Minimal surfaces | Differential geometry

Catalan's minimal surface

In differential geometry, Catalan's minimal surface is a minimal surface originally studied by Eugène Charles Catalan in 1855. It has the special property of being the minimal surface that contains a cycloid as a geodesic. It is also swept out by a family of parabolae. The surface has the mathematical characteristics exemplified by the following parametric equation: (Wikipedia).

F. Coda Marques - Morse theory and the volume spectrum

In this talk I will survey recent developments on the existence theory of closed minimal hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds, including a Morse-theoretic existence result for the generic case.

Complex surfaces 2: Minimal surfaces

This talk is part of a series about complex surfaces, and explains what minimal surfaces are. A minimial surfaces is one that cannot be obtained by blowing up a nonsingular surfaces at a point. We explain why every surface is birational to a minimal nonsingular projective surface. We disc

L. Mazet - Minimal hypersurfaces of least area

In this talk, I will present a joint work with H. Rosenberg where we give a characterization of the minimal hypersurface of least area in any Riemannian manifold. As a consequence, we give a lower bound for the area of a minimal surface in a hyperbolic 3-manifold.

L. Mazet - Some aspects of minimal surface theory (Part 1)

In a Riemannian 3-manifold, minimal surfaces are critical points of the area functional and can be a useful tool to understand the geometry and the topology of the ambient manifold. The aim of these lectures is to give some basic definitions about minimal surface theory and present some re

MATH331: Riemann Surfaces - part 1

We define what a Riemann Surface is. We show that PP^1 is a Riemann surface an then interpret our crazy looking conditions from a previous video about "holomorphicity at infinity" as coming from the definition of a Riemann Surface.

We consider a generalization of Young tableaux in which we allow some consecutive pairs of cells with decreasing labels, conveniently visualized by a ”wall” between the corresponding cells. This leads to new classes of recurrences, and to a surprisingly rich zoo of generating functions (al
