
