In the 1990s, physicists constructed two one-parameter families of compact oriented embedded minimal surfaces in flat three-tori by using symmetries of space groups, called the rG family and tG family. The present work studies the existence of the two families via the period lattices. Moreover, we will consider two kinds of geometric invariants for the two families, namely, the Morse index and the signature of a minimal surface. We show that Schwarz P surface, D surface, Schoen’s gyroid, and the Lidinoid belong to a family of minimal surfaces with Morse index 1.

AbstractWe develop a general method to compute the Morse index of branched Willmore spheres and show that the Morse index is equal to the index of certain matrix whose dimension is equal to the number of ends of the dual minimal surface (when the latter exists). As a corollary, we find that for all immersed Willmore spheres $$\vec {\Phi }:S^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^3$$ Φ → : S 2 → R 3 such that $$W(\vec {\Phi })=4\pi n$$ W ( Φ → ) = 4 π n , we have $$\mathrm {Ind}_{W}(\vec {\Phi })\le n-1$$ Ind W ( Φ → ) ≤ n - 1 .

Here we study Enneper?s minimal surface and some of its properties. We compute and visualize the lines of self-intersection, lines of intersections with planes, lines of curvature, asymptotic and geodesic lines of Enneper?s surface. For the graphical representations of all the results we use our own software for line graphics.

In a previous paper it was shown how to associate with a Lagrangian submanifold satisfying Chen's equality in 3-dimensional complex projective space, a minimal surface in the 5-sphere with ellipse of curvature a circle. In this paper we focus on the reverse construction.
