Bifurcation of constant mean curvature tori in Euclidean spheres (Q1948730): Difference between revisions

At the usage of equivariant bifurcation theory, the authors study the existence of constant mean curvature (CMC) embeddings of the torus \(\mathbb{S}^j \times\mathbb{S}^{m-j}\) into the sphere \(\mathbb{S}^{m+1}\) for arbitrary \(1\leq j <m\). It is shown the existence of a two-parameter family of CMC surfaces with special spherical symmetry in \(\mathbb{S}^{3}\), divided into five types: spheres, clifford tori, catenoid type, unduloid- type, noduloid-type. By this it is given an interesting analog with classic Delaunay classification of rotationally symmetric CMC surfaces in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\).
