The Calabi–Yau problem for Riemann surfaces with finite genus and countably many ends

Abstract

In this paper, we show that if $R$ is a compact Riemann surface and $M=R\setminus\,\bigcup_i D_i$ is a domain in $R$ whose complement is a union of countably many pairwise disjoint smoothly bounded closed discs $D_i$, then $M$ is the complex structure of a complete bounded minimal surface in $\mathbb R^3$. We prove that there is a complete conformal minimal immersion $X:M\to\mathbb R^3$ extending to a continuous map $X:\overline M\to\mathbb R^3$ such that $X(bM)=\bigcup_i X(bD_i)$ is a union of pairwise disjoint Jordan curves. This extends a recent result for bordered Riemann surfaces.
