Minimal surfaces in Euclidean space with a log-linear density

Differential Geometry 2014-10-10 v1

Abstract

We study surfaces in Euclidean space R3{\mathbb R}^3 that are minimal for a log-linear density ϕ(x,y,z)=αx+βy+γy\phi(x,y,z)=\alpha x+\beta y+\gamma y, where α,β,γ\alpha,\beta,\gamma are real numbers not all zero. We prove that if a surface is ϕ\phi-minimal foliated by circles in parallel planes, then these planes are orthogonal to the vector (α,β,γ)(\alpha,\beta,\gamma) and the surface must be rotational. We also classify all minimal surfaces of translation type.
