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…
We establish a nice orthonormal frame field on a closed surface minimally immersed in a unit sphere $S^{n}$, under which the shape operators take very simple forms. Using this frame field, we obtain an interesting property $K+K^{N}=1$ for…
In this paper we study constant positive Gauss curvature $K$ surfaces in the 3-sphere $S^3$ with $0<K<1$ as well as constant negative curvature surfaces. We show that the so-called normal Gauss map for a surface in $S^3$ with Gauss…
We consider a general theory of curvatures of discrete surfaces equipped with edgewise parallel Gauss images, and where mean and Gaussian curvatures of faces are derived from the faces' areas and mixed areas. Remarkably these notions are…
Building on work of Kapouleas and Yang, we construct sequences of minimal surfaces embedded in the round 3-sphere which converge to the Clifford torus counted with multiplicity two and have second fundamental form blowing up at every point…
In this paper, we propose certain assumptions on the principal curvatures for a closed minimal hypersurface $M^5$ in $\mathbf{S}^6$ to be isoparametric, provided that the functions $S, f_3,f_4$ are constants. Our result removes the…
For an oriented isometric immersion $f:M\to S^n$ the spherical Gauss map is the Legendrian immersion of its unit normal bundle $UM^\perp$ into the unit sphere subbundle of $TS^n$, and the geodesic Gauss map $\gamma$ projects this into the…
We prove that singular minimal surfaces with constant Gauss curvature are planes, spheres and cylindrical surfaces. We also classify all singular minimal surfaces with a constant principal curvature and singular minimal surfaces with…
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 construct many closed, embedded mean curvature self-shrinking surfaces $\Sigma_g^2\subseteq\mathbb{R}^3$ of high genus $g=2k$, $k\in \mathbb{N}$. Each of these shrinking solitons has isometry group equal to the dihedral group on $2g$…
We study minimal Lorentz surfaces in the pseudo-Euclidean 4-space with neutral metric whose first normal space is two-dimensional and whose Gauss curvature $K$ and normal curvature $\varkappa$ satisfy the inequality $K^2-\varkappa^2 >0$.…
Using the Lawson's existence theorem of minimal surfaces and the symmetries of the Hopf fibration, we will construct symmetric embedded closed minimal surfaces in the three dimensional sphere. These surfaces contain the Clifford torus, the…
In this paper, we prove that a closed minimally immersed hypersurface $M^4\subset\mathbb S^5$ with constant $S:=\sum\limits_{i=1}^4\lambda_i^2$ and $A_3:=\sum\limits_{i=1}^4\lambda_i^3$ whose scalar curvature $R_M$ is nonnegative must be…
We obtain compact orientable embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature $0<H<\frac{1}{2}$ and arbitrary genus in $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$. These surfaces have dihedral symmetry and desingularize a pair of spheres with mean…
The Gauss map of a hypersurface of a unit sphere $S^{n+1}(1)$ is a Lagrangian immersion into the complex quadric $Q^n$ and, conversely, every Lagrangian submanifold of $Q^n$ is locally the image under the Gauss map of several hypersurfaces…
For a closed minimal immersed hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb S^{n+1}$ with second fundamental form $A$, and each integer $k\ge 2$, define a constant $\sigma_k=\dfrac{\int_M (|A|^2)^k}{|M|}$. We show that $\sigma_k \ge 2^k$ provided $n=2$ and…
Combining the intrinsic and extrinsic geometry, we generalize Einstein manifolds to Integral-Einstein (IE) submanifolds. A Takahashi-type theorem is established to characterize minimal hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature (CSC) in…
In this survey, we discuss various aspects of the minimal surface equation in the three-sphere S^3. After recalling the basic definitions, we describe a family of immersed minimal tori with rotational symmetry. We then review the known…
We use Clifford algebras to construct a unified formalism for studying constant extrinsic curvature immersed surfaces in riemannian and semi-riemannian $3$-manifolds in terms of immersed bilegendrian surfaces in their unitary bundles. As an…
We study some geometrical aspects of two dimensional orientable surfaces arrising from the study of CP^N sigma models. To this aim we employ an identification of R^(N(N+2)) with the Lie algebra su(N+1) by means of which we construct a…
