In differential geometry, a saddle tower is a minimal surface family generalizing the singly periodic Scherk's second surface so that it has N-fold (N > 2) symmetry around one axis. [1] [2]
These surfaces are the only properly embedded singly periodic minimal surfaces in R3 with genus zero and finitely many Scherk-type ends in the quotient. [3]
