Simply-connected Nonpositive Curved Surfaces in R3
where |B| is the length of second fundamental form. |B|2 = 4|H|2 − 2K, where H is the mean curvature and K is the Gauss curvature. The curvature of minimal surfaces is nonpositive. Then we exam what is still hold for some minimal surface theorems if extending the minimal condition H ≡ 0 to the surfaces with K ≤ 0 and (1). In 2001, F. Xavier [18] has the following theorem: Theorem [Xavier]. Let ...
متن کامل0 N ov 2 00 5 WHAT ARE THE SHAPES OF EMBEDDED MINIMAL SURFACES AND WHY ? TOBIAS
Minimal surfaces with uniform curvature (or area) bounds have been well understood and the regularity theory is complete, yet essentially nothing was known without such bounds. We discuss here the theory of embedded (i.e., without self-intersections) minimal surfaces in Euclidean space R 3 without a priori bounds. The study is divided into three cases, depending on the topology of the surface. ...
متن کاملAttaching handles to Bryant surfaces
Complete minimal surfaces and constant mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean or hyperbolic space have been the object of much attention in recent years and particular efforts have been devoted in understanding the moduli space of such surfaces. More precisely, the surfaces we are interested in are complete, noncompact surfaces which may or may not be embedded but enjoy the somehow weaker, and sl...
متن کاملAdding Handles to the Helicoid
There exist two new embedded minimal surfaces, asymptotic to the helicoid. One is periodic, with quotient (by orientation-preserving translations) of genus one. The other is nonperiodic of genus one. We have constructed two minimal surfaces of theoretical interest. The first is a complete, embedded, singly periodic minimal surface (SPEMS) that is asymptotic to the helicoid, has infinite genus, ...
متن کاملThe geometry of finite topology Bryant surfaces
In this paper we shall establish that properly embedded constant mean curvature one surfaces in H of finite topology are of finite total curvature and each end is regular. In particular, this implies the horosphere is the only simply connected such example, and the catenoid cousins the only annular examples of this nature. In general each annular end of such a surface is asymptotic to an end of...
