We prove that for any open Riemann surface $N$ and finite subset $Z\subset \mathbb{S}^1=\{z\in\mathbb{C}\,|\;|z|=1\},$ there exist an infinite closed set $Z_N \subset \mathbb{S}^1$ containing $Z$ and a null holomorphic curve…
It is a well known phenomenon that many classical minimal surfaces in Euclidean space also exist with higher dihedral symmetry. More precisely, these surfaces are solutions to free boundary problems in a wedge bounded by two vertical planes…
It is pointed out that the equations $\sum_{i=1}^d [X_i,[X_i,X_j]]=0$ (and its super-symmetrizations, playing a central role in M-theory matrix models) describe noncommutative minimal surfaces -- and can be solved as such.
Equations are derived for the shape of a hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^N$ for which a rigid motion yields a minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^{N+1}$. Some elementary, but unconventional, aspects of the classical case $N=2$ (solved by H.F. Scherk…
In this article we present an elementary introduction to the theory of minimal surfaces in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb R^n$ for $n\ge 3$ by using only elementary calculus of functions of several variables at the level of a typical second-year…
In this note we propose a min-max theory for embedded hypersurfaces with a fixed boundary and apply it to prove several theorems about the existence of embedded minimal hypersurfaces with a given boundary. A simpler variant of these…
Let $\Sigma$ a closed $n$-dimensional manifold, $\mathcal{N} \subset \mathbb{R}^M$ be a closed manifold, and $u \in W^{s,\frac ns}(\Sigma,\mathcal{N})$ for $s\in(0,1)$. We extend the monumental work of Sacks and Uhlenbeck by proving that if…
The normal Gauss map of a minimal surface in the model space Sol of solvegeometry is a harmonic map with respect to a certain singular Riemannian metric on the extended complex plane.
Following Riemann's idea, we prove the existence of a minimal disk in Euclidean space bounded by three lines in generic position and with three helicoidal ends of angles less than $\pi$. In the case of general angles, we prove that there…
In the analysis of the energy of the four-quark system obtained in the SU(2) lattice Monte Carlo, the f-model in which the transition potential is expressed in the form $f=f_c exp(-k_A b_s A-k_P\sqrt{b_s}P)$, where A is the area and P is…
The spectral unit ball $\Omega_n$ is the set of all $n\times n$ matrices with spectral radius less than $1$. Let $\pi(M) \in \mathbb C^n$ stand for the coefficients of its characteristic polynomial of $M$ (up to signs), i.e. the elementary…
We introduce a flow of maps from a compact surface of arbitrary genus to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold which has elements in common with both the harmonic map flow and the mean curvature flow, but is more effective at finding minimal…
We investigate the existence of minimal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ that are generated by the isoparametric foliation of a subsphere $\mathbb{S}^n$. By considering a generalized rotational ansatz formed by the union of homothetic…
A conformal map from a Riemann surface to a Euclidean space of dimension greater than or equal to three is explained by using the Clifford algebra, in a similar fashion to quaternionic holomorphic geometry of surfaces in the Euclidean…
We introduce the Loop Weierstrass Representation for minimal surfaces in Euclidean space and constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in hyperbolic space by applying integral system methods to the Weierstrass and Bryant representations. We unify…
We prove a uniqueness result for finite-dimensional representations of the Kauffman skein algebra $\mathcal{S}_A(S)$ of a surface $S$, when $A$ is a root of unity and when the surface $S$ is a sphere with at most four punctures or a torus…
The spinor representation is developed for conformal immersions of Riemann surfaces into space. We adapt the approach of Dennis Sullivan, which treats a spin structure on a Riemann surface M as a complex line bundle S whose square is the…
We introduce a class of Weierstrass-Enneper lifts of harmonic mappings which satisfy a criterion for univalence introduced by Duren, Osgood and the first author in [J. Geom. Anal. (2007)].
Self-shrinkers are important geometric objects in the study of mean curvature flows, while the Bernstein Theorem is one of the most profound results in minimal surface theory. We prove a Bernstein type result for graphical self-shrinker…
Consider a domain D in R^3 which is convex (possibly all R^3) or which is smooth and bounded. Given any open surface M, we prove that there exists a complete, proper minimal immersion f : M --> D. Moreover, if D is smooth and bounded, then…
