Bifurcation of constant mean curvature tori in Euclidean spheres (Q1948730)

At the usage of equivariant bifurcation theory, the authors study the existence of constant mean curvature (CMC) embeddings of the torus \(\mathbb{S}^j \times\mathbb{S}^{m-j}\) into the sphere \(\mathbb{S}^{m+1}\) for arbitrary \(1\leq j <m\). It is shown the existence of a two-parameter family of CMC surfaces with special spherical symmetry in \(\mathbb{S}^{3}\), divided into five types: spheres, clifford tori, catenoid type, unduloid- type, noduloid-type. By this it is given an interesting analog with classic Delaunay classification of rotationally symmetric CMC surfaces in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\).
