Minimal surfaces with symmetriesFranc Forstnerič, 2024, original scientific article
Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a connected open Riemann surface $X$ by holomorphic automorphisms and acting on a Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^n$ $(n\ge 3)$ by orthogonal transformations. We identify a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a $G$-equivariant conformal minimal immersion $F:X\to{\mathbb R}^n$. We show in particular that such a map $F$ always exists if $G$ acts without fixed points on $X$. Furthermore, every finite group $G$ arises in this way for some open Riemann surface $X$ and $n=2|G|$. We obtain an analogous result for minimal surfaces having complete ends with finite total Gaussian curvature, and for discrete infinite groups acting on $X$ properly discontinuously and acting on ${\mathbb R}^n$ by rigid transformations.
Keywords: Riemann surfaces, minimal surfaces, G-equivariant conformal minimal immersion
