Local Minima of the Gauss Curvature of a Minimal Surface
نویسنده
چکیده
Let D be a domain in the complex in-plane and let as: D —• R be a regular minimal surface. Let M(K) be the set of points tu 0. The components of M(K) are of three types: isolated points; simple analytic arcs terminating nowhere in D; analytic Jordan curves in D. Components of the third type are related to the Gauss map.

Experimental Evidence for Maximal Surfaces in a 3 Dimensional Minkowski Space
Conventional physical dogma, justified by the local success of Newtonian dynamics for particles, assigns a Euclidean metric with signature (plus, plus, plus) to the three spatial dimensions. Minimal surfaces are of zero mean curvature and negative Gauss curvature in a Euclidean space, which supports affine evolutionary processes. However, experimental evidence now indicates that the non-affine ...
متن کاملOn the Maximal Number of Exceptional Values of Gauss Maps for Various Classes of Surfaces
The main goal of this paper is to reveal the geometric meaning of the maximal number of exceptional values of Gauss maps for several classes of immersed surfaces in space forms, for example, complete minimal surfaces in the Euclidean three-space, weakly complete improper affine spheres in the affine three-space and weakly complete flat surfaces in the hyperbolic three-space. For this purpose, w...
متن کاملDeformable Registration of Organic Shapes via Surface Intrinsic Integrals: Application to Outer Ear Surfaces
We propose a method for the deformable registration of organic surfaces. Meaningful correspondences between a source surface and a target surface are established by means of a rich surface descriptor that incorporates three categories of features: (1) local and regional geometry; (2) surface anatomy; and (3) global shape information. First, surface intrinsic, geodesic distance integrals, are ex...
متن کاملSimply-connected Nonpositive Curved Surfaces in R3
where |B| is the length of second fundamental form. |B|2 = 4|H|2 − 2K, where H is the mean curvature and K is the Gauss curvature. The curvature of minimal surfaces is nonpositive. Then we exam what is still hold for some minimal surface theorems if extending the minimal condition H ≡ 0 to the surfaces with K ≤ 0 and (1). In 2001, F. Xavier [18] has the following theorem: Theorem [Xavier]. Let ...
متن کاملA Weierstrass representation for linear Weingarten spacelike surfaces of maximal type in the Lorentz–Minkowski space
In this work we extend the Weierstrass representation for maximal spacelike surfaces in the 3-dimensional Lorentz–Minkowski space to spacelike surfaces whose mean curvature is proportional to its Gaussian curvature (linear Weingarten surfaces of maximal type). We use this representation in order to study the Gaussian curvature and the Gauss map of such surfaces when the immersion is complete, p...
