Hypersurfaces with Constant Mean Curvature in a Lorentzian Space Form

The 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...

Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces in Euclidean and Minkowski 3-spaces

Spacelike constant mean curvature surfaces in Minkowski 3-space L have an infinite dimensional generalized Weierstrass representation. This is analogous to that given by Dorfmeister, Pedit and Wu for constant mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean space, replacing the group SU(2) with SU(1, 1). The non-compactness of the latter group, however, means that the Iwasawa decomposition of the loop grou...

Surfaces of annulus type with constant mean curvature in Lorentz-Minkowski space

In this paper we solve the Plateau problem for spacelike surfaces with constant mean curvature in Lorentz-Minkowski three-space L and spanning two circular (axially symmetric) contours in parallel planes. We prove that rotational symmetric surfaces are the only compact spacelike surfaces in L of constant mean curvature bounded by two concentric circles in parallel planes. As conclusion, we char...

Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces with Two Ends in Hyperbolic Space

We investigate the close relationship between minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space and constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space. Just as in the case of minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space, the only complete connected embedded constant mean curvature 1 surfaces with two ends in hyperbolic space are well-understood surfaces of revolution – the catenoid cousins. In contrast to t...
