"Generalized superminimal surfaces and the Weierstrass representation"
A superminimal surface in 4 dimensional Euclidean space is a special type of minimal surface, related to complex geometry. The Weierstrass representation of a minimal surfaces in n-dimensional Euclidean space is a way of describing the minimal surface using holomorphic data. I will discuss some old work from 2011 with my former USRA Li Chen, which I will be finally writing up this fall, where we generalize the notion of superminimal to higher codimension by characterizing (and then generalizing) the superminimal condition in terms of the Weierstrass representation and complex analysis.
This seminar will be held jointly online and in person.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
