A connection between flat fronts in hyperbolic space and minimal surfaces in Euclidean space

Mean Curvature One Surfaces in Hyperbolic Space, and Their Relationship to Minimal Surfaces in Euclidean Space

We describe local similarities and global differences between minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space and constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space. We also describe how to solve global period problems for constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space, and we give an overview of recent results on these surfaces. We include computer graphics of a number of examples.

Minimal Surfaces in Euclidean Space

Flat surfaces in the hyperbolic 3-space

In this paper we give a conformal representation of flat surfaces in the hyperbolic 3space using the complex structure induced by its second fundamental form. We also study some examples and the behaviour at infinity of complete flat ends. Mathematics Subject Classification (1991): 53A35, 53C42

Characterizations of Slant Ruled Surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space

In this study, we give the relationships between the conical curvatures of ruled surfaces generated by the unit vectors of the ruling, central normal and central tangent of a ruled surface in the Euclidean 3-space E^3. We obtain differential equations characterizing slant ruled surfaces and if the reference ruled surface is a slant ruled surface, we give the conditions for the surfaces generate...

Minimal translation surfaces in hyperbolic space

In the half-space model of hyperbolic space, that is, R+ = {(x, y, z) ∈ R ; z > 0} with the hyperbolic metric, a translation surface is a surface that writes as z = f(x) + g(y) or y = f(x) + g(z), where f and g are smooth functions. We prove that the only minimal translation surfaces (zero mean curvature in all points) are totally geodesic planes. MSC: 53A10
