AbstractWe apply the local removable singularity theorem for minimal laminations [W. H. Meeks III, J. Pérez and A. Ros, Local removable singularity theorems for minimal laminations, J. Differential Geom. 103 (2016), no. 2, 319–362] and the local picture theorem on the scale of topology [W. H. Meeks III, J. Pérez and A. Ros, The local picture theorem on the scale of topology, J. Differential Geom. 109 (2018), no. 3, 509–565] to obtain two descriptive results for certain possibly singular minimal laminations of {\mathbb{R}^{3}}. These two global structure theorems will be applied in [W. H. Meeks III, J. Pérez and A. Ros, Bounds on the topology and index of classical minimal surfaces, preprint 2016] to obtain bounds on the index and the number of ends of complete, embedded minimal surfaces of fixed genus and finite topology in {\mathbb{R}^{3}}, and in [W. H. Meeks III, J. Pérez and A. Ros, The embedded Calabi–Yau conjectures for finite genus, preprint 2018] to prove that a complete, embedded minimal surface in {\mathbb{R}^{3}} with finite genus and a countable number of ends is proper.

AbstractIn this paper we prove some general results for constant mean curvature lamination limits of certain sequences of compact surfacesM_{n}embedded in\mathbb{R}^{3}with constant mean curvatureH_{n}and fixed finite genus, when the boundaries of these surfaces tend to infinity. Two of these theorems generalize to the non-zero constant mean curvature case, similar structure theorems by Colding and Minicozzi in [6, 8] for limits of sequences of minimal surfaces of fixed finite genus.

AbstractWe present some geometric applications, of global character, of the bubbling analysis developed by Buzano and Sharp for closed minimal surfaces, obtaining smooth multiplicity one convergence results under upper bounds on the Morse index and suitable lower bounds on either the genus or the area. For instance, we show that given any Riemannian metric of positive scalar curvature on the three-dimensional sphere the class of embedded minimal surfaces of index one and genus $$\gamma $$ γ is sequentially compact for any $$\gamma \ge 1$$ γ ≥ 1 . Furthemore, we give a quantitative description of how the genus drops as a sequence of minimal surfaces converges smoothly, with mutiplicity $$m\ge 1$$ m ≥ 1 , away from finitely many points where curvature concentration may happen. This result exploits a sharp estimate on the multiplicity of convergence in terms of the number of ends of the bubbles that appear in the process.
