Embeddedness of Minimal Surfaces with Total Boundary Curvature at Most
This paper proves that classical minimal surfaces of arbitrary topological type with total boundary curvature at most 4 must be smoothly embedded. Related results are proved for varifolds and for soap lm surfaces. In a celebrated paper N3] of 1973, Nitsche proved that if ? is an analytic simple closed curve in R 3 with total curvature at most 4, then ? bounds exactly one minimal disk M. Further...
متن کاملOrientable and nonorientable minimal surfaces
We describe a theory of Morse-Conley type for orientable and nonorientable minimal surfaces of varying topological type solving Plateau problems in R 3 . 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 53A10, 49F10, 58E12, 32G 15 After J. Douglas had solved Plateau's problem (this was also independently achieved by T. Rad6), he considered the problem of finding minimal surfaces of higher genus and/or c...

متن کاملMinimal Surfaces with Planar Boundary Curves
In 1956, Shiffman [Sh] proved that any compact minimal annulus with two convex boundary curves (resp. circles) in parallel planes is foliated by convex planar curves (resp. circles) in the intermediate planes. In 1978, Meeks conjectured that the assumption the minimal surface is an annulus is unnecessary [M]; that is, he conjectured that any compact connected minimal surface with two planar con...
