We prove that if $f_g: (\Sigma,g) \rightarrow (\mb{S}^{2+p},\tg)$ is a smooth minimal isometric embedding of a Riemannian surface $(\Sigma,g)$, and $[0,1]\ni t \rightarrow g_t$ is a path of area preserving conformal deformations of $g$ on…

We study the asymptotic geometry of a family of conformally planar minimal surfaces with polynomial growth in the $\mathrm{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R})$-symmetric space. We describe a homeomomorphism between the "Hitchin component" of wild…

We prove a parametric h-principle for complete nonflat conformal minimal immersions of an open Riemann surface $M$ into $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$. It follows that the inclusion of the space of such immersions into the space of all nonflat…

We consider immersions of a Riemann surface into a manifold with $G_2$-holonomy and give criteria for them to be conformal and harmonic, in terms of an associated Gauss map.

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…
