Dressing CMC \(n\)-noids (Q1434201)

This paper deals with the construction of constant mean curvature (CMC) \(n\)-noids with bubbletons. The term ``bubbleton'' arose from the study of Sievert's classical examples of constant Gauss curvature surfaces. The CMC parallel surfaces to Sievert's are the single bubbletons [cf. \textit{U. Pinkall} and \textit{I. Sterling}, Ann. Math. (2) 130, No. 2, 407--451 (1989; Zbl 0683.53053)]. In this paper, the authors use a specific class of dressing matrices, which in many known cases add bubbletons to a CMC surface. Then many new surfaces were obtained by dressing known \(n\)-noids with embedded Delaunay ends by well chosen simple factor dressing matrices in such a way that the dressing surface is also a CMC \(n\)-noid. The paper includes a few graphics to indicate the kind of surfaces constructed by the authors. Moreover, a list of open problems and ideas for directions of future research is given.
