The paper classifies harmonic and biharmonic submersions from Sol space.

Virtual reality explores non-Euclidean Sol geometry.

In this paper, we study biharmonic maps into Sol and Nil spaces, two model spaces of Thurston's 3-dimensional geometries. We characterize non-geodesic biharmonic curves in Sol space and prove that there exists no non-geodesic biharmonic helix in Sol space. We also show that a linear map from a Euclidean space into Sol …

In this paper, we give complete classifications of linear $\infty$-harmonic maps between Euclidean and Heisenberg spaces, between Nil and Sol spaces. We also classify all $\infty$-harmonic linear endomorphisms of Sol space and show that there is a subgroup of $\infty$-harmonic linear automorphisms in the group of linea…

In the homogeneous space Sol$_3$, a translation surface is parameterized by $x(s,t)=α(s)\astβ(t)$, where $α$ and $β$ are curves contained in coordinate planes and $\ast$ denotes the group operation of Sol$_3$. In this paper we study translation surfaces in Sol$_3$ whose mean curvature vanishes.

Survey on four-dimensional Thurston geometries with Riemannian metrics.

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group and $Γ\subset G$ a lattice. Connection curves of the homogeneous space $M=G/Γ$ are the orbits of one parameter subgroups of $G$. To $block$ a pair of points $m_1,m_2 \in M$ is to find a finite set $B \subset M\setminus \{m_1, m_2 \}$ such that every connecting curve joining $m_1$ and $m…

In this paper, we study the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surface equation in $\rm Sol_3$ with possible infinite boundary data, where $\rm Sol_3$ is the non-abelian solvable $3$-dimensional Lie group equipped with its usual left-invariant metric that makes it into a model space for one of the eight Thurston geometr…

The normal Gauss map of a minimal surface in the model space Sol of solvegeometry is a harmonic map with respect to a certain singular Riemannian metric on the extended complex plane.

We prove some half-space theorems for minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg group Nil_3 and the Lie group Sol_3 endowed with their left-invariant Riemannian metrics. If S is a properly immersed minimal surface in Nil_3 that lies on one side of some entire minimal graph G, then S is the image of G by a vertical translation…

In this paper we study surfaces foliated by a uniparametric family of circles in the homogeneous space Sol$_3$. We prove that there do not exist such surfaces with zero mean curvature or with zero Gaussian curvature. We extend this study considering surfaces foliated by geodesics, equidistant lines or horocycles in tot…

We classify the translators to the mean curvature flow in the three-dimensional solvable group $Sol_3$ that are invariant under the action of a one-parameter group of isometries of the ambient space. In particular we show that $Sol_3$ admits graphical translators defined on a half-plane, in contrast with a rigidity res…

A surface in homogenous space Sol is said to be an invariant surface if it is invariant under some of the two 1-parameter groups of isometries of the ambient space whose fix point sets are totally geodesic surfaces. In this work we study invariant surfaces that satisfy a certain condition on their curvatures. We classi…

Researchers found the minimum number of tetrahedra needed to triangulate elliptic and sol 3-manifolds.

In the present paper we give a geometric proof for the existence of cylinders with constant mean curvature $H>H(X)$ in certain simply connected homogeneous three-manifolds $X$ diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^3$, which always admit a Lie group structure. Here, $H(X)$ denotes the critical value for which constant mean curva…

The purpose of this paper is to classify all compact manifolds modeled on the 4-dimensional solvable Lie group $Sol_1^4$. The maximal compact subgroup of $Isom(Sol_1^4)$ is $D_4=\mathbb Z_4\rtimes\mathbb Z_2$. We shall exhibit an infra-solvmanifold with $Sol_1^4$-geometry whose holonomy is $D_4$. This implies that all …

The paper classifies homogeneous hypersurfaces in three 4D Thurston geometries.

In homogenous space Sol we study compact surfaces with constant mean curvature and with non-empty boundary. We ask how the geometry of the boundary curve imposes restrictions over all possible configurations that the surface can adopt. We obtain a flux formula and we establish results that assert that, under some restr…

In Sol$_3$ space there are three uniparametric groups of isometries. In this work we study constant mean curvature surfaces invariant by one of these groups. We analyze the geometric properties of these surfaces by means of their computer graphics. We construct explicit examples of minimal surfaces and we shall relate …

The paper classifies hypersurfaces in a specific 4D geometry.

Let Sol be the three-dimensional solvable Lie group equipped with its standard left-invariant Riemannian metric. We give a precise description of the cut locus of the identity, and a maximal domain in the Lie algebra on which the Riemannian exponential map is a diffeomorphism. As a consequence, we prove that the metric…

In this paper we classify all surfaces in the 3-dimensional Lie group $Sol_3$ whose normals make constant angle with a left invariant vector field.

We study the classification of immersed constant mean curvature (CMC) spheres in the homogeneous Riemannian 3-manifold Sol_3, i.e., the only Thurston 3-dimensional geometry where this problem remains open. Our main result states that, for every H>1/(\sqrt{3}), there exists a unique (up to left translations) immersed CM…

In this paper, which is the continuation of [EFW2], we complete the proof of the quasi-isometric rigidity of Sol and the lamplighter groups. The results were announced in [EFW1].

We obtain an asymptotic formula for the spectrum distribution function of the Laplace operator on a compact Riemannian Sol-manifold in the adiabatic limit determined by a one-dimensional foliation defined by the orbits of a left-invariant flow.

The invariant measured foliations of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism induce a natural (singular) Sol structure on mapping tori of surfaces with pseudo-Anosov monodromy. We show that when the pseudo-Anosov $φ:S\rightarrow S$ has orientable foliations and does not have 1 as an eigenvalue of the induced cohomology action on…

The Lie group Sol(p,q) is the semidirect product induced by the action of the real numbers R on the plane R^2 which is given by (x,y) --> (exp{p z} x, exp{-q z} y), where z is in R. Viewing Sol(p,q) as a 3-dimensional manifold, it carries a natural Riemannian metric and Laplace-Beltrami operator. We add a linear drift …

The simple loop conjecture for 3-manifolds states that every 2-sided immersion of a closed surface into a 3-manifold is either injective on fundamental groups or admits a compression. This can be viewed as a generalization of the Loop Theorem to immersed surfaces. We prove the conjecture in the case that the target 3-m…
