Complete minimal surfaces with Cantor ends in minimally convex domains

Abstract: We survey the recent history of the conformal Calabi-Yau problem consisting in determining the complex structures admitted by complete bounded minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Moreover, we prove that for any minimally convex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and any compact Riemann surface $R$ there is a Cantor set $C$ in $R$ whose complement $R\setminus C$ is the complex structure of a complete proper minimal surface in $\Omega$.
