Examples of complete minimal surfaces properly embedded in H^2 x R have been extensively studied and the literature contains a plethora of nontrivial ones. In this paper we construct a large class of examples of complete minimal surfaces embedded in H^2 x R, not necessarily proper, which are invariant by a vertical tra…

There exists a properly embedded minimal surface of genus one with one end. The end is asymptotic to the end of the helicoid. This genus one helicoid is constructed as the limit of a continuous one-parameter family of screw-motion invariant minimal surfaces--also asymptotic to the helicoid--that have genus equal to one…

For each integer m>1 and l>0 we construct a pair of compact embedded minimal surfaces of genus 1+4m(m-1)l. These surfaces desingularize the m Clifford tori meeting each other along a great circle at the angle of π/m. They are invariant under a finite group of screw motions and have no reflection symmetry across a great…

Classifies surfaces with zero mean curvature in a light cone.

We prove that a primitive harmonic map is equivariant if and only if it admits a holomorphic potential of degree one. We investigate when the equivariant harmonic map is periodic, and as an application discuss constant mean curvature cylinders with screw motion symmetries.

In this paper, we are concerned with hypersurfaces in $H^n\times R$ with constant r-mean curvature, to be called $H_r$-hypersurfaces. We construct examples of complete $H_r$-hypersurfaces which are invariant by parabolic screw motion or by rotation. We prove that there is a unique rotational strictly convex entire $H_r…

The class of traveling wave solutions of the sine-Gordon equation is known to be in 1-1 correspondence with the class of (necessarily singular) pseudospherical surfaces in Euclidean space with screw-motion symmetry: the pseudospherical helicoids. We explicitly describe all pseudospherical helicoids in terms of elliptic…

Up to isomorphism there are six fixed-point free crystallographic groups in Euclidean Space generated by twists (screw motions). In each case, an orientable 3-manifold is obtained as the quotient of E3 by such a group. The cubic tessellation of E3 induces tessellations on each such manifold. These tessellations of the …

We give an infinite dimensional generalized Weierstrass representation for spacelike constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in Minkowski 3-space $\real^{2,1}$. The formulation is analogous to that given by Dorfmeister, Pedit and Wu for CMC surfaces in Euclidean space, replacing the group $SU_2$ with $SU_{1,1}$. The non…

We develop a conservation law for constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces introduced by Korevaar, Kusner and Solomon, and provide a converse, so as to characterize CMC surfaces by a conservation law. We work with `twizzler' construction, which applies a screw-motion to some base curve. We show that, excluding cylinders,…

Our goal is to generalize the Choe-Hoppe helicoid and Clifford cones in Euclidean space. By sweeping out $L$ indpendent Clifford cones in ${\mathbb{R}}^{2N+2}$ via the multi-screw motion, we construct minimal submanifolds in ${\mathbb{R}}^{L(2N+2)+1}$. Also, we sweep out the $L$-rays Clifford cone (introduced in Sectio…

New polynomial invariant distinguishes singular links.

We show that the perturbative ${\frak g}$ invariant of rational homology 3-spheres can be recovered from the LMO invariant for any simple Lie algebra ${\frak g}$, i.e, the LMO invariant is universal among the perturbative invariants. This universality was conjectured in [25]. Since the perturbative invariants dominate …

Paper introduces a new invariant for virtual knotoids and proves it's a Vassiliev invariant of order one.

We construct two knot invariants. The first knot invariant is a sum constructed using linking numbers. The second is an invariant of flat knots and is a formal sum of flat knots obtained by smoothing pairs of crossings. This invariant can be used in conjunction with other flat invariants, forming a family of invariants…

As nilpotent studies in knot theory, we focus on invariants of Milnor, Orr, and Kontsevich. We show that the Orr invariant of degree $k$ is equivalent to the tree reduction of the Kontsevich invariant of degree $< 2k$. Furthermore, we will see a close relation between the Orr invariant and the Milnor invariant, and …

Formula connects surface and curve invariants via slice transitions.

In this article we introduce a family of transverse invariants arising from the deformations of Khovanov homology. This family includes the invariants introduced by Plamenevskaya and by Lipshitz, Ng, and Sarkar. Then, we investigate the invariants arising from Bar-Natan's deformation. These invariants, called $β$-invar…

New concordance invariants phi and phi_j are defined and studied.

We recall the definition of the quadratic helicity invariant and of the higher asymptotic ergodic $M$-invariant. We present a simpler new proof (in part) that the $M$-invariant is ergodic. The $M$-invariant is a higher invariant, this means that for the magnetic field with closed magnetic lines the invariant is not a f…

New invariants for singular knots and links defined using shadow structures.

We discuss an universal bordism invariant obtained from the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer eta-invariant from the analytic and homotopy theoretic point of view. Classical invariants like the Adams e-invariant, $ρ$-invariants and $String$-bordism invariants are derived as special cases. The main results are a secondary index theo…

The study explores knot invariants using roots of unity.

We consider Milnor invariants for certain covering links as a generalization of covering linkage invariants formulated by R. Hartley and K. Murasugi. A set of Milnor invariants for covering links is a cobordism invariant of a link, and that this invariant can distinguish some links for which the ordinary Milnor invaria…

The universal sl_2 invariant of string links has a universality property for the colored Jones polynomial of links, and takes values in the h-adic completed tensor powers of the quantized enveloping algebra of sl_2. In this paper, we exhibit explicit relationships between the universal sl_2 invariant and Milnor invaria…
