Abstract
We study the space of triply periodic minimal surfaces in ℝ3, giving a result on the local rigidity and a result on the existence of bifurcation. We prove that, near a triply periodic minimal surface with nullity three, the space of triply periodic minimal surfaces consists of a smooth five-parameter family of pairwise non-homothetic surfaces. On the other hand, if there is a smooth oneparameter family of triply periodic minimal surfaces {Xt}t containing X0 where the Morse index jumps by an odd integer, it will be proved the existence of a bifurcating branch issuing from X0. We also apply these results to several known examples.
