The generalized Weierstrass representation is used to analyze the asymptotic behavior of a constant mean curvature surface that arises locally from an ordinary differential equation with a regular singularity. We prove that a holomorphic perturbation of an ODE that represents a Delaunay surface generates a constant mea…

New method constructs surfaces with constant mean curvature.

We construct large families of initial data sets for the vacuum Einstein equations with positive cosmological constant which contain exactly Delaunay ends; these are non-trivial initial data sets which coincide with those for the Kottler-Schwarzschild-de Sitter metrics in regions of infinite extent. From the purely Rie…

We consider constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ arising via the DPW method from a holomorphic perturbation of the standard Delaunay potential on the punctured disk. Kilian, Rossman and Schmitt have proven that such a surface is asymptotic to a Delaunay surface. We consider families of such potentials p…

We construct a new five parameter family of constant mean curvature trinoids with two asymptotically Delaunay ends and one irregular end.

For all $m \in \mathbb N - \{0\}$, we prove the existence of a one dimensional family of genus $m$, constant mean curvature (equal to 1) surfaces which are complete, immersed in $\mathbb R^3$ and have two Delaunay ends asymptotic to nodoïdal ends. Moreover, these surfaces are invariant under the group of isometries of …

In this paper we produce families of complete non compact Riemannian metrics with positive constant $σ_k$-curvature by performing the connected sum of a finite number of given $n$-dimensional Delaunay type solutions, provided $2 \leq 2k < n$. The problem is equivalent to solve a second order fully nonlinear elliptic eq…

We combine the DPW method and Opening Nodes to construct embedded surfaces of positive constant mean curvature with Delaunay ends in euclidean space, with no limitation to the genus or number of ends.

This paper constructs a family of constant mean curvature immersions of the thrice-punctured Riemann sphere into Euclidean 3-space with asymptotically Delaunay ends via loop group methods.

It has been showed by Byde that it is possible to attach a Delaunay-type end to a compact nondegenerate manifold of positive constant scalar curvature, provided it is locally conformally flat in a neighborhood of the attaching point. The resulting manifold is noncompact with the same constant scalar curvature. The main…

We present a gluing construction which adds, via a localized deformation, exactly Delaunay ends to generic metrics with constant positive scalar curvature. This provides time-symmetric initial data sets for the vacuum Einstein equations with positive cosmological constant with exactly Kottler-Schwarzschild-de Sitter en…

We construct a new class of complete constant mean curvature surfaces in R^3. These are geometrically different than the surfaces constructed by Kapouleas' gluing technique. These are obtained by piecing together half-Delaunay surfaces to the truncations of minimal k-noids. The gluing techniques are new: the surfaces a…

Study circle patterns and polyhedral surfaces in hyperbolic ends, proving manifold properties.

We show the existence of several new families of non-compact constant mean curvature surfaces: (i) singly-punctured surfaces of arbitrary genus $g \geq 1$, (ii) doubly-punctured tori, and (iii) doubly periodic surfaces with Delaunay ends.

We construct higher genus Riemann's minimal surfaces properly embedded in the Euclidean space. To do that we glue end by end a Costa-Hoffman-Meeks examples to two halves genus zero Riemann's minimal surfaces. In first we need to perform a deformation of a Costa-Hoffman-Meeks example to prescribe the flux vector along t…

In 1841, Delaunay constructed the embedded surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature (CMC); these unduloids have genus zero and are now known to be the only embedded CMC surfaces with two ends and finite genus. Here, we construct the complete family of embedded CMC surfaces with three ends and genus zero; the…

Convex iso-Delaunay regions found in flat surface strata.

New types of Delaunay hypersurfaces found in spheres.

Delaunay has shown that the Delaunay complex of a finite set of points $P$ of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^m$ triangulates the convex hull of $P$, provided that $P$ satisfies a mild genericity property. Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay complexes can be defined for arbitrary Riemannian manifolds. However, Delaunay's generic…

Given a lattice L of R^n, a polytope D is called a Delaunay polytope in L if the set of its vertices is S\cap L where S is a sphere having no lattice points in its interior. D is called perfect if the only ellipsoid in R^n that contains S\cap L is exactly S. For a vector v of the Leech lattice Λ_{24} we define Λ_{24}(v…

Improved rigidity of Delaunay triangulated plane.

The study identifies unique Delaunay surfaces with constant mean curvature.

Classical Delaunay surfaces are highly symmetric constant mean curvature (CMC) submanifolds of space forms. We prove the existence of Delaunay-type hypersurfaces in a large class of compact manifolds, using the geometry of cohomogeneity one group actions and variational bifurcation techniques. Our construction speciali…

Given a finite set of points in $\mathbb R^n$ and a radius parameter, we study the Čech, Delaunay-Čech, Delaunay (or Alpha), and Wrap complexes in the light of generalized discrete Morse theory. Establishing the Čech and Delaunay complexes as sublevel sets of generalized discrete Morse functions, we prove that the four…

In this paper we give the precise index growth for the embedded hypersurfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature (cmc) 1 in $\R^{n}$ (Delaunay unduloids). When $n=3$, using the asymptotics result of Korevaar, Kusner and Solomon, we derive an explicit asymptotic index growth rate for finite topology cmc 1 surfac…

In the following article we discuss Delaunay triangulations for a point cloud on an embedded surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We give sufficient conditions on the point cloud to show that the diagonal switch algorithm finds an embedded Delaunay triangulation.

We consider circle packings and, more generally, Delaunay circle patterns - arrangements of circles arising from a Delaunay decomposition of a finite set of points - on surfaces equipped with a complex projective structure. Motivated by a conjecture of Kojima, Mizushima and Tan, we prove that the forgetful map sending …

We use a variational principle to prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for planar weighted Delaunay triangulations (with non-intersecting site-circles) with prescribed combinatorial type and circle intersection angles. Such weighted Delaunay triangulations may be interpreted as images of hyperbolic polyhedra with …

We propose a differentiable nonparametric algorithm, the Delaunay triangulation learner (DTL), to solve the functional approximation problem on the basis of a $p$-dimensional feature space. By conducting the Delaunay triangulation algorithm on the data points, the DTL partitions the feature space into a series of $p$-d…

Minimal Delaunay triangulations on hyperbolic surfaces have linear number of vertices.

We construct minimal surfaces in hyperbolic and anti-de Sitter 3-space with the topology of a $n$-punctured sphere by loop group factorization methods. The end behavior of the surfaces is based on the asymptotics of Delaunay-type surfaces, i.e., rotational symmetric minimal cylinders. The minimal surfaces in $\mathrm{H…

The paper constructs solutions to a critical Dirac equation on spheres.

In this article we provide a general construction when $n\ge3$ for immersed in Euclidean $(n+1)$-space, complete, smooth, constant mean curvature hypersurfaces of finite topological type (in short CMC $n$-hypersurfaces). More precisely our construction converts certain graphs in Euclidean $(n+1)$-space to CMC $n$-hyper…

A finite subset S of a closed hyperbolic surface F canonically determines a "centered dual decomposition" of F: a cell structure with vertex set S, geodesic edges, and 2-cells that are unions of the corresponding Delaunay polygons. Unlike a Delaunay polygon, a centered dual 2-cell Q is not determined by its collection …

We show that the of 2-lobed Delaunay tori are stable as constrained Willmore surfaces in the 3-sphere.

Given a Delaunay decomposition of a compact hyperbolic surface, one may record the topological data of the decomposition, together with the intersection angles between the `empty disks' circumscribing the regions of the decomposition. The main result of this paper is a characterization of when a given topological decom…

Study classifies metrics on a twice-punctured sphere, proving Delaunay metrics are complete.

A Delaunay decomposition is a cell decomposition in R^d for which each cell is inscribed in a Euclidean ball which is empty of all other vertices. This article introduces a generalization of the Delaunay decomposition in which the Euclidean balls in the empty ball condition are replaced by other families of regions bou…

No compact surfaces with specific curvature can exist near singular limits.

In his seminal 1951 paper "Extreme forms" Coxeter \cite{cox51} observed that for $n \ge 9$ one can add vectors to the perfect lattice $\sfA_9$ so that the resulting perfect lattice, called $\sfA_9^2$ by Coxeter, has exactly the same set of minimal vectors. An inhomogeneous analog of the notion of perfect lattice is tha…

We use the DPW method to obtain the associate family of Delaunay surfaces and derive a formula for the neck size of the surface in terms of the entries of the holomorphic potential.
