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 study minimal immersions of closed surfaces (of genus $g \ge 2$) in hyperbolic 3-manifolds, with prescribed data $(\sigma, t\alpha)$, where $\sigma$ is a conformal structure on a topological surface $S$, and $\alpha dz^2$ is a…

A classical theorem of Micallef says that if $F \colon (\Sigma, g) \to \mathbb{R}^4$ is a stable minimal immersion of an oriented $2$-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold (that is parabolic) into $\mathbb{R}^4$, it is necessarily…

In this paper, we show that a complete embedded minimal surface in $\Real^3$ with finite topology and one end is conformal to a once-punctured compact Riemann surface. Moreover, using the conformality and embeddedness, we examine the…

This paper is the fourth in a series where we describe the space of all embedded minimal surfaces of fixed genus in a fixed (but arbitrary) closed 3-manifold. The key is to understand the structure of an embedded minimal disk in a ball in…

Motivated by the large ammount of results obtained for minimal and positive constant mean curvature surfaces in several ambient spaces, the aim of this paper is to obtain half-space theorems for properly immersed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$…

We show that for an immersed two-sided minimal surface in $R^3$, there is a lower bound on the index depending on the genus and number of ends. Using this, we show the nonexistence of an embedded minimal surface in $R^3$ of index $2$, as…

We show that immersed minimal surfaces of $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ with bounded curvature and proper self intersections are proper. We also show that the restriction of the immersing map to a wide component is always proper. When the immersing map…

We generalize the following result of White: Suppose $N$ is a compact, strictly convex domain in $\RR^3$ with smooth boundary. Let $\Sigma$ be a compact 2-manifold with boundary. Then a generic smooth curve $\Gamma\cong \partial\Sigma$ in…

We prove that, given a $C^2$ Riemannian metric $g$ on the $2$-dimensional disk $D_2$, any short $C^1$ immersion of $(D_2,g)$ into $\mathbb R^3$ can be uniformly approximated with $C^{1,\alpha}$ isometric immersions for any $\alpha <…
