We decrease the $rms$ mean curvature and area of a variable surface with a fixed boundary by iterating a few times through a curvature-based variational algorithm. For a boundary with a known minimal surface, starting with a deliberately…
Minimal Surfaces in $S^3$ are shown to yield spinning membrane solutions in $AdS_4\times S^7$.
Boundary integrability provides rare analytic control over field theories with interfaces, from quantum impurity problems to open string dynamics. We propose an analytic approach for integrable boundaries in two-dimensional sigma-models…
For all open Riemann surface M and real number $\theta \in (0,\pi/4),$ we construct a conformal minimal immersion $X=(X_1,X_2,X_3):M \to \mathbb{R}^3$ such that $X_3+\tan(\theta) |X_1|:M \to \mathbb{R}$ is positive and proper. Furthermore,…
In this paper, continuing our previous work, we investigate the third gap problem in the Simon conjecture for closed minimal surfaces in the unit sphere. By developing refined third-order Simons-type integral identities and establishing new…
We describe typical degenerations of quadratic differentials thus describing ``generic cusps'' of the moduli space of meromorphic quadratic differentials with at most simple poles. The part of the boundary of the moduli space which does not…
Finite element approximations of minimal surface are not always precise. They can even sometimes completely collapse. In this paper, we provide a simple and inexpensive method, in terms of computational cost, to improve finite element…
Minimal surfaces in the Riemannian product of surfaces of constant curvature have been considered recently, particularly as these products arise as spaces of oriented geodesics of 3-dimensional space-forms. This papers considers more…
This paper develops new tools for understanding surfaces with more than one end (and usually, of infinite topology) which properly minimally embed into Euclidean three-space. On such a surface, the set of ends forms a compact Hausdorff…
In this paper we prove a local removable singularity theorem for certain minimal laminations with isolated singularities in a Riemannian three-manifold. This removable singularity theorem is the key result used in our proof that a complete,…
We develop an analytic theory of existence and regularity of surfaces (given by graphs) arising from the geometric minimization problem $$\min_{\mathcal{M}}\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathcal{M}}|\nabla_{\mathcal{M}}H|^2\,dA$$ where $\mathcal{M}$…
In this article, a new method for segmentation and restoration of images on two-dimensional surfaces is given. Active contour models for image segmentation are extended to images on surfaces. The evolving curves on the surfaces are…
In this article, we consider a modified version of minimal $L^2$ integrals on sublevel sets of plurisubharmonic functions related to modules at boundary points, and obtain a concavity property of the modified version. As an application, we…
In the past decades, the authors made some systematic research on global and local properties of Willmore surfaces in terms of the DPW method. In this note we give a survey, mainly including the basic framework of the DPW method for the…
We shed some light on the field theory interpretation of C-metric by investigating the minimal surfaces which are homologous to the given boundary regions. The accelerating black holes change the asymptotic structure of the space-time. We…
Given a sequence of properly embedded minimal surfaces in a $3$-manifold with local bounds on area and genus, we prove subsequential convergence, smooth away from a discrete set, to a smooth embedded limit surface, possibly with…
We calculate Wilson loops in lowest order of perturbation theory for triangular contours whose edges are circular arcs. Based on a suitable disentanglement of the relations between metrical and conformal parameters of the contours, the…
The nonlocal $s$-fractional minimal surface equation for $\Sigma= \partial E$ where $E$ is an open set in $R^N$ is given by $$ H_\Sigma^ s (p) := \int_{R^N} \frac {\chi_E(x) - \chi_{E^c}(x)} {|x-p|^{N+s}}\, dx \ =\ 0 \quad \text{for all }…
Given a compact closed subset $M$ of a line segment in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we construct a sequence of minimal surfaces $\Sigma_k$ embedded in a neighborhood $C$ of the line segment that converge smoothly to a limit lamination of $C$ away from…
We show that any open orientable surface S can be properly embedded in H^2xR as an area minimizing surface.
