Minimal Surfaces
Description:... This book contains recent results from a group focusing on minimal
surfaces in the Moscow State University seminar on modern geometrical
methods, headed by A. V. Bolsinov, A. T. Fomenko, and V. V. Trofimov.
The papers collected here fall into three areas: one-dimensional
minimal graphs on Riemannian surfaces and the Steiner problem,
two-dimensional minimal surfaces and surfaces of constant mean
curvature in three-dimensional Euclidean space, and multidimensional
globally minimal and harmonic surfaces in Riemannian manifolds. The
volume opens with an exposition of several important problems in the
modern theory of minimal surfaces that will be of interest to newcomersto the field. Prepared with attention to clarity and accessibility,
these papers will appeal to mathematicians, physicists, and other
researchers interested in the application of geometrical methods to
specific problems.
