We establish curvature estimates and a convexity result for mean convex properly embedded $[\varphi,\vec{e}_{3}]$-minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$, i.e., $\varphi$-minimal surfaces when $\varphi$ depends only on the third coordinate of…

We investigate the close relationship between minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space and constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space. Just as in the case of minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space, the only complete connected…

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…

For any m > 0, we construct properly embedded minimal surfaces in H^2 x R with genus zero, infinitely many vertical planar ends and m limit ends. We also provide examples with an infinite countable number of limit ends. All these examples…

Given an arbitrary $C^\infty$ Riemannian manifold $M^n$, we consider the problem of introducing and constructing minimal hypersurfaces in $M\times\mathbb{R}$ which have the same fundamental properties of the standard helicoids and catenoids…

We prove that any non-simply connected planar domain can be properly and minimally embedded in H^2 x R. The examples that we produce are vertical bi-graphs, and they are obtained from the conjugate surface of a Jenkins-Serrin graph.

For a given simply connected Riemannian surface Sigma, we relate the problem of finding minimal isometric immersions of Sigma into S^2 x R or H^2 x R to a system of two partial differential equations on Sigma. We prove that a constant…

A classical result by Marston Morse asserts that on some ellipsoids of ${\mathbb R}^3$ there exists exactly 3 closed and simple geodesics. The goal of this presentation is to prove that this rigidity result does not extend to higher…

In a paper of Menasco and Reid, it is conjectured that there exist no hyperbolic knots in S^3 for which the complement contains a closed embedded totally geodesic surface. In this note, we show that one can get "as close as possible" to a…

In this paper, we use the conjugate surface construction to prove the existence of certain non-periodic symmetric immersed minimal surfaces. These surfaces have finite total curvature and embedded catenoid ends, and they have positive genus…

In the previous paper, the authors constructed a complete holomorphic immersion of the unit disk D into C^2 whose image is bounded. In this paper, we shall prove existence of complete holomorphic null immersions of Riemann surfaces with…

We prove a Ros-Rosenberg theorem in the setting of Special Weingarten surfaces. We show that a compact, connected, embedded, Special Weingarten surface in $\mathhb{R}^3$ with planar convex boundary is a topological disk under mild suitable…

We show that every bordered Riemann surface, $M$, with smooth boundary $bM$ admits a proper holomorphic map $M\to \Omega$ into any bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^n$, $n>1$, extending to a smooth map $f:\overline…

Consider a convex domain B of space. We prove that there exist complete minimal surfaces which are properly immersed in B. We also demonstrate that if D and D' are convex domains with D bounded and the closure of D contained in D' then any…

We present a new construction of embedded minimal surfaces in hyperbolic space with $3$ asymptotically totally geodesic ends and arbitrary finite genus.

Let $M_k$ be the complete, simply connected, Riemannian 2-manifold of constant curvature $k \le 0$. Let $E$ be a closed, simply connected subspace of $M_k$ with the property that every two points in $E$ is connected by a rectifiable path in…

This paper concerns the global theory of properly embedded spacelike surfaces in three-dimensional Minkowski space in relation to their Gaussian curvature. We prove that every regular domain which is not a wedge is uniquely foliated by…

We prove that for every nonnegative integer $g$, there exists a bound on the number of ends of a complete, embedded minimal surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of genus $g$ and finite topology. This bound on the finite number of ends when $M$ has…

Our main result asserts that for any given numbers C and D the class of simply connected closed smooth manifolds of dimension m<7 which admit a Riemannian metric with sectional curvature bounded in absolute value by C and diameter uniformly…

We construct families of embedded, singly periodic minimal surfaces of any genus $g$ in the quotient with any even number $2n>2$ of almost parallel Scherk ends. A surface in such a family looks like $n$ parallel planes connected by $n-1+g$…
