    Minimal surfaces and Schwarz lemma

    Full text link
    We prove a sharp Schwarz type inequality for the Weierstrass- Enneper representation of the minimal surfaces. It states the following. If F:D→ΣF:\mathbf{D}\to \Sigma is a conformal harmonic parameterization of a minimal disk Σ\Sigma, where D\mathbf{D} is the unit disk and ∣Σ∣=πR2|\Sigma|=\pi R^2, then ∣Fx(z)∣(1−∣z∣2)≤R|F_x(z)|(1-|z|^2)\le R. If for some zz the previous inequality is equality, then the surface is an affine disk, and FF is linear up to a M\"obius transformation of the unit disk.Comment: 6 page
