1 ROCKY MOUNTAIN JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS Volume 5, Number, 5 HARMONIC SHEARS OF ELLIPTIC INTEGRALS MICHAEL DORFF AND J. SZYNAL ABSTRACT. We shear complex elliptic integrals to create univalent harmonic mappings and then use the Weierstrass- Enneper formula to construct embedded minimal surfaces. In one particular case we use this approach to construct a family of slanted Scherk s doubly periodic surfaces whose limit is the helicoid. The corresponding conjugate surfaces form a family of Scherk s singly periodic surfaces that transform into the catenoid. These particular families of surfaces are significant in the study of minimal surfaces, and this method of shearing analytic functions to construct them is a novel approach.. Introduction. A harmonic mapping is a complex-valued function f = u + iv, for which both u and v are real harmonic. Throughout this paper we will discuss harmonic functions that are univalent and sensepreserving on D = {z : z < }. Such mappings can be written in the form f = h +ḡ, whereh and g areanalyticand h (z) > g (z) []. Constructing mappings with these properties is difficult. However, Clunie and Sheil-Small introduced a shearing method on a certain class of analytic functions for doing so. A few recent papers have used this shearing technique [, 5]. In this paper we apply this shearing method to complex elliptic integrals. One nice aspect of these univalent harmonic mappings is that they lift to embedded, i.e., nonself-intersecting, minimal surfaces via the Weierstrass-Enneper representation formula. Lifting the harmonic mappings formed by the shearing of complex elliptic integrals results in some interesting minimal surfaces. In particular, the minimal graphs associated with the shearing of a particular elliptic integral of the first kind form a one-parameter family of slanted Scherk s surfaces that range from the canonical Scherk s first, or doubly periodic, surface to the helicoid. Doubly periodic minimal surfaces have been studied and classified by minimal surface theorists [9,, 7]. Our approach is different in that it considers these doubly periodic surfaces by using geometric function theory techniques and the shearing of analytic Received by the editors on July,, and in revised form on October,.

Finally, by considering the family of conjugate surfaces, we also derive a one-parameter family of surfaces that transforms Scherk s saddle tower, or singly periodic, surface into the catenoid.. Shearing elliptic integrals. First we need a definition. Definition. A domain Ω is convex in the direction e iϕ if, for every a C, theset Ω {a + te iϕ : t R} is either connected or empty. In particular, a domain is convex in the direction of the real axis if every line parallel to the real axis has a connected intersection with Ω. The shearing method is based upon a theorem by Clunie and Sheil- Small []: Theorem A. A harmonic function f = h +ḡ locally univalent in D is a univalent mapping of D onto a domain convex in the direction of the real axis if and only if h g is an analytic univalent mapping of D onto a domain convex in the direction of the real axis. We apply this method to shear elliptic integrals. Recall that an elliptic integral is the inverse of an elliptic, or doubly-periodic, function and can be thought of as a generalization of inverse trigonometric functions, see [] or []. Elliptic functions have been used to construct periodic minimal surfaces [6]. There are three types of elliptic integrals, known as the elliptic integrals of the first, second and third kind. These can be represented in the following forms, respectively: F (z, k) = E(z, k) = Π(z, m, k) = dζ ( ζ )( k ζ ) ; k ζ ζ dζ; dζ ( mζ ) ( ζ )( k ζ ),

Noticethat zf (z) = z ( z ) / ( k z ) / maps D onto C minus four slits that lie on rays emanating from the origin. That is, zf (z) is a star-like mapping. Hence, by Alexander s theorem, see [6], F is a convex mapping. We can apply Clunie and Sheil-Small shearing technique to the elliptic integral F. Let h(z) g(z) =F (z, k) andg (z) =m z h (z), where m. Then we can write h and g in terms of the elliptic integrals F andπ.inparticular, dζ h(z) = ( m ζ ) ( ζ )( k ζ ) =Π(z, m, csgn (k) k) () m ζ dζ g(z) = ( m ζ ) ( ζ )( k ζ ) =Π(z, m, csgn (k) k) F (z, csgn (k) k), where the csgn function is used to determine in which half-plane k lies, that is, { if Re(k) > orre(k) =andim(k) > csgn (k) = if Re(k) < orre(k) =andim(k) <. Although we know that F (D) is convex, we do not know much about f(d) except that it is convex in the direction of the real axis, see Figure. However, there is a particular case in which we can make some interesting claims.

5 HARMONIC SHEARS OF ELLIPTIC INTEGRALS 89 Special case. Consider the case k =. Then F (z, ) = tanh z = ( ) +z log, z which maps D onto a horizontal strip and ( ) dζ h(z) = ( m ζ )( ζ ) = +z ( m ) log z ( m +mz + (m ) log mz m ζ dζ g(z) = ( m ζ )( ζ ) = m ( ) +z ( m ) log z + m (m ) log ( +mz mz ) ). Proposition. For k =and every m such that m =, the image of D under f = h +ḡ is a parallelogram for all m =. Proof. First we will show that the image of D is convex. By a result by Clunie and Sheil-Small [, Theorem 5.7] it is equivalent to prove that the function F (z) =h(z) e iϕ g(z) = eiϕ m ( m ) log ( +z z ) ( eiϕ ) ( m ) log ( ) +mz mz is convex in the direction e iϕ for all ϕ [,π). This can be done by showing that () Re {e iα ( xz)( yz)f (z)} > for some α R and x, y D, see[, ]. x = y =. Then Let α = π ϕ and H(z) =e iα ( xz)( yz)f (z) =ie iϕ eiϕ m z m z.
6 9 M. DORFF AND J. SZYNAL Since Möbius transformation ( e iϕ m z )/( m z )mapsd onto the right half-plane, we have that Re {H(z)} > for all z D and the image of D under f = h +ḡ is convex. Second the boundary of the D gets mapped to the four points under f. This is because with m = e iθ, without loss of generality, assume θ (,π), and z = e iϕ,wehave Re {f(z)} = [ ( ( )) ( θ + ϕ arg i cot cos θ arg i cot ϕ )] sinθ π( + cos θ)/sinθ if ϕ ( θ, ), π( cos θ)/sinθ if ϕ (,π θ), = π( + cos θ)/sinθ if ϕ (π θ, π), π( cos θ)/sinθ if ϕ (π, π θ), and Im {f(z)} = ( arg i cot ϕ ) { π/ if ϕ (,π), = π/ if ϕ (π, π). Finally, Bshouty and Hengartner, see [, Remark.], note that in this case the image of D under f must be the convex polygon. That is, the image of D under f is a parallelogram. The images of D under f = h +ḡ for m = e iπ/, m = e iπ/ and m = e iπ/6 are shown in Figure (f) and Figure (a),(b).. Elliptic integral of the second kind E(z, k). Lemma. For k = e iθ, E maps D univalently onto a region convex in the direction e iπ/. Proof. NotethatE(z, k) is convex in the direction e iβ,if Re {E (z, k)( + ze i(α+β) )( + ze i(α β) } >, for some α R, see [, ]. α, β = π/, we have Applying this to our claim with Re {E (z, e iθ )( z )} =Re{ e iθ z z }.

Notice that Re { e iθ z} > for all θ R, wherez D. Hence, Re { e iθ z z } >, see [7, p. 79, Theorem ()]. Clunie and Sheil-Small s shearing technique applied to a function, f, convex in the direction e iπ/ requires us to consider h+g = f. Applying this to our situation, let k = e iθ. Then for the elliptic integral E, let h + g = E and g = k z h. By doing so, we can solve for h and g in terms of the elliptic integrals F and E. dζ h(z) = = F (z, csgn (k) k) ( k ζ )( ζ ) g(z) = k ζ dζ = E(z, csgn (k) k) ( k ζ )( ζ ) F (z, csgn (k) k). Again, we do not know much about f(d) exceptthatitisconvexin the direction of the imaginary axis, see Figure.. Minimal surfaces from harmonic univalent mappings. There is a nice relationship between embedded, i.e., nonself-intersecting, minimal surfaces and univalent harmonic mappings. In the theory of minimal surfaces, the Weierstrass-Enneper representation provides a formula for the local representation of a minimal surface, see [].

9 HARMONIC SHEARS OF ELLIPTIC INTEGRALS 9 Theorem B. For every analytic function µ and meromorphic function ν in D with µ, ν such that µν is analytic in D, the parametrization X(z) =(x (z),x (z),x (z)) defines a minimal surface X : D R,where x (z) =Re x (z) =Re x (z) =Re µ( ν ) dζ, iµ( + ν ) dζ, µν dζ. Using this, we can construct embedded minimal surfaces by lifting harmonic univalent mappings, see [8]. Some papers have already investigated the family of minimal surfaces resulting from lifting specific mappings [, 5]. For our purposes, notice that x,x,x canbewrittenintermsofh and g, wheref = h+ḡ is a univalent harmonic mapping. In particular, h = µdζ and g = µν dζ. Thus, x (z) =Re{h(z)+g(z)} =Re{f(z)}, x (z) =Im{h(z) g(z)} =Im{f(z)}, { } x (z) =Im h (ζ)g (ζ) dz. For example, using the shear of the elliptic integral of the first kind, mζ dζ x (z) = ( m ζ ) ( ζ )( k ζ ), while for the shear of the elliptic integral of the second kind, we get ikζ dζ x (z) = ( k ζ )( ζ ). Images of some minimal surfaces generated by the shearing of these two kinds of elliptic integrals are shown in Figure, for projections onto the complex plane, see Figure (b) and Figure (d).

The minimal surface generated by the shear of various elliptic Special case. Consider the case of the minimal surfaces constructed from shearing the elliptic integral of the first kind with k = while letting m vary. This is particularly interesting, because they form a one-parameter family of slanted Scherk surfaces that range from the canonical Scherk first surface to the helicoid. Recall that when we shear the elliptic integral F (z, ), we have f(z) = h(z)+ g(z), where ( +z h(z) = ( m ) log z m ( +z g(z) = ( m ) log z ) + ) + ( ) m +mz (m ) log mz ( ) m +mz (m ) log. mz Notice that { m x =Im m log ( m z z )}. For m = i the resulting minimal surface has the form X =(x,x,x ) ( = Re { i log ( +iz iz )} {, Re i ( +z log z Re )}, { log ( +z z )}),
11 HARMONIC SHEARS OF ELLIPTIC INTEGRALS 95 which is Scherk s first, or doubly periodic, surface. With m = e iθ and letting θ decrease between π/ and, we get sheared transformations of Scherk s first surface. In the limit, i.e., θ =,wehavetheequation X =(x,x,x ) ( = Re { z z } {, Re i ( )} { }) +z iz log, Re z z. Using the substitution z e z /e z + and the fact that Re { iz / z } =Re{(/i)( + z / z )}, thisequationisequivalentto ( X =(x,x,x )= sinh u cos v, v, ) sinh u sin v, which is an equation of a helicoid. The Schwarz reflection principle allows one to create larger periodic minimal surfaces by reflecting a known surface through lines and planes of symmetry. This technique is used widely today to create many new minimal surfaces. The reflection principle states, see []: Theorem C. () Every straight line contained in a minimal surface is an axis of symmetry of the surface. () If a minimal surface intersects some plane E perpendicularly, then E is a plane of symmetry of the surface. From Proposition, we know that the projection of these minimal surfaces formed by shearing the elliptic integral of the first kind with k = onto the complex plane is a parallelogram. Hence we can apply the Schwarz reflection principle to combine one of these minimal surfaces with copies of itself to form a checkerboard-like conglomeration of minimal surfaces, see Figure 5. From these slanted Scherk s first surface we can construct another one-parameter family of surfaces which this time varies from Scherk s saddle tower, or singly periodic, surface to the catenoid. To do this, we use the idea of conjugate surfaces. Definition 5. If a minimal surface X(u, v)=(x (u, v),x (u, v),x (u, v)) is defined on a simply connected domain Ω C, then we define the

Scherk s saddle tower is the conjugate surface to Scherk s first surface and the catenoid is the conjugate surface to the helicoid []. For our purposes, notice that x (z) =Re{h(z) g(z)}, x (z) =Im{h(z)+g(z)}, { } x (z) =Re h (ζ)g (ζ) dζ. In the minimal surface generated by the shearing of the elliptic integral F (z, ), each lattice is composed of a principal part that is a minimal graph over a convex domain. Krust theorem, see [], states that in such a situation, the conjugate surface will be a minimal graph. Thus, for each m = e iθ with θ varying from π/ to,wehaveaoneparameter family of Scherk saddle tower-like surfaces. The standard Scherk saddle tower surface occurs for θ = π/. As θ decreases, the holes in one side elongate while the holes on the neighboring side shorten and in the limit form the catenoid.
