Mean-convex Alexandrov embedded constant mean curvature tori in the 3-sphere

We introduce the moduli space of spectral curves of constant mean curvature (\cmc\hspace{-5pt}) cylinders of finite type in the round unit 3-sphere. The subset of spectral curves of mean-convex Alexandrov embedded cylinders is explicitly determined using a combination of integrable systems and geometric analysis techniques. We prove that these cylinders are surfaces of revolution. As a consequence all mean-convex Alexandrov embedded {\sc{cmc}} tori in the 3-sphere are surfaces of revolution.

Properly embedded minimal annuli in $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$

In $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ there is a two-parameter family of properly embedded minimal annuli foliated by circles. In this paper we show that this family contains all properly embedded minimal annuli. We use the description of minimal annuli in $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ by periodic harmonic maps $G : \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{S}^2$ of finite type. Due to the algebraic geometric correspondence of Hitchin [14], these harmonic maps are parametrized by hyperelliptic algebraic curves together with Abelian differentials with prescribed poles. We deform annuli by deforming spectral data in the corresponding moduli space. Along this deformation we control the flux and we preserve embeddedness. The center of the theory concerns the study of singularities of the flow. In particular we open and close nodes of singular spectral curves. This approach applies also to mean convex Alexandrov embedded cmc annuli in $\mathbb{S}^3$ [12].

Finite type minimal annuli in $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$

We study minimal annuli in $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ of finite type by relating them to harmonic maps $\mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{S}^2$ of finite type. We rephrase an iteration by Pinkall-Sterling in terms of polynomial Killing fields. We discuss spectral curves, spectral data and the geometry of the isospectral set. We consider polynomial Killing fields with zeroes and the corresponding singular spectral curves, bubbletons and simple factors. We investigate the differentiable structure on the isospectral set of any finite type minimal annulus. We apply the theory to a 2-parameter family of embedded minimal annuli foliated by horizontal circles.

Generalized Riemann minimal surfaces examples in three-dimensional manifolds products

In this paper, we construct and classify minimal surfaces foliated by horizontal constant curvature curves in product manifolds $M \times \R$, where $M$ is the hyperbolic plane, the Euclidean plane or the two dimensional sphere. The main tool is the existence of a Jacobi field which characterize the property to be foliated in circles and geodesics in these product manifolds. It is related to harmonic maps.
