This paper develops new tools for understanding surfaces with more than one end (and usually, of infinite topology) which properly minimally embed into Euclidean three-space. On such a surface, the set of ends forms a compact Hausdorff…
Let $K$ be a number field. Let $S$ be a finite set of places of $K$ containing all the archimedean ones. Let $R_S$ be the ring of $S$-integers of $K$. In the present paper we consider endomorphisms of $\pro$ of degree 2, defined over $K$,…
We construct a complete embedded minimal surface with arbitrary genus in the doubled Schwarzschild 3-manifold. A classical desingularization method is used for the construction.
In this paper, we build properly embedded singly periodic minimal surfaces which have infinite total curvature in the quotient by the period. These surfaces are constructed by adding a handle to the toroidal half-plane layers defined by H.…
In this paper we construct an example of a complete immersed minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of genus one with two embedded catenoid-type ends, one Enneper-type end and total Gauss curvature $-16\pi.$ The proof of the existence of this…
Given a noncompact disconnected complete periodic curve $\Gamma$ with no self intersection in $\mathbb R^3$, it is proved that there exists a noncompact simply connected periodic minimal surface spanning $\Gamma$. As an application it is…
We construct 1-parameter families of non-periodic embedded minimal surfaces of infinite genus in $T \times \mathbb{R}$, where $T$ denotes a flat 2-tori. Each of our families converges to a foliation of $T \times \mathbb{R}$ by $T$. These…
For an embedded singly periodic minimal surface M with genus bigger than or equal to 4 and annular ends, some weak symmetry hypotheses imply its congruence with one of the Hoffman-Wohlgemuth examples. We give a very geometrical proof of…
We construct embedded minimal surfaces which are $n$-periodic in $\mathbb{R}^n$. They are new for codimension $n-2\ge 2$. We start with a Jordan curve of edges of the $n$-dimensional cube. It bounds a Plateau minimal disk which Schwarz…
We survey what is known about minimal surfaces in $\bold R^3 $ that are complete, embedded, and have finite total curvature. The only classically known examples of such surfaces were the plane and the catenoid. The discovery by Costa, early…
We develop Teichmuller theoretical methods to construct new minimal surfaces in $\BE^3$ by adding handles and planar ends to existing minimal surfaces in $\BE^3$. We exhibit this method on an interesting class of minimal surfaces which are…
In this article, we construct complete embedded constant mean curvature surfaces in $\mb{R}^3$ with freely prescribed genus and any number of ends greater than or equal to four. Heuristically, the surfaces are obtained by resolving finitely…
Given $I,B\in\mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$, we investigate the existence and geometry of complete finitely branched minimal surfaces $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with Morse index at most $I$ and total branching order at most $B$. Previous works of…
We find the first examples of triply periodic minimal surfaces of which the intrinsic symmetries are all of horizontal type.
The Weierstrass representation for minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ provides a flexible method for constructing minimal surfaces of arbitrary genus. The topological limitations of minimal surfaces interfere with this providing a more…
A non-square-tiled Veech surface has finitely many periodic points, i.e., points with finite orbit under the affine automorphism group. We present an algorithm that inputs a non-square-tiled Veech surface and outputs its set of periodic…
For each closed surface of genus $g\ge3$, we find a finite subcomplex of the separating curve complex that is rigid with respect to incidence-preserving maps.
For an immersed minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we show that there exists a lower bound on its Morse index that depends on the genus and number of ends, counting multiplicity. This improves, in several ways, an estimate we previously…
In this paper we show how to bypass the usual difficulties in the analysis of elliptic integrals that arise when solving period problems for minimal surfaces. The method consists of replacing period problems with ordinary Sturm-Liouville…
In this paper we describe the notion of an annular end of a Riemann surface being of finite type with respect to some harmonic function and prove some theoretical results relating the conformal structure of such an annular end to the level…
