Abstract

We study a genus-three hyperelliptic holomorphic null-curve family in $\mathbb{C}^4$, modelled on the algebraic data of the classical Schwarz P/D family, whose real parts define minimal immersions into $\mathbb{R}^4$. For the order-four automorphism $\omega\mapsto i\omega$ of the underlying Schwarz curve, we compute explicitly its action on the four holomorphic Weierstrass $1$-forms and derive the resulting identities for all real period vectors. Consequently, for every lattice invariant under the induced target rotation, torus-period closure can be checked on one representative from each orbit of a symmetry-stable homology generating set. We also identify precisely when the additional parameter produces a nondegenerate codimension-two deformation. The paper does not claim the construction of a new embedded periodic minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^4$; rather, it provides an explicit symmetry reduction of the period problem associated with this family.

Examples of $\mathbb{Z}/2$-Harmonic 1-Forms

In this paper, we develop methods for constructing $\mathbb{Z}/2$-harmonic 1-forms in dimension three by varying the background metric. On $\mathbb{R}^3$, we construct an example for which the complement of the smooth locus in the singular set is a Cantor set. We realize every finite graph with positive even valence at...

Non-maximal quasi-isometric $\mathrm{PU}_{2,n+1}$-representations via alternating surfaces in complex pseudo-hyperbolic spaces

For every admissible non-maximal Toledo invariant $t$, we construct a locus of irreducible representations of a closed genus-$g$ surface group into $\mathrm{PU}_{2,n+1}$ with Toledo invariant $t$ whose orbit maps are quasi-isometric embeddings. These loci have real codimension $10(g-1)$ or $10(g-1)+2(n-1)$ in the chara...

Minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ with finite total curvature and embedded ends

In this paper we study the global geometry and classification of complete minimal surfaces with embedded ends and finite total curvature in the product space $\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$. We describe the structure of embedded ends of such surfaces, constraining the combinatorics of their asymptotic polygons at infi...

Harmonic Maps from Punctured Riemann Surfaces to the Hyperbolic Plane with Prescribed Scherk Asymptotics

Let $X$ be a genus $g\geq 0$ compact Riemann surface that admits an antiholomorphic involution $\iota$ with non empty fixed-point set, and let $D = \{p_1,\dots,p_k\}\subset \text{Fix}(\iota)$. At each puncture, we prescribe a Scherk map associated to a given real polynomial quadratic differential with even degree and n...

Geometric finiteness in paracomplex hyperbolic spaces

We develop a framework for studying discrete subgroups of $\mathsf{PGL}(d+1,\mathbb{R})$ via the paracomplex hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}_\tau^d$, a rank-$1$ pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space. We characterize projective transverse, relatively Anosov, and Anosov subgroups in terms of properly discontinuous, geometricall...

New Inhomogeneous Nearly $\mathrm{G}_2$-metric on the Berger Space and a Sine Cone Desingularisation

Nearly $\mathrm{G}_2$ manifolds are positive Einstein seven-dimensional manifolds whose associated cone metric has special holonomy equal to, or contained in, $\mathrm{Spin}(7)$. We study nearly parallel $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures invariant under a cohomogeneity-one action of $\mathrm{SO}(4)$, and construct the first in...
