Minimal surfaces with given boundaries are the solutions of Plateau's problem. In studying the calculus of variations for the minimal surfaces, the functional ${\varepsilon}$, corresponding to the energy of surfaces, is introduced in [Ki09]. In this paper we derive a formula for the second derivative of ${\varepsilon}$, which is necessary for further theories of the calculus of variations.

In this article we consider axes of a complete embedded minimal surface in $R^3$ of finite total curvature, and then prove that there is no planar ends at which the Gauss map have the minimum branching order if the minimal surface has a single axis.

In this work, we introduce the complete Riemannian manifold $\mathbb{F}_3$ which is a three-dimensional real vector space endowed with a conformally flat metric that is a solution of the Einstein equation. We obtain a second order nonlinear ordinary differential equation that characterizes the helicoidal minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{F}_3$. We show that the helicoid is a complete minimal surface in $\mathbb{F}_3$. Moreover we obtain a local solution of this differential equation which is a two-parameter family of functions ${\lambda}_h,K_2$ explicitly given by an integral and defined on an open interval. Consequently, we show that the helicoidal motion applied on the curve defined from ${\lambda}_h,K_2$ gives a two-parameter family of helicoidal minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{F}_3$.

We classify minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}}^3$ which are foliated by circles and ruled constant mean curvature (cmc) surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}}^3$. First we show that minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}}^3$ which are foliated by circles are either ruled (that is, foliated by geodesics) or rotationally symmetric (that is, invariant under an isometric ${\mathbb{S}}^1$-action which fixes a geodesic). Secondly, we show that, locally, there is only one ruled cmc surface in ${\mathbb{S}}^3$ up to isometry for each nonnegative mean curvature. We give a parametrization of the ruled cmc surface in ${\mathbb{S}}^3$(cf. Theorem 3).

Catenoid and Riemann's minimal surface are foliated by circles, that is, they are union of circles. In $\mathbb{R}^3$, there is no other nonplanar example of circle-foliated minimal surfaces. In $\mathbb{R}^4$, the graph $G_c$ of w = c/z for real constant c and ${\zeta}{\in}\mathbb{C}{\backslash}\{0}$ is also foliated by circles. In this paper, we show that every circle-foliated minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}$ is either a catenoid or Riemann's minimal surface in some 3-dimensional Affine subspace or a graph surface $G_c$ in some 4-dimensional Affine subspace. We use the property that $G_c$ is circle-foliated to construct circle-foliated minimal surfaces in $S^4$ and $H^4$.

Maximal surfaces have a prominent place in the field of differential geometry, captivating researchers with their intriguing properties. Bearing a direct analogy to the minimal surfaces in Euclidean space, investigating both their similarities and differences has long been an important issue. This paper is aimed to give a local characterization of maximal surfaces in 𝕃³ in terms of their geodesic curvatures, which is analogous to the minimal surface case presented in [8]. We present a classification of the maximal surfaces under some simple condition on the geodesic curvatures of the parameter curves in the line of curvature coordinates.

It is well known that the helicoids are the only ruled minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$. The similar characterization for ruled minimal surfaces can be given in many other 3-dimensional homogeneous spaces. In this note we consider the product space $M{\times}{\mathbb{R}}$ for a 2-dimensional manifold M and prove that $M{\times}{\mathbb{R}}$ has a nontrivial minimal surface ruled by horizontal geodesics only when M has a Clairaut parametrization. Moreover such minimal surface is the trace of the longitude rotating in M while translating vertically in constant speed in the direction of ${\mathbb{R}}$.

We provide definitions for the helicoidal Killing field and the helicoid in arbitrary three-manifolds, and investigate helicoids and ruled minimal surfaces in homogeneous three-manifolds, mainly in $SL_2{\mathbb{R}}$ and Sol(3). In so doing we finish our classification of ruled minimal surfaces in homogeneous three-manifolds with the isometry group of dimension 4.
