Using the fact that any minimal strongly regular surface carries locally canonical principal parameters, we obtain a canonical representation of these surfaces, which makes more precise the Weierstrass representation in canonical principal…

We consider a surface $M$ immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with induced metric $g=\psi\delta_2$ where $\delta_2$ is the two dimensional Euclidean metric. We then construct a system of partial differential equations that constrain $M$ to lift to a…

We introduce a square tiling/tetragonal strip representation to the P, D, and G triply periodic minimal surfaces. This approach is useful in identifying mixtures and grain boundaries of these surfaces that might be useful for material…

We construct new examples of immersed minimal surfaces with catenoid ends and finite total curvature, of both genus zero and higher genus. In the genus zero case, we classify all such surfaces with at most $2n+1$ ends, and with symmetry…

We study the problem of existence of geometric structures on compact complex surfaces that are related to split quaternions. These structures, called para-hypercomplex, para-hyperhermitian and para-hyperk\"ahler are analogs of the…

We suggest a new definition for discrete minimal surfaces in terms of sphere packings with orthogonally intersecting circles. These discrete minimal surfaces can be constructed from Schramm's circle patterns. We present a variational…

Quadrilateral layouts on surfaces are valuable in texture mapping, and essential in generation of quadrilateral meshes and in fitting splines. Previous work has characterized such layouts as a special metric on a surface or as a meromorphic…
