Abstract: In hyperbolic 3-space $mathbb{H}^3$ surfaces of constant mean curvature $H$ come in three types, corresponding to the cases $0leqH<1$, $H=1$, $H>1$. Via the Lawson correspondence the latter two cases correspond to constant mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean 3-space $mathbb{E}^3$ with H=0 and $Heq0$, respectively. These surface classes have been investigated intensively in the literature. For the case $0leqH<1$ there is no Lawson correspondence in Euclidean space and there are relatively few publications. Examples have been difficult to construct. In this paper we present a generalized Weierstra{ss} type representation for surfaces of constant mean curvature in $mathbb{H}^3$ with particular emphasis on the case of mean curvature $0leqH<1$. In particular, the generalized Weierstra{ss} type representation presented in this paper enables us to construct simultaneously minimal surfaces (H=0) and non-minimal constant mean curvature surfaces ($0<H<1$).

Review text

This very-well written paper continues the research initiated in [the first author et al., Commun. Anal. Geom. 6, No. 4, 633--668 (1998; Zbl 0932.58018)] where the authors introduced a particular method, now called DPW, for the study of CMC surfaces in Euclidean 3-space. The DPW method employs loop groups. The aim of the present paper is to show that the DPW method works for CMC surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space too, provided \(H\in[0,1)\).
