Screw motion surfaces of constant mean curvature in homogeneous 3-manifolds

Abstract

We study the geometry of non-minimal surfaces of supercritical constant mean curvature invariant under screw motions in the homogeneous 3-manifolds $\mathbb{E}(\kappa,\tau)$ including the space-forms of non-negative curvature. We give a complete classification, thereby unifying and extending various previous results. We give the first classification for the Berger sphere case, and we exhibit a new family of screw motion CMC surfaces, called tubes.
