Building on work of Kapouleas and Yang, we construct sequences of minimal surfaces embedded in the round 3-sphere which converge to the Clifford torus counted with multiplicity two and have second fundamental form blowing up at every point…

The Clifford tori in the 3-sphere are a one-parameter family of flat, two-dimensional, constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces. This paper demonstrates that new, topologically non-trivial CMC surfaces resembling a pair of neighbouring…

We construct embedded closed minimal surfaces in the round three-sphere, resembling two parallel copies of the Clifford torus, joined by m^2 small catenoidal bridges symmetrically arranged along a square lattice of points on the torus.

Constrained Willmore surfaces are critical points of the Willmore functional under conformal variations. As shown in [5] one can associate to any conformally immersed constrained Willmore torus f a compact Riemann surface \Sigma, such that…

Constant mean curvature surfaces in $S^3$ can be studied via their associated family of flat connections. In the case of tori this approach has led to a deep understanding of the moduli space of all CMC tori. For compact CMC surfaces of…

In this paper we numerically construct CMC deformations of the Lawson minimal surfaces $\xi_{g,1}$ using a spectral curve and a DPW approach to CMC surfaces in spaceforms.

Let $M$ be a Riemannian 3-manifold of nonnegative Ricci curvature, Ric $\geq 0.$ We suppose that $M$ is conformally flat and simply connected or more generally that it admits a conformal immersion into the standard 3-sphere. Let $\Sigma$ be…

We map out the moduli space of Lawson symmetric constant mean curvature surfaces in the 3-sphere of genus $g>1$ by flowing numerically from Delaunay tori with even lobe count via the generalized Whitham flow.

Extending work of Kapouleas and Yang, for any integers $N \geq 2$, $k, \ell \geq 1$, and $m$ sufficiently large, we apply gluing methods to construct in the round $3$-sphere a closed embedded minimal surface that has genus $k\ell…

Minimal and CMC surfaces in $S^3$ can be treated via their associated family of flat $\SL(2,\C)$-connections. In this the paper we parametrize the moduli space of flat $\SL(2,\C)$-connections on the Lawson minimal surface of genus 2 which…

We start the investigation of immersions $\Psi$ of a simply connected domain $D$ into three dimensional Euclidean space $R^3$, which have constant mean curvature (CMC-immersions), and allow for a group of automorphisms of $D$ which leave…

We discover a family of closed, embedded minimal surfaces in the three-dimensional round sphere which includes new examples with low genus. The existence proof relies on an equivariant min-max procedure applied to a novel sweepout which is…

In this paper we make an analysis of self-similar solutions for the mean curvature flow (MCF) by surfaces of revolution and ruled surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. We prove that self-similar solutions of the MCF by non-cylindrival surfaces and…

We provide a characterization of the Clifford Torus in S3 via moving frames and contact structure equations. More precisely, we prove that minimal surfaces in S3 with constant contact angle must be the Clifford Torus. Some applications of…

Since constant mean curvature surfaces in 3-space are special cases of isothermic and constrained Willmore surfaces, they give rise to three, apriori distinct, integrable systems. We provide a comprehensive and unified view of these…

In this paper we introduce the notion of contact angle for an immersed surface in three dimensional sphere. We deduce formulas for the Laplacian and for the Gaussian curvature, and we classify minimal surfaces in $S^3$ with constant contact…

The study of minimal surfaces has a long history, due to the important applications. Given a fixed boundary, one wants to minimise the surface area: this can be used, for example, to minimise the area of the roof of a building. Similarly,…

We define a geometric flow that is designed to change surfaces of cylindrical type spanning two disjoint boundary curves into solutions of the Douglas-Plateau problem of finding minimal surfaces with given boundary curves. We prove that…

In this paper, we describe a family of embedded hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature (CMC) in the $(n+1)$-dimensional unit sphere. In the process, we provide evidence for new CMC embedded examples. In particular, for some examples…

In this survey, we discuss various aspects of the minimal surface equation in the three-sphere S^3. After recalling the basic definitions, we describe a family of immersed minimal tori with rotational symmetry. We then review the known…
