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.

In this paper we give an upper bound of the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator on a complete stable minimal hypersurface M in the hyperbolic space which has finite $L^2$-norm of the second fundamental form on M. We provide some sufficient conditions for minimal hypersurface of the hyperbolic space to be stable. We also describe stability of catenoids and helicoids in the hyperbolic space. In particular, it is shown that there exists a family of stable higher-dimensional catenoids in the hyperbolic space.

Ruled submanifolds in Euclidean space satisfying some algebraic equations concerning the Laplace operator related to the isometric immersion and Gauss map are studied. Cylinders over a finite type curve or generalized helicoids are characterized with such algebraic equations.

We construct generalized Cauchy-Riemann equations of the first order for a pair of two ℝ-valued functions to deform a minimal graph in ℝ³ to the one parameter family of the two dimensional minimal graphs in ℝ⁴. We construct the two parameter family of minimal graphs in ℝ⁴, which include catenoids, helicoids, planes in ℝ³, and complex logarithmic graphs in ℂ². We present higher codimensional generalizations of Scherk's periodic minimal surfaces.

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 ${\mathbb{R}}$.

Using the complex parabolic rotations of holomorphic null curves in ℂ⁴ we transform minimal surfaces in Euclidean space ℝ³ to a family of degenerate minimal surfaces in Euclidean space ℝ⁴. Applying our deformation to holomorphic null curves in ℂ³ induced by helicoids in ℝ³, we discover new minimal surfaces in ℝ⁴ foliated by hyperbolas or straight lines. Applying our deformation to holomorphic null curves in ℂ³ induced by catenoids in ℝ³, we rediscover the Hoffman-Osserman catenoids in ℝ⁴ foliated by ellipses or circles.
