Toda lattice and Riemann type minimal surfaces

Abstract

Toda lattice and minimal surfaces are related to each other through Allen-Cahn equation. In view of the structure of the solutions of the Toda lattice, we find new balancing configuration using techniques of integrable systems. This allows us to construct new singly periodic minimal surfaces. The genus of these minimal surfaces equals $j(j+1)/2-1$. They are natural generalization of the Riemann minimal surfaces, which have genus zero.
