In this paper we introduce the notion of contact angle for an immersed surface in three dimensional sphere. We deduce formulas for the Laplacian and for the Gaussian curvature, and we classify minimal surfaces in $S^3$ with constant contact…
We present a deformation for constant mean curvature tori in the 3-sphere. We show that the moduli space of equivariant constant mean curvature tori in the 3-sphere is connected, and we classify the minimal, the embedded, and the Alexandrov…
The reduced system in the problem of the inertial motion of a rigid body with a fixed point (the Euler case) is equivalent, by the Maupertuis principle, to some geodesic flow on the 2-sphere. We describe the phase topology of this case…
We prove that a constrained Willmore immersion of a 2-torus into the conformal 4-sphere is either of "finite type", that is, has a spectral curve of finite genus, or is of "holomorphic type" which means that it is super conformal or…
We define two transforms between minimal surfaces with non-circular ellipse of curvature in the 5-sphere, and show how this enables us to construct, from one such surface, a sequence of such surfaces. We also use the transforms to show how…
The classification of Willmore 2-spheres in the $n$-dimensional sphere $S^n$ is a long-standing problem, solved only when $n=3,4$ by Bryant, Ejiri, Musso and Montiel independently. In this paper we give a classification when $n=5$. There…
A peculiarity of the geometry of the euclidean 3-sphere $\S3$ is that it allows for the existence of compact without boundary minimally immersed surfaces. Despite a wealthy of examples of such surfaces, the only known tori minimally…
We give a complete topological classification of minimal surfaces in Euclidian three-space.
We obtain some equations for Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangian surfaces in CP^2 and give their particular solutions in the case of tori.
We show that any minimal torus in $S^3$ which is Alexandrov immersed must be rotationally symmetric. An analogous result holds for surfaces of constant mean curvature.
The study of minimal surfaces has a long history, due to the important applications. Given a fixed boundary, one wants to minimise the surface area: this can be used, for example, to minimise the area of the roof of a building. Similarly,…
We describe tools for the study of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$; some are classical (the Gauss maps) and some are newer (the link/braid/writhe at infinity). Then we look for complete proper non holomorphic minimal tori with total…
The normalized eigenvalues $\Lambda_i(M,g)$ of the Laplace-Beltrami operator can be considered as functionals on the space of all Riemannian metrics $g$ on a fixed surface $M$. In recent papers several explicit examples of extremal metrics…
The purpose of this article is three-fold. First, we apply a general theorem from our earlier work to produce many new minimal doublings of the Clifford Torus in the round three-sphere. This construction generalizes and unifies prior…
We prove that the four-dimensional round sphere contains a minimally embedded hypertorus, as well as infinitely many, pairwise non-isometric, immersed ones. Our analysis also yields infinitely many, pairwise non-isometric, minimally…
In 1985, Bryant stated that a flat $2$-torus admits a minimal isometric immersion into some round sphere if and only if a certain rationality condition is satisfied. We show that the rationality criterion is no longer a necessary, but a…
We introduce a class of minimal submanfolds $M^n$, $n\geq 3$, in spheres $\mathbb{S}^{n+2}$ that are ruled by totally geodesic spheres of dimension $n-2$. If simply-connected, such a submanifold admits a one-parameter associated family of…
The spinor representation is developed and used to investigate minimal surfaces in ${\bfR}^3$ with embedded planar ends. The moduli spaces of planar-ended minimal spheres and real projective planes are determined, and new families of…
Consider a domain D in R^3 which is convex (possibly all R^3) or which is smooth and bounded. Given any open surface M, we prove that there exists a complete, proper minimal immersion f : M --> D. Moreover, if D is smooth and bounded, then…
We discuss translation minimal surfaces, homothetical minimal surfaces, and separable minimal surfaces in the $3$-space with $2m$-norm.
