Many properties of minimal surfaces are of a global nature, and
this is already true for the results treated in the first two
volumes of the treatise. Part I of the present book can be viewed
as an extension of these results. For instance, the first two
chapters deal with existence, regularity and uniqueness theorems
for minimal surfaces with partially free boundaries. Here one of
the main features is the possibility of "edge-crawling" along free
parts of the boundary. The third chapter deals with a priori
estimates for minimal surfaces in higher dimensions and for
minimizers of singular integrals related to the area functional. In
particular, far reaching Bernstein theorems are derived. The second
part of the book contains what one might justly call a "global
theory of minimal surfaces" as envisioned by Smale. First, the
Douglas problem is treated anew by using Teichmuller theory.
Secondly, various index theorems for minimal theorems are derived,
and their consequences for the space of solutions to Plateaus
problem are discussed. Finally, a topological approach to minimal
surfaces via Fredholm vector fields in the spirit of Smale is
presented.
