Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces Bounded by Vertical Symmetry Planes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a uniform and elementary treatment of many classical and new triply periodic minimal surfaces in Euclidean space, based on a Schwarz-Christoffel formula for periodic polygons in the plane. Our surfaces share the property that vertical symmetry planes cut them into simply connected pieces. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 53A10; Secondary 49Q05, 53C42.

Isoperimetric Inequalities in Crystallography
The study of the isoperimetric problem in the presence of crystallographic symmetries is an interesting unsolved question in classical differential geometry: Given a space group G, we want to describe, among surfaces dividing Euclidean 3-space into two G-invariant regions with prescribed volume fractions, those which have the least area per unit cell of the group. We know that this periodic iso...
متن کاملSaddle towers in Heisenberg space
We construct most symmetric Saddle towers in Heisenberg space i.e. periodic minimal surfaces that can be seen as the desingularization of vertical planes intersecting equiangularly. The key point is the construction of a suitable barrier to ensure the convergence of a family of bounded minimal disks. Such a barrier is actually a periodic deformation of a minimal plane with prescribed asymptotic...
متن کاملMinimal surfaces in H × R
We construct complete embedded minimal surfaces in H × R. The first one is a finite total curvature surface which is conformal to S \ {p1, ..., pk}, k ≥ 2; the second one is a 1-parameter family of singly-periodic minimal surfaces which is asymptotic to a horizontal plane and a vertical plane; the third one is a 2-parameter family of minimal surfaces which have a fundamental piece of finite tot...

oCLP surfaces with orthorhombic distortion (OCLP for short) are a fattily of twoparameter triply periodic embedded minimal surfaces. We show that they correspond to the Weierstrass function of the form ~
متن کاملFluid permeabilities of triply periodic minimal surfaces.
It has recently been shown that triply periodic two-phase bicontinuous composites with interfaces that are the Schwartz primitive (P) and diamond (D) minimal surfaces are not only geometrically extremal but extremal for simultaneous transport of heat and electricity. The multifunctionality of such two-phase systems has been further established by demonstrating that they are also extremal when a...
