Minimal surfaces in differential geometry, surfaces with prescribed mean curvature (53A10)

Abstract: Starting from works by Scherk (1835) and by Enneper-Weierstrass (1863), new minimal surfaces with Scherk ends were found only in 1988 by Karcher (see cite{Karcher1,Karcher}). In the singly periodic case, Karcher's examples of positive genera had been unique until Traizet obtained new ones in 1996 (see cite{Traizet}). However, Traizet's construction is implicit and excludes {it towers}, namely the desingularisation of more than two concurrent planes. Then, new explicit towers were found only in 2006 by Martin and Ramos Batista (see cite{Martin}), all of them with genus one. For genus two, the first such towers were constructed in 2010 (see cite{Valerio2}). Back to 2009, implicit towers of arbitrary genera were found in cite{HMM}. In our present work we obtain {it explicit} minimal Scherk saddle towers, for any given genus $2k$, $kge3$.
