In hyperbolic 3-space $\mathbb{H}^3$ surfaces of constant mean curvature $H$ come in three types, corresponding to the cases $0 \leq H < 1$, $H = 1$, $H > 1$. Via the Lawson correspondence the latter two cases correspond to constant mean…

A new method is presented for solving the Gauss-Codazzi equations for a compact Riemann surface to be immersed in a 3-manifold of constant curvature. In the negative curvature case, the moduli for such embeddings are cohomology classes of…
