Complete and compact minimal surfaces

From MaRDI portal





There have been many exciting recent developments in the theory of minimal surfaces in various Riemannian manifolds. In the present book the author tries to present some of these materials from a consistent perspective. In Chapter 1 complete minimal surfaces in \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) are studied. We find the theorem of Bernstein-Osserman-Fujimoto the theorem of Riemann- Roch and the construction of minimal immersions of punctured compact Riemann surfaces. According to a widespread current practice in the theory of minimal surfaces the author does not go to primary sources in some of his citations. In Chapters II, III and IV the target manifold is a compact Riemannian homogeneous space \((S^ n,{\mathbb{C}}P^ n,Q_ n)\). The works of Calabi, Chern, Lawson, Eells-Wood and Bryant are presented. This interesting book leads the reader up to Yang-Mills theory in Chapter V.
