Minimal surfaces in \(\mathbb{R}^ 3\) with dihedral symmetry (Q1893801)

The author constructs a collection of complete immersed minimal surfaces with catenoidal ends and a large number of symmetries. For special cases he obtains classification results. Existence is proved by an extended version of the conjugate surface construction. His surfaces may be seen as extensions of known triply periodic minimal surfaces, which have a fundamental domain in a convex polyhedron and circular-like boundary curves at the polyhedron's faces, by extending the circular-like boundary curves to infinity. This is reflected in the underlying existence proof.
