Embedded Minimal Ends of Finite Type

چکیده
We prove that the end of a complete embedded minimal surface in R3 with infinite total curvature and finite type has an explicit Weierstrass representation that only depends on a holomorphic function that vanishes at the puncture. Reciprocally, any choice of such an analytic function gives rise to a properly embedded minimal end E provided that it solves the corresponding period problem. Furthermore, if the flux along the boundary vanishes, then the end is C0-asymptotic to a Helicoid. We apply these results to proving that any complete embedded one-ended minimal surface of finite type and infinite total curvature is asymptotic to a Helicoid, and we characterize the Helicoid as the only simply connected complete embedded minimal surface of finite type in R3.

The influence of S-embedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups
Let H be a subgroup of a group G. H is said to be S-embedded in G if G has a normal T such that HT is an S-permutable subgroup of G and H ∩ T ≤ H sG, where H denotes the subgroup generated by all those subgroups of H which are S-permutable in G. In this paper, we investigate the influence of minimal S-embedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups. We determine the structure the finite grou...
متن کاملModern Examples of Complete Embedded Minimal Surfaces of Finite Total Curvature
1. Introduction. A natural class of minimal surfaces to study are the embedded mini mal surfaces — those which have no selfintersections as a subset of R 3. Of course, every point of a surface immersed in R 3 has a neighborhood which is embedded, so by itself this isn't a very interesting restriction. However, an embedded minimal surface pro duced in this way is clearly extendable and thus n...
متن کاملComplete Properly Embedded Minimal Surfaces in R3
In this short paper, we apply estimates and ideas from [CM4] to study the ends of a properly embedded complete minimal surface 2 ⊂ R3 with finite topology. The main result is that any complete properly embedded minimal annulus that lies above a sufficiently narrow downward sloping cone must have finite total curvature. In this short paper, we apply estimates and ideas from [CM4] to study the en...
متن کاملThe Geometry and Conformal Structure of Properly Embedded Minimal Surfaces of Finite Topology in R
In this paper we study the conformal structure and the asymptotic behavior of properly embedded minimal surfaces of finite topology in . One consequence of our study is that when such a surface has at least two ends, then it has finite conformal type, i.e., it is conformally diffeomorphic to a compact Riemann surface punctured in a finite number of points. Except for the helicoid and a recently...
متن کاملThe Asymptotic Behavior of Properly Embedded Minimal Surfaces of Finite Topology
While advances have been made in recent years in the study of properly embedded minimal surfaces of finite topology in R3 [3,5,8,9, 11, 12, 13,23], progress has depended, in an essential manner, on the special structure of such surfaces with finite total curvature. A properly immersed minimal surface with finite total curvature is, conformally, a compact Riemann surface punctured in a finite nu...
