Meeks–Sullivan parabolicity conjecture for finite-genus proper minimal surfaces
Meeks–Sullivan parabolicity conjecture for finite-genus proper minimal surfaces
Let be a complete proper minimal immersion, where is a Riemannian surface without boundary and with finite genus. A Riemannian surface is parabolic if it is noncompact and carries no negative non-constant subharmonic function.
Meeks–Sullivan conjecture. The surface is parabolic.
This conjecture concerns conformal restrictions on complete proper minimal immersions in . The surrounding results show parabolicity under additional hypotheses, but the source provides no evidence that this finite-genus case has been resolved.
