We study the minimal surface equation in the Heisenberg space, Nil_3. A geometric proof of non existence of minimal graphs over non convex, bounded and unbounded domains is achieved (our proof holds in the Euclidean space as well). We solve…

This paper is the first in a series where we attempt to give a complete description of the space of all embedded minimal surfaces of fixed genus in a fixed (but arbitrary) closed Riemannian 3-manifold. The key for understanding such…

Zero mean curvature surfaces in the simply isotropic 3-space $\mathbb{I}^3$ naturally appear as intermediate geometry between geometry of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{E}^3$ and that of maximal surfaces in $\mathbb{L}^3$. In this paper, we…

In this paper we investigate the intersection problem for $1$-surfaces immersed in a complete Riemannian three-manifold $P$ with Ricci curvature bounded from below by $-2$. We first prove a Frankel's type theorem for $1$-surfaces with…

Let $D$ be a regular strictly convex bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^3$, and consider a regular Jordan curve $\Gamma \subset \partial D$. Then, for each $\epsilon>0$, we obtain the existence of a complete proper minimal immersion…

We study a modified version of Lerman-Whitehouse Menger-like curvature defined for m+2 points in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. For 1 <= l <= m+2 and an m-dimensional subset S of R^n we also introduce global versions of this discrete…

We prove that every open Riemann surface $M$ is the complex structure of a complete surface of constant mean curvature 1 (CMC-1) in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. We go further and establish a jet interpolation theorem…

We investigate complete minimal submanifolds $f\colon M^3\to\Hy^n$ in hyperbolic space with index of relative nullity at least one at any point. The case when the ambient space is either the Euclidean space or the round sphere was already…

In the first part of this paper, we give a global description of simply connected maximal Lorentzian surfaces whose group of isometries is of dimension 1 (i.e. with a complete Killing field), in terms of a 1-dimensional generally…

In this paper we find, for any arbitrary finite topological type, a compact Riemann surface $\mathcal{M},$ an open domain $M\subset\mathcal{M}$ with the fixed topological type, and a conformal complete minimal immersion $X:M\to\R^3$ which…

Analytic continuation from $(3,1)$ signature Minkowski to $(2,2)$ signature Klein space has emerged as a useful tool for the understanding of scattering amplitudes and flat space holography. Under this continuation, past and future null…
