Seminario di algebra e geometria
I will give a survey of some of the exciting progress in
the classical theory of surfaces M in 3-manifolds with constant mean
curvature H greater than or equal to zero; we call such a surface an
H-surface. The talk will cover the following topics:
1. The classification of properly embedded genus 0 minimal surfaces in
R^3. (joint with Perez and Ros)
2. The theorem that for any c>0, there exists a constant K=K(c) such
that for H>c, and any compact embedded H-disk D in R^3 (joint with
Tinaglia):
(a) the radius of D is less than K.
(b) the norm of the second fundamental form of D is less than K
for any points of D of intrinsic distance at least c from the
the boundary of D is less than K.
(c) item 2(b) works for any compact embedded H-disk (H>c) in
any complete homogeneous 3-manifold with absolute sectional curvature
less than 1 for the same K.
3 For c>0, there exists a constant K such that for any complete
embedded H-surface M with injectivity radius greater than c>0 in
a Riemannian 3-manifold with absolute sectional curvature
<1 has the norm of its second fundamental form less than K.

(a) Complete embedded finite topology H-surfaces in R^3 have
positive injectivity radius and are properly embedded with
bounded curvature.
(b) Complete embedded simply connected H-surfaces in R^3 are
spheres, planes and helicoids; complete embedded H-annuli
are catenoids and Delaunay surfaces.
(c) Complete embedded simply-connected and annular H-surfaces
in H^3 with H less than or equal to 1 are spheres and
horospheres, catenoids and Hsiang surfaces of revolution;
the key fact here is that complete + connected implies proper.
3. Classification of the conformal structure and asymptotic behavior
of complete injective H-annuli f:S^1 x [0,1)--->R^3;
there is a 2-parameter family of different structures for
H=0. (joint with Perez when H=0)
4. Solution of the classical proper Calabi-Yau problem for arbitrary
topology (even with disjoint limit sets for distinct ends!!).
