Harmonic mappings and conformal minimal immersions of Riemann surfaces into $\mathbb{R}^n$
Abstract: We prove that for any open Riemann surface $N,$ natural number $n\geq 3,$ non-constant harmonic map $h:N\to \mathbb{R}{n-2}$ and holomorphic 2-form $H$ on $N,$ there exists a weakly complete harmonic map $X=(X_j){j=1,\ldots,n}:N \to \mathbb{R}n$ with Hopf differential $H$ and $(X_j){j=3,\ldots,n}=h.$ In particular, there exists a complete conformal minimal immersion $Y=(Y_j){j=1,\ldots,n}:N \to \mathbb{R}n$ such that $(Y_j){j=3,\ldots,n}=h.$ As a consequence of these results, complete full non-decomposable minimal surfaces with arbitrary conformal structure and whose generalized Gauss map is non-degenerate and fails to intersect $n$ hyperplanes of $\mathbb{CP}{n-1}$ in general position are constructed. Moreover, complete non-proper embedded minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}n,$ $\forall n>3,$ are exhibited.
