Compact Embedded Minimal Surfaces of Positive Genus without Area Bounds
نویسنده
چکیده
LetM be a three-manifold (possibly with boundary). We will show that, for any positive integer γ, there exists an open nonempty set of metrics on M (in the C-topology on the space of metrics on M) for each of which there are compact embedded stable minimal surfaces of genus γ with arbitrarily large area. This extends a result of Colding and Minicozzi, who proved the case γ = 1.

Examples of Stable Embedded Minimal Spheres without Area Bounds
This answers affirmatively a question posed in [CM04]. In [CM99], T. H. Colding and W. P. Minicozzi II proved an analogous theorem, stating that there exists an open set of metrics on M such that there are embedded minimal tori of arbitrarily large area. This result was extended to surfaces of positive genus in [Dea03] by B. Dean. The genus zero case has remained an open problem since then, lar...
متن کاملClassification of Stable Minimal Surfaces Bounded by Jordan Curves in Close Planes
We study compact stable embedded minimal surfaces whose boundary is given by two collections of closed smooth Jordan curves in close planes of Euclidean Three-Space. Our main result is a classification of these minimal surfaces, under certain natural geometric asymptotic constraints, in terms of certain associated varifolds which can be enumerated explicitely. One consequence of this result is ...
متن کاملThe space of minimal embeddings of a surface into a three-dimensional manifold of positive Ricci curvature
In this paper we obtain a curvature estimate for embedded minimal surfaces in a three-dimensional manifold of positive Ricci curvature in terms of the geometry of the ambient manifold and the genus of the minimal surface. It should be mentioned that there are two main points in our result: One is the absence of a stability assumption and the other is the requirement of being embedded. Most know...
متن کاملHopf Tori in S 3
Garsia [23 had shown that every compact Riemann surface (of any genus) can be conformally embedded in ~3 as an algebraic surface, but his method of proof was not constructive and he therefore did not obtain bounds for the degree of this surface. As another application of Hopf tori we construct new examples of compact embedded Willmore surfaces. A surface in ~3 is called a Willmore surface if it...
