Gluing constructions for complete minimal surfaces
with finite total curvature in H^2xR. 

Abstract: We construct the first examples of complete,
properly embedded minimal surfaces in H^2xR with finite
total curvature and positive genus. These are constructed
by gluing copies of horizontal catenoids. This is a
joint work with Rafe Mazzeo (Stanford) and Magdalena
Rodriguez (Granada).
