@Periodic minimal surfaces have been studied by many researchers.
In particular, (i) Y. Nagano - B. Smyth's and W. H. Meeks' works are basic theory about that, (ii) Recently, the Moduli space of the minimal surfaces in flat tori has been studied by C. Arezzo and G. P. Pirola.
@Our main object is holomorphicity of minimal surfaces. This has been studied by M. Micallef - C. Arezzo, and they use Algebraic Geometrical method. In this talk, I'd like to introduce the surveys of minimal surfaces in 3 or 4-dimensional flat tori by means of the theory of classical Gauss map.
