C-P Family of Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces
This family of
triply periodic minimal surfaces is
complementary to Schwartz' P surface. The
kaleidoscopic cell is
a quadrirectangular tetrahedron (1/48 of a cube) with a C2 symmetry axis.
Neovius' Surface
A cubical unit cell, basically a central chamber with necks out to the middle of
each edge of the cube. Genus 9.
by evolving the adjoint surface
(which is in the datafile), adjusting a
parameter to kill one period, and then doing an adjoint transformation.
The name C21(P) refers to the surface being complementary to the P surface
and having genus 21.

Schoen's C27(P) Surface
Higher genus version in the sequence Neovius, C15P, C21P.
The unit cell has 96-fold symmetry (in the sense of having 96 copies of the
fundamental region).
This image was actually constructed
by evolving the adjoint surface
(which is in the datafile), adjusting a
parameter to kill two periods, and then doing an adjoint transformation.
The name C27(P) refers to the surface being complementary to the P surface
and having genus 27.

Schoen's C33(P) Surface
Higher genus version in the sequence Neovius, C15P, C21P, C27P.
The unit cell has 96-fold symmetry (in the sense of having 96 copies of the
fundamental region).
This image was actually constructed
by evolving the adjoint surface
(which is in the datafile), adjusting a
parameter to kill two periods, and then doing an adjoint transformation.
The name C33(P) refers to the surface being complementary to the P surface
and having genus 33.

Schoen's C39(P) Surface
Higher genus version in the sequence Neovius, C15P, C21P, C27P, C33P.
The unit cell has 96-fold symmetry (in the sense of having 96 copies of the
fundamental region).
This image was actually constructed
by evolving the adjoint surface
(which is in the datafile), adjusting a
parameter to kill three periods, and then doing an adjoint transformation.
The name C39(P) refers to the surface being complementary to the P surface
and having genus 39.

Schoen's C45(P) Surface
Higher genus version in the sequence Neovius, C15P, C21P, C27P, C33P, C39P.
The unit cell has 96-fold symmetry (in the sense of having 96 copies of the
fundamental region).
This image was actually constructed
by evolving the adjoint surface
(which is in the datafile), adjusting a
parameter to kill three periods, and then doing an adjoint transformation.
The name C45(P) refers to the surface being complementary to the P surface
and having genus 45.
