Properly embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature

چکیده
In this paper we prove a maximum principle at infinity for properly embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature H > 0 in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space. We show that no one of these surfaces can lie in the mean convex side of another properly embedded H surface. We also prove that, under natural assumptions, if the surface lies in the slab |x3| < 1/2H and is symmetric with respect to the plane x3 = 0, then it intersects this plane in a countable union of strictly convex closed curves.

متن کاملCoplanar Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces
We consider constant mean curvature surfaces with finite topology, properly embedded in three-space in the sense of Alexandrov. Such surfaces with three ends and genus zero were constructed and completely classified by the authors [GKS2, GKS1]. Here we extend the arguments to the case of an arbitrary number of ends, under the assumption that the asymptotic axes of the ends lie in a common plane...
متن کاملDelaunay Ends of Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces
We use the generalized Weierstrass representation to analyze the asymptotic behavior of a constant mean curvature surface that locally arises from an ODE with a regular singularity. We show that if system is a perturbation of that of a Delaunay surface, then the corresponding constant mean curvature surface has a properly immersed end that is asymptotically Delaunay. Furthermore, that end is em...
متن کاملThe Moduli Space of Complete Embedded Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces
We examine the space of surfaces in R which are complete, properly embedded and have nonzero constant mean curvature. These surfaces are noncompact provided we exclude the case of the round sphere. We prove that the space Mk of all such surfaces with k ends (where surfaces are identified if they differ by an isometry of R) is locally a real analytic variety. When the linearization of the quasil...
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...
