Denjoy-Ahlfors Theorem for Harmonic Functions on Riemannian Manifolds and External Structure of Minimal Surfaces

We extend the well-known Denjoy-Ahlfors theorem on the number of different asymptotic tracts of holomorphic functions to subharmonic functions on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds. We obtain some new versions of the Liouville theorem for $\p$-harmonic functions without requiring the geodesic completeness requirement of a manifold. Moreover, an upper estimate of the topological index of the height function on a minimal surface in $\R{n}$ has been established and, as a consequence, a new proof of Bernstein's theorem on entire solutions has been derived. Other applications to minimal surfaces are also discussed.

Double-periodic maximal surfaces with singularities

We construct and study a family of double-periodic almost entire solutions of the maximal surface equation. The solutions are parameterized by a submanifold of $3\times 3$-matrices (the so-called generating matrices). We show that the constructed solutions are either space-like or of mixed type with the light-cone type isolated singularities.

On the Gauss map of embedded minimal tubes

A surface is called a tube if its level-sets with respect to some coordinate function (the axis of the surface) are compact. Any tube of zero mean curvature has an invariant, the so-called flow vector. We study how the geometry of the Gaussian image of a higher-dimensional minimal tube M is controlled by the angle alpha(M) between the axis and the flow vector of M. We prove that the diameter of the Gauss image of M is at least 2alpha(M). As a consequence we derive an estimate on the length of a two-dimensional minimal tube M in terms of alpha(\M) and the total Gaussian curvature of M.

Finiteness of the number of ends of minimal submanifolds in euclidean space

We prove a version of the well-known Denjoy-Ahlfors theorem about the number of asymptotic values of an entire function for properly immersed minimal surfaces of arbitrary codimension in R^N. The finiteness of the number of ends is proved for minimal submanifolds with finite projective volume. We show, as a corollary, that a minimal surface of codimensionn meeting any n-plane passing through the origin in at most k points has no more c(n,N)k ends.

External geometry of p-minimal surfaces

A surface M is called p-minimal if one of the coordinate functions is p-harmonic in the inner metric. We show that in the twodimensional case the Gaussian map of such surfaces is quasiconformal. In the case when the surface is a tube we study the geometrical structure of such surfaces. In particularly, we establish the second order differential inequality for the form of the sections of M which generalizes the known ones in the minimal surfaces theory.

Entire one-periodic maximal surfaces

In the present paper we study two-dimensional maximal surfaces with harmonic level-sets. As a corollary we obtain a new class of one-periodic maximal surfaces.

Disjoint minimal graphs

We prove that the number s(n) of disjoint minimal graphs supported on domains in R^n is bounded by e(n+1)^2. In the two-dimensional case we show that s(2) is at most three (the conjectured number is two).

Ullemar's formula for the Jacobian of the complex moment mapping

The complex moment sequence m(P) is assigned to a univalent polynomial P by the Cauchy transform of the P(D), where D is the unit disk. We establish the representation of the Jacobian det dm(P) in terms of roots of the derivative P'. Combining this result with the special decomposition for the Hurwitz determinants, we prove a formula for the Jacobian which was previously conjectured by C. Ullemar. As a consequence, we show that the boundary of the class of all locally univalent polynomials in $U$ is contained in the union of three irreducible algebraic surfaces.
