Locally isometric families of minimal surfaces

چکیده
We consider a surface M immersed in R with induced metric g = ψδ2 where δ2 is the two dimensional Euclidean metric. We then construct a system of partial differential equations that constrain M to lift to a minimal surface via the Weierstrauss-Enneper representation, demanding the metric is of the above form. It is concluded that the associated surfaces connecting the prescribed minimal surface and its conjugate surface satisfy the system. Moreover, we find a non-trivial symmetry of the PDE which generates a one parameter family of surfaces isometric to a specified minimal surface. M.S.C. 2000: 53A10, 30C55.

Equivariant Minimax and Minimal Surfaces in Geometric Three-manifolds
Minimal surfaces in Riemannian three-dimensional manifolds have played a major role in recent studies of the geometry and topology of 3-manifolds. In particular, stable and least area minimal surfaces have been used extensively [SY, MSY, HS]. On the other hand, explicit examples of unstable minimal surfaces have rarely been given. For the 3-sphere S with the standard metric of constant sectiona...
متن کاملLocal Rigidity of Surfaces in Space Forms
We prove that isometric embeddings of closed, embedded surfaces in R are locally rigid, i.e. they admit no non-trivial local isometric deformations, answering a question in classical differential geometry. The same result holds for abstract surfaces embedded in constant curvature 3-manifolds, provided a mild condition on the fundamental group holds.
متن کاملParametric polynomial minimal surfaces of arbitrary degree
Weierstrass representation is a classical parameterization of minimal surfaces. However, two functions should be specified to construct the parametric form in Weierestrass representation. In this paper, we propose an explicit parametric form for a class of parametric polynomial minimal surfaces of arbitrary degree. It includes the classical Enneper surface for cubic case. The proposed minimal s...
متن کاملSpecialized Orthonormal Frames and Embedding
We discuss some specializations of the frames of flat orthonormal frame bundles over geometries of indefinite signature, and the resulting symmetries of families of embedded Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian geometries. The specializations are closed sets of linear constraints on the connection 1-forms of the framing. The embeddings can be isometric, as in minimal surfaces or Regge–Teitelboim gra...
متن کاملIsometric Immersions into S × R and H × R and Applications to Minimal Surfaces
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold to be isometrically immersed in Sn×R or Hn×R in terms of its first and second fundamental forms and of the projection of the vertical vector field on its tangent plane. We deduce the existence of a one-parameter family of isometric minimal deformations of a given minimal surface in S2 ×R or H2 × R, obtained by...
