Let f, g be two homotopic smooth embeddings of a closed surface in a closed oriented 5-dimensional manifold. We show that if f admits a common algebraic dual 3-sphere, or if the fundamental group of the ambient space is trivial, then f and…

In this thesis, we use normal surface theory to understand certain properties of minimal triangulations of compact orientable 3-manifolds. We describe the collapsing process of normal 2-spheres and disks. Using some geometrical…

Consider a strictly convex bounded regular domain $C$ of $\R^3$. For any arbitrary finite topological type we find a compact Riemann surface $\mathcal{M}$, an open domain $M\subset \mathcal{M}$ with the fixed topological type, and a…

We construct minimal surfaces in hyperbolic and anti-de Sitter 3-space with the topology of a $n$-punctured sphere by loop group factorization methods. The end behavior of the surfaces is based on the asymptotics of Delaunay-type surfaces,…

Using discretized orthogonal systems (curvature line systems) with periodicity, created using Darboux transformations and their permutability, we have discrete and semi-discrete k-dimensional isothermic tori which are full in n-dimensional…

We study compact minimal surfaces in the 3-sphere which are constructed by successive reflections from a minimal $n$-gon -- so-called minimal reflection surfaces. The minimal $n$-gon solves a free boundary problem in a fundamental piece of…

We construct a complete, embedded minimal surface in euclidean 3-space which has unbounded Gaussian curvature. It has infinite genus, infinitely many catenoidal type ends and one limit end.

For fixed large genus, we construct families of complete immersed minimal surfaces in R3 with four ends and dihedral symmetries. The families exist for all large genus and at an appropriate scale degenerate to the plane.

The goal of this article is to establish estimates involving the Yamabe minimal volume, mixed minimal volume and some topological invariants on compact 4-manifolds. In addition, we provide topological sphere theorems for compact…

We formulate a class of minimal tori in S^3 in terms of classical mechanics, reveal a curious property of the Clifford torus, and note that the question of periodicity can be made more explicit in a simple way.

We recall a construction of non-commutative algebras related to a one-parameter family of (deformed) spheres and tori, and show that in the case of tori, the *-algebras can be completed into C*-algebras isomorphic to the standard…

In this article we present an elementary introduction to the theory of minimal surfaces in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb R^n$ for $n\ge 3$ by using only elementary calculus of functions of several variables at the level of a typical second-year…

Some classification results for closed surfaces in Berger spheres are presented. On the one hand, a Willmore functional for isometrically immersed surfaces into an homogeneous space $\mathbb{E}^{3}(\kappa,\tau)$ with isometry group of…

The author proves that there is an open non empty set of metrics on any 3-manifold such that there exists a family of stably embedded minimal 2-spheres whose area is unbounded. This generalizes the work of T. Colding and W. Minicozzi who…

We produce a family of bodies in $\mathbb R^3$ parameterized by $\varepsilon > 0$, each bounded by a smooth topological sphere with principal curvatures in $[-1, 1]$, and having volume arbitrarily close to $ 16 - 4\sqrt 3 + \left(10 \sqrt 3…

A classification of 2-dimensional surfaces imbedded in spacetime is presented, according to the algebraic properties of their shape tensor. The classification has five levels, and provides among other things a refinement of the concepts of…

We consider the family of the Bour's minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space, and compute their classes, degrees and integral free representations.

We give a topological classification of Lawson's bipolar minimal surfaces corresponding to his $\xi$- and $\eta$-family. Therefrom we deduce upper as well as lower bounds on the area of these surfaces, and find that they are not embedded.

We show that every connected compact or bordered Riemann surface contains a Cantor set whose complement admits a complete conformal minimal immersion in $\mathbb R^3$ with bounded image. The analogous result holds for holomorphic immersions…

We classify the topological types of surfaces in the 3-dimensional unit sphere that contain both a great and a small circle through each point. In particular, these surfaces are homeomorphic to one of five normal forms and are either the…
