Keywords:
minimal immersions; constant curvature surfaces; harmonic maps
Summary:
In this paper, history of reserches for minimal immersions from constant Gaussian curvature 2-manifolds into space forms is explained with special emphasis of works of O. Borůvka. Then recent results for the corresponding probrem to classify minimal immersions of such surfaces in complex space forms are discussed.
