In this paper, we investigate the ruled surfaces generated by a straight line according to rotation minimizing frame (RMF). Using this frame of a straight line, we obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions when the ruled surface is…
We present methods to construct interesting surfaces of general type via $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing of a singular surface obtained from an elliptic surface. By applying our methods to special Enriques surfaces, we construct new…
The main goal of this paper is to investigate the minimal size of families of curves on surfaces with the following property: a family of simple closed curves $\Gamma$ on a surface realizes all types of pants decompositions if for any pants…
We prove a general fusion theorem for complete orientable minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite total curvature. As a consequence, complete orientable minimal surfaces of weak finite total curvature with exotic geometry are…
We calculate the minimal surface bounded by four-sided figures whose projection on a plane is a rectangle, starting with the bilinear interpolation and using, for smoothness, the Chebyshev polynomial expansion in our discretized numerical…
A product-quotient surface is the minimal resolution of the singularities of the quotient of a product of two curves by the action of a finite group acting separately on the two factors. We classify all minimal product-quotient surfaces of…
In this paper we compute the gonality and the dimension of the Brill-Noether loci $W^1_d(C)$ for curves in a non primitive linear system of a simple abelian surface, adapting vector bundles techniques \`a la Lazarsfeld originally introduced…
It is known that any periodic map of order $n$ on a closed oriented surface of genus $g$ can be equivariantly embedded into $S^m$ for some $m$. In the orientable and smooth category, we determine the smallest possible $m$ when $n\geq 3g$.…
The minimal surface equation $Q$ in the second order contact bundle of $R^3$, modulo translations, is provided with a complex structure and a canonical vector-valued holomorphic differential form $Omega$ on $Q\0$. The minimal surfaces $M$…
We classify cylindrical surfaces in the Euclidean space whose mean curvature is a $n$th-power of the distance to a reference plane. The generating curves of these surfaces, called $n$-elastic curves, have a variational characterization as…
Kuperberg [Algebr. Geom. Topol. 3 (2003) 587-591] has shown that a virtual knot corresponds (up to generalized Reidemeister moves) to a unique embedding in a thichened surface of minimal genus. If a virtual knot diagram is equivalent to a…
We develop Teichmuller theoretical methods to construct new minimal surfaces in $\BE^3$ by adding handles and planar ends to existing minimal surfaces in $\BE^3$. We exhibit this method on an interesting class of minimal surfaces which are…
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…
An interesting problem in classical differential geometry is to find methods to prove that two surfaces defined by different charts actually coincide up to position in space. In a previous paper we proposed a method in this direction for…
A suitable measure for the similarity of shapes represented by parameterized curves or surfaces is the Fr\'echet distance. Whereas efficient algorithms are known for computing the Fr\'echet distance of polygonal curves, the same problem for…
An efficient algorithm for computing the branching structure of a compact Riemann surface defined via an algebraic curve is presented. Generators of the fundamental group of the base of the ramified covering punctured at the discriminant…
Bonnet has characterized his surfaces by a geometric condition. What is done here is a characterization of the same surfaces by two analytic conditions: (i) the mean curvature $H$ of a surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ should admit a reduction to…
The main objective of this paper is to derive the Enneper-Weierstrass representation of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{E}^3$ using the soliton surface approach. We exploit the Bryant-type representation of conformally parametrized surfaces in…
General formulas for the construction of exact solutions of the equation of the minimal surface in $R^3$, which appears in various physical problems, have been derived by the Zakharov-Shabat "dressing" method. Particular examples are…
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…
