We present a four parameter family of classical string solutions in AdS_3 x S^3, which end along a light-like tetragon at the boundary of AdS_3 and carry angular momentum along two cycles on the sphere. The string surfaces are space-like…

An approximation theorem for minimal surfaces by complete minimal surfaces of finite total curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is obtained. This Mergelyan type result can be extended to the family of complete minimal surfaces of weak finite total…

The conformal structure on minimal surfaces plays a key role in studying the properties of minimal surfaces. Here we extend the results of uniformization of surfaces with boundary to get the (weak) uniformization results for triple junction…

We compute the minimal area of a string worldsheet ending on two infinite periodic light-like Wilson lines in the AdS$_3$ boundary, which is dual to the first non-planar correction to the gluon scattering amplitude in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM at…

This paper further develops the Method of Matched Sections (MMS), a robust numerical framework for the solution of boundary value problems governed by partial differential equations. It demonstrates its unique applicability to the…

It is a well known phenomenon that many classical minimal surfaces in Euclidean space also exist with higher dihedral symmetry. More precisely, these surfaces are solutions to free boundary problems in a wedge bounded by two vertical planes…

We discuss timelike and spacelike minimal surfaces in $AdS_n$ using a Pohlmeyer type reduction. The differential equations for the reduced system are derived in a parallel treatment of both type of surfaces, with emphasis on their…

We continue our study, initiated in our earlier paper, of Riemann surfaces with constant curvature and isolated conic singularities. Using the machinery developed in that earlier paper of extended configuration families of simple divisors,…

We construct stationary perturbations of a specific minimal surface with a circle of triple junctions in $\mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^1$, that satisfy given boundary data.

In this paper we construct developable surface patches which are bounded by two rational or NURBS curves, though the resulting patch is not a rational or NURBS surface in general. This is accomplished by reparameterizing one of the boundary…

We construct many closed, embedded mean curvature self-shrinking surfaces $\Sigma_g^2\subseteq\mathbb{R}^3$ of high genus $g=2k$, $k\in \mathbb{N}$. Each of these shrinking solitons has isometry group equal to the dihedral group on $2g$…

The algebraic curve (finite-gap) classification of rotating string solutions was very important in the development of integrability through comparison with analogous structures at weak coupling. The classification was based on the analysis…

Wilson loops are calculated within the AdS/CFT correspondence by finding a classical solution to the string equations of motion in AdS_5 x S^5 and evaluating its action. An important fact is that this sigma-model used to evaluate the Wilson…

In this paper we prove that, given an open Riemann surface $M$ and an integer $n\ge 3$, the set of complete conformal minimal immersions $M\to\mathbb{R}^n$ with $\overline{X(M)}=\mathbb{R}^n$ forms a dense subset in the space of all…
