Abstract: We construct a weakly complete flat surface in hyperbolic 3-space having a pair of hyperbolic Gauss maps both of whose images are contained in an arbitrarily given open disc in the ideal boundary of H^3. This construction is accomplished as an application of the minimal surface theory. This looks an interesting phenomenon if one comparing the fact that there are no complete minimal (resp. constant mean curvature one) surfaces in R^3 (resp. H^3) having bounded Gauss maps (resp. bounded hyperbolic Gauss maps).

Review text

The following important result is established: There exists a weakly complete flat front in hyperbolic 3-space whose induced pair of hyperbolic Gauss maps have images contained in an arbitrary given open disk in the ideal boundary of the hyperbolic 3-space. A problem which is an analogue of the known Calabi-Yau problem in the theory of minimal surfaces is considered. Namely: Is there a bounded holomorphic Legendrian curve immersed in \(\mathbb C^3\) which is complete with respect to the canonical Hermitian metric of \(\mathbb C\)?
