In a recent paper Jorge and Mercuri proved that the image of Gauss map of a complete non flat minimal surfaces in R3 with finite total curvature omits at most 2 points. In this work we follow their idea and prove 3a similar result for CMC-1…

We prove the existence of compact surfaces with prescribed constant mean curvature in asymptotically flat and asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. More precisely, let $(M^3,g)$ be an asymptotically flat manifold with scalar curvature $R\ge…

The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we generalize the definition of discrete isothermic surfaces. Compared with the previous ones, it covers more discrete surfaces, e.g., the associated families of discrete isothermic minimal…

Given a complete Riemannian metric of nonnegative scalar curvature on $\Sigma \times (-\infty, 0 ] $, where $\Sigma$ denotes a $2$-sphere, we exhibit conditions that imply the existence of a closed minimal surface homologous to the…

We show that closed hypersurfaces in Euclidean space with nonnegative scalar curvature are weakly mean convex. In contrast, the statement is no longer true if the scalar curvature is replaced by the k-th mean curvature, for k greater than…

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.

It is well-known that for a surface in a 3-dimensional real space form the constancy of the mean curvature is equivalent to the harmonicity of the Gauss map. However, this is not true in general for surfaces in an arbitrary 3-dimensional…

In this paper we study curvature types of immersed surfaces in three-dimensional (normed or) Minkowski spaces. By endowing the surface with a normal vector field, which is a transversal vector field given by the ambient Birkhoff…

A semi-global isometric embedding of abstract surfaces with Gaussian curvature changing signs of any finite order is obtained through solving the Darboux equation.

Discrete forms of the mean and directed curvature are constructed on piecewise flat manifolds, providing local curvature approximations for smooth manifolds embedded in both Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces. The resulting expressions take…

We apply the complex analysis over the double numbers $D$ to study the minimal time-like surfaces in $R^4_2$. A minimal time-like surface which is free of degenerate points is said to be of general type. We divide the minimal time-like…

We give an explicit formula for singular surfaces of revolution with prescribed unbounded mean curvature. Using it, we give conditions for singularities of that surfaces. Periodicity of that surface is also discussed.

We construct and investigate smooth orientable surfaces in su(N) algebras. The structural equations of surfaces associated with Grassmannian sigma models on Minkowski space are studied using moving frames adapted to the surfaces. The first…

Two holomorphic Hopf differentials for surfaces of non-null parallel mean curvature vector in S^2xS^2 and H^2xH^2 are constructed. A 1:1 correspondence between these surfaces and pairs of constant mean curvature surfaces of S^2xR and H^2xR…

We construct non-zero constant mean curvature H surfaces in the product spaces $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{H}^2\times \mathbb{R}$ by using suitable conjugate Plateau constructions. The resulting surfaces are complete, have…

This preliminary report studies immersed surfaces of constant mean curvature in $H^3$ through their {\it adjusted Gauss maps} (as harmonic maps in $S^2$) and their {\it adjusted frames} in SU(2). Lawson's correspondence between Euclidean…

Consider the Lorentz-Minkowski $3$-space $\mathbb{L}^3$ with the metric $dx^2+dy^2-dz^2$ in canonical coordinates $(x,y,z)$. A surface in $\mathbb{L}^3$ is said to be separable if satisfies an equation of the form $f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0$ for…

Let $ X $ be a closed, oriented Riemannian manifold. Denote by $ (M = X \times I, \partial M = X \times \lbrace 0 \rbrace \cup X \times \lbrace 1 \rbrace, g) $ a compact cylinder with smooth boundary, $ \dim M \geqslant 3 $. In this…

We consider a special class of timelike surfaces in the four-dimensional Minkowski space which are one-parameter systems of meridians of rotational hypersurfaces with spacelike axis and call them meridian surfaces of hyperbolic type. We…

We present a unified method of construction of surfaces associated with Grassmannian sigma models, expressed in terms of an orthogonal projector. This description leads to compact formulae for structural equations of two-dimensional…
