A spectral curve approach to Lawson symmetric CMC surfaces of genus 2 (Q476757): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the author studies minimal surfaces and constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in the sphere \(S^3\) with the aim to develop a theory of integrable systems for compact higher-genus minimal and CMC surfaces in \(S^3\). To do this he uses their associated family of flat \(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb C)\)-connections. By Hitchin's abelianization he parametrizes the moduli space of flat \(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb C)\)-connections on the Lawson minimal surface of genus \(2\). He generalizes these methods to the case of other CMC and minimal surfaces with the same holomorphic symmetries as the Lawson surface but of different conformal type. Moreover, he investigates the space of isospectral deformations of compact minimal surface of genus \(g \geq 2\).
