We study compact stable embedded minimal surfaces whose boundary is given by two collections of closed smooth Jordan curves in close planes of Euclidean 3-space. Our main result is a classification of these minimal surfaces, under certain…

In this paper we construct an example of a complete immersed minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of genus one with two embedded catenoid-type ends, one Enneper-type end and total Gauss curvature $-16\pi.$ The proof of the existence of this…

A bielliptic surface (or hyperelliptic surface) is a smooth surface with a numerically trivial canonical divisor such that the Albanese morphism is an elliptic fibration. In the first part of this paper, we study the structure of bielliptic…

We give a complete classification of Riemannian and Lorentzian surfaces of arbitrary codimension in a pseudo-sphere whose pseudo-spherical Gauss maps are of 1-type or, in particular, harmonic. In some cases a concrete global classification…

Let $S_{g}$ be a general prime K3 surface in $P^g$ of genus $g \geq 3$ or a general double cover of $P^2$ ramified along a sextic curve for $g = 2$ and $S = S_{i,g}$ its {\it i}-th Veronese embedding. In this article we compute the corank…

We study minimal Lagrangian surfaces in the complex hyperbolic quadric. We show that minimality of a Lagrangian surface is characterized by a loop of flat connections, which yields an associated $\mathbb S^1$-family of isometric…

We prove a general embedding theorem for Cohen--Macaulay curves (possibly nonreduced), and deduce a cheap proof of the standard results on pluricanonical embeddings of surfaces, assuming vanishing H^1(2K_X)=0.

This paper classifies surfaces of general type $S$ with $p_g=q=1$ having an involution $i$ such that $S/i$ has non-negative Kodaira dimension and that the bicanonical map of $S$ factors through the double cover induced by $i.$ It is shown…

A zigzag in a map (a $2$-cell embedding of a connected graph in a connected closed $2$-dimensional surface) is a cyclic sequence of edges satisfying the following conditions: 1) any two consecutive edges lie on the same face and have a…

We study properly embedded and immersed p(pseudohermitian)-minimal surfaces in the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group. From the recent work of Cheng, Hwang, Malchiodi, and Yang, we learn that such surfaces must be ruled surfaces. There are two…

We study some graphs associated to a surface, called k-multicurve graphs, which interpolate between the curve complex and the pants graph. Our main result is that, under certain conditions, simplicial embeddings between multicurve graphs…

We construct a complex algebraic surface with geometric genus $p_g=3$, irregularity $q=0$, self-intersection of the canonical divisor $K^2=24$ and canonical map of degree $24$ onto $\mathbb P^2$.

We construct three kinds of complete embedded minimal surfaces in $\Bbb H^2\times \Bbb R$. The first is a simply connected, singly periodic, infinite total curvature surface. The second is an annular finite total curvature surface. These…

Let M be a 3-manifold (possibly with boundary). We show that, for any positive integer g, there exists an open nonempty set of metrics on M for each of which there are stable compact embedded minimal surfaces of genus g with arbitrarily…

Rotary maps (orientably regular maps) are highly symmetric graph embeddings on orientable surfaces. This paper classifies all rotary maps whose underlying graphs are Praeger-Xu graphs, denoted $\operatorname{C}(p,r,s)$, for any odd prime…

We prove that the bicanonical system on a surface of general type with K^2=4 has no base components and describe clusters contracted by 4K_X for a numerical Godeaux surface and 3K_X for a numerical Campedelli surface.

We give new contributions to the existence problem of canonical surfaces of high degree. We construct several families (indeed, connected components of the moduli space) of surfaces $S$ of general type with $p_g=5,6$ whose canonical map has…

Rationally convex topological embeddings of compact surfaces (closed or with boundary) into $\mathbb{C}^2$ are constructed.

We construct a connected, irreducible component of the moduli space of minimal surfaces of general type with $p_g=q=2$ and $K^2=5$, which contains both examples given by Chen-Hacon and the first author. This component is generically smooth…

We analyze the embedding dimension of a normal weighted homogeneous surface singularity, and more generally, the Poincar\'e series of the minimal set of generators of the graded algebra of regular functions, provided that the link of the…
