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

Abstract: For all open Riemann surface M and real number $hetain(0,pi/4),$ we construct a conformal minimal immersion $X=(X_1,X_2,X_3):Momathbb{R}^3$ such that $X_3+an(heta)|X_1|:MomathbbR$ is positive and proper. Furthermore, $X$ can be chosen with arbitrarily prescribed flux map. Moreover, we produce properly immersed hyperbolic minimal surfaces with non empty boundary in $mathbb{R}^3$ lying above a negative sublinear graph.

Review text

The authors give a construction, applicable to any open Riemann surface \(\mathcal N\) and any real number \(\theta\) with \(0< \theta < \pi/2\), of a minimal immersion NEWLINE\[NEWLINEX=(X_1,X_2,X_3):{\mathcal N}\to{\mathbb R}^3NEWLINE\]NEWLINE for which the real-valued function \(X_3+ \tan(\theta)|X_1|\) is positive and proper. Additionally, the flux map of \(X\) may be arbitrarily prescribed. A corollary of this result is that any open Riemann surface \(\mathcal N\) admits a conformal minimal immersion \(X\) into \({\mathbb R}^3\) such that \((X_1,X_3)\) is a proper harmonic map. The main tools used by the authors come from the theory of approximation by meromorphic functions \textit{H. L. Royden}, [J. Anal. Math. 18, 295--327 (1967; Zbl 0153.39801)], [\textit{S. Scheinberg}, Ann. Math. (2) 108, 257--298 (1978; Zbl 0423.30035), Math. Ann. 243, 83--93 (1979; Zbl 0393.30031)].
