Planar minimal surfaces with polynomial growth in the \mathrm{Sp}(4, \mathbb{R})-symmetric space

Publication date: 17 February 2020

Abstract: We study the asymptotic geometry of a family of conformally planar minimal surfaces with polynomial growth in the

m a t h r m S p (4, m a t h b b R)

-symmetric space. We describe a homeomomorphism between the "Hitchin component" of wild

m a t h r m S p (4, m a t h b b R)

-Higgs bundles over

m a t h b b {C P}^{1}

with a single pole at infinity and a component of maximal surfaces with light-like polygonal boundary in

m a t h b b H^{2, 2}

. Moreover, we identify those surfaces with convex embeddings into the Grassmannian of symplectic planes of

m a t h b b R^{4}

. We show, in addition, that our planar maximal surfaces are the local limits of equivariant maximal surfaces in

m a t h b b H^{2, 2}

associated to

m a t h r m S p (4, m a t h b b R)

-Hitchin representations along rays of holomorphic quartic differentials.
