We give a complete topological classification of minimal surfaces in Euclidian three-space.
Let $M$ be an open Riemann surface. We prove that every meromorphic function on $M$ is the complex Gauss map of a conformal minimal immersion $M\to\mathbb{R}^3$ which may furthermore be chosen as the real part of a holomorphic null curve…
An immersion of a compact manifold is tight if it admits the minimal total absolute curvature over all immersions of the manifold. A prominent result in the study of minimal total absolute curvature immersions is the theorem of Chern and…
The flat torus ${\mathbb T}={\mathbb S}^1\left (\frac{1}{2} \right ) \times {\mathbb S}^1\left (\frac{1}{2} \right )$ admits a proper biharmonic isometric immersion into the unit $4$-dimensional sphere ${\mathbb S}^4$ given by $\Phi=i \circ…
It is known that any periodic map of order $n$ on a closed oriented surface of genus $g$ can be equivariantly embedded into $S^m$ for some $m$. In the orientable and smooth category, we determine the smallest possible $m$ when $n\geq 3g$.…
We establish the lower bound of $4\pi(1+g)$ for the area of the Gauss map of any immersion of a closed oriented surface of genus $g$ into $\mathbb{S}^3$, taking values in the Grassmannian of $2$-planes in $\mathbb{R}^4$. This lower bound is…
We survey what is known about minimal surfaces in $\bold R^3 $ that are complete, embedded, and have finite total curvature. The only classically known examples of such surfaces were the plane and the catenoid. The discovery by Costa, early…
We describe some topological structure in the set of all surfaces with finitely many singularities in the 3-sphere. As an application, we prove that every Riemannian 3-sphere of positive Ricci curvature contains, for every g, a genus g…
We establish a nonlinear analogue of a splitting map into a Euclidean space, as a harmonic map into a flat torus. We prove that the existence of such a map implies Gromov-Hausdorff closeness to a flat torus in any dimension. Furthermore,…
A minimal family of curves on an embedded surface is defined as a 1-dimensional family of rational curves of minimal degree, which cover the surface. We classify such minimal families using constructive methods. This allows us to compute…
We study square-tiled tori, that is, tori obtained from a finite collection of unit squares by parallel side identifications. Square-tiled tori can be parametrized in a natural way that allows to count the number of square-tiled tori tiled…
A Kahler-type form is a symplectic form compatible with an integrable complex structure. Let M be either a torus or a K3-surface equipped with a Kahler-type form. We show that the homology class of any Maslov-zero Lagrangian torus in M has…
On a Riemannian 2-torus $(T^2,g)$ we study the geodesic flow in the case of low complexity described by zero topological entropy. We show that this assumption implies a nearly integrable behavior. In our previous paper \cite{GK} we already…
We provide a structure theorem for all almost complete intersection ideals of depth three in any Noetherian local ring. In particular, we find that the minimal generators are the pfaffians of suitable submatrices of an alternating matrix.…
We analyze spectral minimal $k$-partitions for the torus. In continuation with what we have obtained for thin annuli or thin strips on a cylinder (Neumann case), we get similar results for anisotropic tori.
Let $M$ be an open Riemann surface and $n\ge 3$ be an integer. We prove that on any closed discrete subset of $M$ one can prescribe the values of a conformal minimal immersion $M\to\mathbb{R}^n$. Our result also ensures jet-interpolation of…
We study explicit conformal minimal immersions into $\mathbb{R}^5$ obtained from holomorphic null curves in $\mathbb{C}^5$. Although the general correspondence between conformal minimal immersions in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and holomorphic null data…
We consider 2-dimensional random simplicial complexes $Y$ in the multi-parameter model. We establish the multi-parameter threshold for the property that every 2-dimensional simplicial complex $S$ admits a topological embedding into $Y$…
We consider a class of a priori stable quasi-integrable analytic Hamiltonian systems and study the regularity of low-dimensional hyperbolic invariant tori as functions of the perturbation parameter. We show that, under natural nonresonance…
For positive integers $m$ and $s$, let $\mathbf{m}_s$ stand for the $s$-th tuple $(m,\ldots,m)$. We show that, for large enough $s$, the higher topological complexity $TC_s$ of an even dimensional real projective space $RP^m$ is…
