Limiting behavior of sequences of properly embedded minimal disks (Q2208491): Difference between revisions

The authors give a detailed description of the lamination and of the singular set for a certain rich class of minimal disks (see for example Theorem 1.1). They also prove that it is possible to realize families of catenoids in Euclidean space as limit leaves of sequences of embedded minimal disks, even when there is no curvature blow-up. The paper is organized into nine sections dealing with the following aspects : Introduction, \(\theta\)-graphs, Existence of minimal \(\theta\)-graphs with prescribed boundary, Smooth convergence at the boundary, Necessary conditions for a lamination to appear as the limit leaves of the limit lamination of a sequence of minimal \(\theta\)-graphs, Specifying the rotationally invariant leaves of a limit lamination, The hyperbolic case I. Existence of \(\theta\)-graphs with prescribed boundary at infinity, The Hyperbolic case II. Necessary conditions for a lamination to appear as limit leaves of a limit lamination, The Hyperbolic case III. Specifying the rotationally invariant leaves of a limit lamination.
