Abstract: We study the space of Hopf differentials of almost fuchsian minimal immersions of compact Riemann surfaces. We show that the extrinsic curvature of the immersion at any given point is a concave function of the Hopf differential. As a consequence, we show that the set of all such Hopf differentials is a convex subset of the space of holomorphic quadratic differentials of the surface. In addition, we address the non-equivariant case, and obtain lower and upper bounds for the size of this set.
