극소 및 극대 곡면 발견의 역사 = History of the Search for Minimal and Maximal Surfaces

국문 초록 (Abstract)

극소곡면은 고전미분기하학의 꽃이며 현대에 이르기까지 기하학의 중심을 이루고 있다. 이러한 극소곡면 이론에서 가장 어려운 부분이라고 할 수 있는 극소곡면의 발견 과정을 역사적으로 조명하여 보고 이를 통하여 극소곡면 이론을 소개한다. 한편 최근에 들어 연구가 시작된 로렌츠-민코프스키 공간의 극대곡면의 예를 소개하고 극소곡면 발견 과정과 비교 연구한다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Theory of minimal surfaces has always been in the center of differential geometry. The most difficult part in minimal surfaces is how to find meaningful examples. In this paper we survey the history of search for minimal surfaces. We also introduce examples of recently emerging maximal surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space and compare the processes in the search for the minimal and the maximal surfaces.
