We prove a general fusion theorem for complete orientable minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite total curvature. As a consequence, complete orientable minimal surfaces of weak finite total curvature with exotic geometry are…

In this paper we prove that a complete, embedded minimal surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite topology and compact boundary (possibly empty) is conformally a compact Riemann surface $\overline{M}$ with boundary punctured in a finite…

Finite topology self translating surfaces to mean curvature flow of surfaces constitute a key element for the analysis of Type II singularities from a compact surface, since they arise in a limit after suitable blow-up scalings around the…

We construct families of embedded, singly periodic minimal surfaces of any genus $g$ in the quotient with any even number $2n>2$ of almost parallel Scherk ends. A surface in such a family looks like $n$ parallel planes connected by $n-1+g$…

We extend the theory of complete minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of finite total curvature to the wider class of elliptic special Weingarten surfaces of finite total curvature; in particular, we extend the seminal works of L. Jorge and…

We study compact stable embedded minimal surfaces whose boundary is given by two collections of closed smooth Jordan curves in close planes of Euclidean 3-space. Our main result is a classification of these minimal surfaces, under certain…

We prove: a properly embedded, genus-one minimal surface that is asymptotic to a helicoid and that contains two straight lines must intersect that helicoid precisely in those two lines. In particular, the two lines divide the surface into…

We show that closed surfaces with minimal total absolute curvature in Cartan-Hadamard 3-manifolds bound flat convex bodies. This generalizes Chern-Lashof's theorem for surfaces in Euclidean space and solves a problem posed by Gromov in…

In this paper we develop the theory of properly immersed minimal surfaces in the quotient space $\mathbb H^2\times\mathbb R/G,$ where $G$ is a subgroup of isometries generated by a vertical translation and a horizontal isometry in $\mathbb…

We carry out the first main step towards the construction of new examples of complete embedded self-similar surfaces under mean curvature flow. An approximate solution is obtained by taking two known examples of self-similar surfaces and…

In this paper we show that a complete and non-compact surface immersed in the Euclidean space with quadratic extrinsic area growth has finite total curvature provided the surface has tamed second fundamental form and admits total curvature.…

In the present paper, we discuss the singular minimal surfaces in a Euclidean 3-space R^{3} which are minimal. In fact, such a surface is nothing but a plane, a trivial outcome. However, a non-trivial outcome is obtained when we modify the…
