We show that every connected compact or bordered Riemann surface contains a Cantor set whose complement admits a complete conformal minimal immersion in $\mathbb R^3$ with bounded image. The analogous result holds for holomorphic immersions…

We prove that every open Riemann surface $M$ is the complex structure of a complete surface of constant mean curvature 1 (CMC-1) in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. We go further and establish a jet interpolation theorem…

We construct new examples of immersed minimal surfaces with catenoid ends and finite total curvature, of both genus zero and higher genus. In the genus zero case, we classify all such surfaces with at most $2n+1$ ends, and with symmetry…

In the ongoing programme to classify noncommutative projective surfaces (connected graded noetherian domains of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension three) a natural question is to determine the minimal models within any birational class. In this…

In this paper we extend Efimov's Theorem by proving that any complete surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with Gauss curvature bounded above by a negative constant outside a compact set has finite total curvature, finite area and is properly…

In this paper we prove that every open Riemann surface properly embeds in the Special Linear group $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ as a holomorphic Legendrian curve, where $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ is endowed with its standard contact structure. As a…

In this note, we prove a Schwarz-Pick type lemma for minimal maps between negatively curved Riemannian surfaces. More precisely, we prove that if $f:M \to N$ is a minimal map with bounded Jacobian between two complete negatively curved…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be an open Riemann surface. In this paper we prove that every continuous function $M \to \mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 3$, defined on a divergent Jordan arc $M \subset \mathcal{R}$ can be approximated in the Carleman sense by…

In this paper we show that the space of holomorphic immersions from any given open Riemann surface, $M$, into the Riemann sphere $\mathbb{CP}^1$ is weakly homotopy equivalent to the space of continuous maps from $M$ to the complement of the…

We generalize the following result of White: Suppose $N$ is a compact, strictly convex domain in $\RR^3$ with smooth boundary. Let $\Sigma$ be a compact 2-manifold with boundary. Then a generic smooth curve $\Gamma\cong \partial\Sigma$ in…

We show that the image of a nonconstant conformal harmonic map $\mathbb C\to \mathbb R^3$, not necessarily proper and possibly with branch points, intersects every properly embedded nonflat minimal surface of bounded curvature in $\mathbb…

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…

We prove that every bordered Riemann surface admits a complete proper holomorphic immersion into a ball of C^2, and a complete proper holomorphic embedding into a ball of C^3.

Let N be a complete, homogeneously regular Riemannian manifold of dimension greater than 2 and let M be a compact submanifold of N. Let $\Sigma$ be a compact orientable surface with boundary. We show that for any continuous $f: (\Sigma,…

We construct a parabolic entire minimal graph $S$ over a finite topology complete Riemannian surface $\Sigma$ of curvature $-1$ and infinite area (thus of non-parabolic conformal type). The vertical projection of this graph yields a…

Let $D$ be a regular strictly convex bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^3$, and consider a regular Jordan curve $\Gamma \subset \partial D$. Then, for each $\epsilon>0$, we obtain the existence of a complete proper minimal immersion…

In this paper, we show that if $R$ is a compact Riemann surface and $M=R\setminus\,\bigcup_i D_i$ is a domain in $R$ whose complement is a union of countably many pairwise disjoint smoothly bounded closed discs $D_i$, then $M$ is the…

We obtain a Runge approximation theorem for holomorphic Legendrian curves and immersions in the complex projective $3$-space $\mathbb{CP}^3$, both from open and compact Riemann surfaces, and we prove that the space of Legendrian immersions…

Given an open Riemann surface $M$, we show that the branch points and the complete ends of finite total curvature of a conformal minimal surface $M\to{\mathbb R}^n$, $n\ge 3$, can be removed by an isotopy through such surfaces. The…
