Review text

In this paper the authors study a family of generalized Chen-Gackstatter surfaces which have been discovered by \textit{E. C. Thayer} [Exp. Math. 4, 29-39 (1995; Zbl 0855.53006)]. Thus, they characterize these surfaces from amongst all the other minimal surfaces with the same topology, symmetry and total curvature. As a consequence the authors prove that the genus-two Chen-Gackstatter example is the unique complete, orientable minimal surface of genus two in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) with total curvature \(-12\pi\) and eight symmetries.
