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...

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.

Stable Minimal Surfaces

Let M<=R be a minimal surface. A domain Z><= M is an open connected set with compact closure D and such that its boundary dD is a finite union of piecewise smooth curves. We say that D is stable if D is a minimum for the area function of the induced metric, for all variations of D which keep dD fixed. In this note we announce the following estimate of the "size" of a stable minimal surface. We ...
