Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces with Two Ends in Hyperbolic Space
We investigate the close relationship between minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space and constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space. Just as in the case of minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space, the only complete connected embedded constant mean curvature 1 surfaces with two ends in hyperbolic space are well-understood surfaces of revolution – the catenoid cousins. In contrast to t...
متن کاملOn Complete Nonorientable Minimal Surfaces with Low Total Curvature
We classify complete nonorientable minimal surfaces in R3 with total curvature −8π.
متن کاملEmbeddedness of Minimal Surfaces with Total Boundary Curvature at Most
This paper proves that classical minimal surfaces of arbitrary topological type with total boundary curvature at most 4 must be smoothly embedded. Related results are proved for varifolds and for soap lm surfaces. In a celebrated paper N3] of 1973, Nitsche proved that if ? is an analytic simple closed curve in R 3 with total curvature at most 4, then ? bounds exactly one minimal disk M. Further...
متن کاملMinimal Surfaces of Least Total Curvature and Moduli Spaces of Plane Polygonal Arcs
Introduction. The rst major goal of this paper is to prove the existence of complete minimal surfaces of each genus p > 1 which minimize the total curvature (equivalently, the degree of the Gau map) for their genus. The genus zero version of these surfaces is known as Enneper's surface (see [Oss2]) and the genus one version is due to Chen-Gackstatter ([CG]). Recently, experimental evidence for ...
متن کاملConstant mean curvature surfaces with cylindrical ends
R. Schoen has asked whether the sphere and the cylinder are the only complete (almost) embedded constant mean curvature surfaces with finite absolute total curvature. We propose an infinite family of such surfaces. The existence of examples of this kind is supported by results of computer experiments we carried out using an algorithm developed by Oberknapp and Polthier. The cylinder of radius 1...
