A Class of Affine Maximal Surfaces with Singularities and its Relationship with Minimal Surface Theory

  • Jun Matsumoto

摘要

We study a global theory of affine maximal surfaces with singularities, which are called affine maximal maps and are defined by Aledo–Martínez–Milán. In this paper, we define a special subclass of such surfaces other than improper affine fronts, called affine maxfaces, and investigate their global properties with respect to certain notions of completeness. In particular, by applying Euclidean minimal surface theory, we show that “complete” affine maxfaces satisfy an Osserman-type inequality. Moreover, one can also observe that affine maxfaces are in a class that does not contain non-trivial improper affine fronts. We also provide examples of such surfaces which are related to Euclidean minimal surfaces.
