A Brunn-Minkowski theory for minimal surfaces (Q1765981)

This paper deals with the extension to minimal surfaces of notions and techniques from the Brunn-Minkowski theory. The author (i) gives new geometric inequalities for minimal surfaces of \(\mathbb R^3\); (ii) studies the relation between support functions and Enneper-Weierstrass representations; (iii) introduces and investigates a new type of addition for minimal surfaces; (iv) extends notions and techniques from the classical Brunn-Minkowski theory to minimal surfaces. Moreover, two characterizations of the catenoid among minimal hedgehogs are shown.
