We prove some half-space theorems for minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg group Nil_3 and the Lie group Sol_3 endowed with their left-invariant Riemannian metrics. If S is a properly immersed minimal surface in Nil_3 that lies on one side of…
A surface in homogenous space Sol is said to be an invariant surface if it is invariant under some of the two 1-parameter groups of isometries of the ambient space whose fix point sets are totally geodesic surfaces. In this work we study…
We consider the extrinsic geometry of surfaces in simply isotropic space, a three-dimensional space equipped with a rank 2 metric of index zero. Since the metric is degenerate, a surface normal cannot be unequivocally defined based on…
Weierstrass representation is a classical parameterization of minimal surfaces. However, two functions should be specified to construct the parametric form in Weierestrass representation. In this paper, we propose an explicit parametric…
We derive the Weierstrass (or spinor) representation for surfaces in three-dimensional Lie groups Nil, \tilde{SL}_2, and Sol with Thurston's geometries and establish the generating equations for minimal surfaces in these groups. By using…
We derive a correspondence between (Lorentzian) harmonic maps into the pseudosphere $S_1^2$, with appropriate regularity conditions, and certain connection 1-forms. To these harmonic maps, we associate a representation of type Weierstrass,…

We consider harmonic immersions in $\R^{\N}$ of compact Riemann surfaces with finitely many punctures where the harmonic coordinate functions are given as real parts of meromorphic functions. We prove that such surfaces have finite total…
We prove that the distortion function of the Gauss map of a harmonic surface coincides with the distortion function of the surface. Consequently, Gauss map of a harmonic surface is ${\mathcal{K}}$ quasiregular if and only if the surface is…
We find algebraic parametrizations of extended solutions of harmonic maps of finite uniton number from a surface to the orthogonal group O(n) in terms of free holomorphic data which lead to formulae for all such harmonic maps. Our work…
In this paper we introduce the fourth fundamental form for the hypersurfaces in $H^{n+1}$ and the space-like hypersurfaces in $S_{1}^{n+1}$ and discuss the conformality of the normal Gauss maps of the hypersurfaces in $H^{n+1}$ and…
We prove that any minimal (maximal) strongly regular surface in the three-dimensional Minkowski space locally admits canonical principal parameters. Using this result, we find a canonical representation of minimal strongly regular time-like…
We refine Osserman's argument on the exceptional values of the Gauss map of algebraic minimal surfaces. This gives an effective estimate for the number of exceptional values and the totally ramified value number for a wider class of…
In this note we demonstrate how the analogy between the harmonic Gauss map of a constant mean curvature surface and the harmonic conformal Gauss map of a Willmore surface can be used to obtain results on Willmore surfaces.
The immersion of the string world sheet, regarded as a Riemann surface, in $R^3$ and $R^4$ is described by the generalized Gauss map. When the Gauss map is harmonic or equivalently for surfaces of constant mean curvature, we obtain…
