Meeks and Pérez extend their 2011 survey article "The classical theory of Minimal surfaces" in the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society to include other recent research results. Their topics include minimal surfaces with finite topology and more than one end, limits of embedded minimal surfaces without local area or curvature bounds, conformal structure of minimal surfaces, embedded minimal surfaces of finite genus, topological aspects of minimal surfaces, and Calabi-Yau problems.

Lectures on Minimal Surfaces: Introduction, fundamentals, geometry and basic boundary value problems

This book is a revised and translated version of the first five chapters of Vorlesungen ^D"uber Minimalfl^D"achen. It deals with the parametric minimal surface in Euclidean space. The author presents a broad survey that extends from the classical beginnings to the current situation while highlighting many of the subject's main features and interspersing the mathematical development with pertinent historical remarks.

Minimal surfaces date back to Euler and Lagrange and the beginning of the calculus of variations. Many of the techniques developed have played key roles in geometry and partial differential equations. Examples include monotonicity and tangent cone analysis originating in the regularity theory for minimal surfaces, estimates for nonlinear equations based on the maximum principle arising in Bernstein's classical work, and even Lebesgue's definition of the integral that he developed in his thesis on the Plateau problem for minimal surfaces. This book starts with the classical theory of minimal surfaces and ends up with current research topics. Of the various ways of approaching minimal surfaces (from complex analysis, PDE, or geometric measure theory), the authors have chosen to focus on the PDE aspects of the theory. The book also contains some of the applications of minimal surfaces to other fields including low dimensional topology, general relativity, and materials science. The only prerequisites needed for this book are a basic knowledge of Riemannian geometry and some familiarity with the maximum principle.
