Alexandrov immersed minimal tori in \(S^3\) (Q2448548)

This paper provides the proof of two results regarding Alexandrov immersions: {Theorem 1. } Let \(F: \Sigma \rightarrow S^3\) be an immersed minimal surface in \(S^3\) of genus \(1\). Moreover, suppose that \(F\) is an Alexandrov immersion; this means that there exists a compact manifold \(N\) and an immersion \(\bar{F}:N\rightarrow S^3\) such that \(\partial N=\Sigma \) and \(\bar{F}|_{\Sigma }=F\). Then \(\Sigma \) is rotationally symmetric. That is, we can find an anti-symmetric matrix \(Q\in \mathfrak{so}(4)\) of rank \(2\) such that \(QF(x)\in\mathrm{span}\{\frac{\partial F}{\partial x_1}(x), \frac{\partial F}{\partial x_2}(x)\}\) for all \(x\in \Sigma \). The second theorem states the same result for constant mean curvature Alexandrov immersions of the above type.
