For each surface besides the sphere, projective plane, and Klein bottle, we construct a face-simple minimal quadrangulation, i.e., a simple quadrangulation on the fewest number of vertices possible, whose dual is also a simple graph. Our…

We consider surfaces immersed in three-dimensional pseudohermitian manifolds. We define the notion of (p-)mean curvature and of the associated (p-)minimal surfaces, extending some concepts previously given for the (flat) Heisenberg group.…

The paper introduces a number of new techniques to handle minimal hyersurface singularities. In particular, they allow to extend the obstruction theory for postive scalr curvature to any dimension.

In this paper we use theory of embedded graphs on oriented and compact $PL$-surfaces to construct minimal realizations of signed Gauss paragraphs. We prove that the genus of the ambient surface of these minimal realizations can be seen as a…

We prove that the ends of a properly immersed simply or one connected minimal surface in H(2)xR contained in a slab of height less than \pi of H(2)xR, are multi-graphs. When such a surface is embedded then the ends are graphs. When embedded…

For any $H$ in (0,1/2), we construct complete, non-proper, stable, simply-connected surfaces embedded in $H^2xR$ with constant mean curvature $H$.

In this paper, we study the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surface equation in $\rm Sol_3$ with possible infinite boundary data, where $\rm Sol_3$ is the non-abelian solvable $3$-dimensional Lie group equipped with its usual…

Let $\alpha$ be a polygonal Jordan curve in $\bfR^3$. We show that if $\alpha$ satisfies certain conditions, then the least-area Douglas-Rad\'{o} disk in $\bfR^3$ with boundary $\alpha$ is unique and is a smooth graph. As our conditions on…

In this paper, we discuss the minimal surfaces over the slanted half-planes, vertical strips, and single slit whose slit lies on the negative real axis. The representation of these minimal surfaces and the corresponding harmonic mappings…

We extend Osserman's lemma on the generalized Gauss map of two-dimensional minimal graphs of higher codimension, construct a Jenkins-Serrin type special Lagrangian Scherk graph explicitly, and generalize Calabi's correspondence between…

In this paper we study an extension of the Bernstein Theorem for minimal spacelike surfaces of the four dimensional Minkowski vector space form and we obtain the class of those surfaces which are also graphics and have non-zero Gauss…

For each $k\geq 3$, we construct a 1-parameter family of complete properly Alexandrov-embedded minimal surfaces in the Riemannian product space $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ with genus $1$ and $k$ embedded ends asymptotic to vertical…

We prove the existence of complete minimal surfaces of genus g>1 which minimize the total curvature for their genus. Our method is first to identify this (Weierstrass high dimensional period) problem with the problem of finding a particular…

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…

Extending work of Kapouleas and Yang, for any integers $N \geq 2$, $k, \ell \geq 1$, and $m$ sufficiently large, we apply gluing methods to construct in the round $3$-sphere a closed embedded minimal surface that has genus $k\ell…

In this paper we present the novel method for the generation of periodic embedded surfaces of nonpositive Gaussian curvature. The structures are related to the local minima of the scalar order parameter Landau-Ginzburg hamiltonan for…

We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem about spherical helicoidal (in particular, rotational) surfaces with prescribed mean or Gaussian curvature in terms of a continuous function depending on the distance to its axis. As an…

We describe a new family of triply-periodic minimal surfaces with hexagonal symmetry, related to the quartz (qtz) and its dual (the qzd net). We provide a solution to the period problem and provide a parametrisation of these surfaces, that…

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…

In this paper we construct an example of a complete immersed minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of genus one with two embedded catenoid-type ends, one Enneper-type end and total Gauss curvature $-16\pi.$ The proof of the existence of this…
