Review text

In this seminar report the author sketches the method for the construction of constant mean curvature (= cmc) surfaces in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) which was divised by him, R. Mazzeo, and D. Pollack. The discussion starts with how to desingularize the union of two compact surfaces \(\Sigma_1, \Sigma_2\) with boundary of the same cmc \(H_0\) which at some point meet tangentially with normal vectors pointing in opposite directions. Assuming non-degeneracy of the \(\Sigma_i\) (i.e., injectivity of the corresponding Jacobi operators) the idea is to remove a small disc around the contact point from each of the surfaces \(\Sigma_i\) and then perturb these perforated surfaces in such a way that a small cylindrical neck may be glued in, yielding a connected smooth cmc surface close to \(\Sigma_1\cup \Sigma_2\). This neck is obtained by a similar perturbation of a suitably scaled piece of the catenoid. The perturbation procedures are rather delicate and, in the case of the \(\Sigma_i\) proceed in two steps, the first step involving a normal perturbation proportional to the Green functions belonging to the Jacobi operators of the \(\Sigma_i\), as well as translations and rotations. In a further section of the paper the author describes the application of the method to noncompact cmc surfaces. Here, the ends of Delaunay surfaces (rotational cmc surfaces) are glued to the catenoidal ends of a suitably scaled complete finite total curvature minimal surface which possesses only catenoidal ends. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0929.00011].
