Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces Based on Fundamental Quadrilaterals

We describe the construction of CMC surfaces with symmetries in $\mathbb {S}^{3}$ S 3 and $\mathbb {R}^{3}$ ℝ 3 using a CMC quadrilateral in a fundamental tetrahedron of a tessellation of the space. The fundamental piece is constructed by the generalized Weierstrass representation using a geometric flow on the space of potentials.

Construction of constant mean curvature n-noids using the DPW method

We construct constant mean curvature surfaces in euclidean space with genus zero and n ends asymptotic to Delaunay surfaces using the DPW method.

Delaunay surfaces expressed in terms of a Cartan moving frame

Delaunay surfaces are investigated by using a moving frame approach. These surfaces correspond to surfaces of revolution in the Euclidean three-space. A set of basic one-forms is defined. Moving frame equations can be formulated and studied. Related differential equations which depend on variables relevant to the surface are obtained. For the case of minimal and constant mean curvature surfaces, the coordinate functions can be calculated in closed form. In the case in which the mean curvature is constant, these functions can be expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions.
