Triunduloids: Embedded Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces with Three Ends and Genus Zero
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1841, Delaunay constructed the embedded surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature (CMC); these unduloids have genus zero and are now known to be the only embedded CMC surfaces with two ends and finite genus. Here, we construct the complete family of embedded CMC surfaces with three ends and genus zero; they are classified using their asymptotic necksizes. We work in a class slightly more general than embedded surfaces, namely immersed surfaces which bound an immersed three-manifold, as introduced by Alexandrov.

Coplanar Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces
We consider constant mean curvature surfaces with finite topology, properly embedded in three-space in the sense of Alexandrov. Such surfaces with three ends and genus zero were constructed and completely classified by the authors [GKS2, GKS1]. Here we extend the arguments to the case of an arbitrary number of ends, under the assumption that the asymptotic axes of the ends lie in a common plane...
متن کاملModuli Spaces of Embedded Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces with Few Ends and Special Symmetry
We give necessary conditions on complete embedded cmc surfaces with three or four ends subject to reflection symmetries. The respective submoduli spaces are twodimensional varieties in the moduli spaces of general cmc surfaces. We characterize fundamental domains of our cmc surfaces by associated great circle polygons in the three-sphere. We are interested in explicitly parametrizing the moduli...
متن کاملConstant mean curvature surfaces with three ends.
We announce the classification of complete almost embedded surfaces of constant mean curvature, with three ends and genus zero. They are classified by triples of points on the sphere whose distances are the asymptotic necksizes of the three ends.
متن کاملClassification of Embedded Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces with Genus Zero and Three Ends
For each embedded constant mean curvature surface in R 3 with three ends and genus zero, we construct a conjugate cousin boundary contour in S 3. The moduli space of such contours is parametrized by the space of triples of distinct points in S 2. This imposes necessary conditions on the cmc surfaces; moreover, we expect the space of triples exactly parametrizes their moduli space. Our approach ...
متن کاملSpacelike Mean Curvature 1 Surfaces of Genus 1 with Two Ends in De Sitter 3-space
We give a mathematical foundation for, and numerical demonstration of, the existence of mean curvature 1 surfaces of genus 1 with either two elliptic ends or two hyperbolic ends in de Sitter 3-space. An end of a mean curvature 1 surface is an “elliptic end” (resp. a “hyperbolic end”) if the monodromy matrix at the end is diagonalizable with eigenvalues in the unit circle (resp. in the reals). A...
