We give a topological classification of Lawson's bipolar minimal surfaces corresponding to his $\xi$- and $\eta$-family. Therefrom we deduce upper as well as lower bounds on the area of these surfaces, and find that they are not embedded.
The first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a surface can be viewed as a functional on the space of Riemannian metrics of a given area. Critical points of this functional are called extremal metrics. The only known extremal metrics are a round…
