We use a Simons type equation in order to characterize complete non-minimal pmc surfaces with non-negative Gaussian curvature.

We explore the task of Canonical Surface Mapping (CSM). Specifically, given an image, we learn to map pixels on the object to their corresponding locations on an abstract 3D model of the category. But how do we learn such a mapping? A…

We study conformal metrics with prescribed Gaussian curvature on surfaces with conical singularities and geodesic boundary in supercritical regimes. Exploiting a variational argument, we derive a general existence result for surfaces with…

We construct three sequences of regular surfaces of general type with unbounded numerical invariants whose canonical map is 2-to-1 onto a canonically embedded surface. Only sporadic examples of surfaces with these properties were previously…

Let $\rho_\Sigma=h(|z|^2)$ be a metric in a Riemann surface $\Sigma$, where $h$ is a positive real function. Let $\mathcal H_{r_1}=\{w=f(z)\}$ be the family of univalent $\rho_\Sigma$ harmonic mapping of the Euclidean annulus…

Grafting is a surgery on Riemann surfaces introduced by Thurston which connects hyperbolic geometry and the theory of projective structures on surfaces. We will discuss the space of projective structures in terms of the Thurston's geometric…

We make observations about constant mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean 3-space and their dual surfaces, and the resulting pairs of surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space under the Lawson correspondence.

Let G be a n-dimensional Lie group (n>2) with a bi-invariant Riemannian metric. We prove that if a surface of constant Gaussian curvature in G can be expressed as the product of two curves, then it must be flat. In particular, we can…

To definite and compute differential invariants, like curvatures, for triangular meshes (or polyhedral surfaces) is a key problem in CAGD and the computer vision. The Gaussian curvature and the mean curvature are determined by the…

We study the canonical metric on a compact Riemann surface of genus at least two. While it is known that the canonical metric is of nonpositive curvature, we show that its Gaussian curvatures are not bounded away from zero nor negative…

Canonical principal parameters are introduced for surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$ without umbilical points. It is proved that in these parameters the surface is determined (up to position in space) by a pair of invariants satisfying a partial…

We derive a correspondence between (Lorentzian) harmonic maps into the pseudosphere $S_1^2$, with appropriate regularity conditions, and certain connection 1-forms. To these harmonic maps, we associate a representation of type Weierstrass,…

Under the assumption that the $\mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ sigma model is defined on the Riemann sphere and its action functional is finite, we derive surfaces induced by surfaces and we demonstrate that the stacked surfaces coincide with each…

We characterise the maps into the space of $2$-spheres in $S^n$ that are the conformal Gauss maps of conformal immersions of a surface. In particular, we give an invariant formulation and efficient proof of a characterisation, due to…

We define a Gauss map $\gamma:M\rightarrow\mathbb{S}^{6}$ of an oriented hypersurface $M$ of the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{7}$ and prove that $\gamma$ is harmonic if and only if $M$ has CMC. Results on the geometry and topology of CMC…

We apply the technique of jet differentials to establish a Gauss curvature estimate for an open Riemann surface $M$, equipped with a conformal metric induced from a nonconstant holomorphic map that is highly ramified over a generic…

The immersion of the string world sheet, regarded as a Riemann surface, in $R^3$ and $R^4$ is described by the generalized Gauss map. When the Gauss map is harmonic or equivalently for surfaces of constant mean curvature, we obtain…

Total five different types of translation surfaces, based upon planarity of translating curves and the absolute figure, arise in a Galilean 3-space. Excepting the type in which both of translating curves are non-planar we obtain these…

Invariant minimal surfaces in the real special linear group of degree 2 with canonical Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics are studied. Constant mean curvature surfaces with vertically harmonic Gau{\ss} map are classified.

In this manuscript we consider non-degenerate surfaces $\Sigma^2$ immersed in a 3-dimensional homogeneous space $\mathbb{L}^3(\kappa,\tau)$ endowed with two different metrics, the one induced by the Riemannian metric of…
