In particular, we prove that the only periodic minimal desingularization of a pair of intersecting planes is Scherk's singly-periodic minimal surface.33 pages; 1 figureDifferential GeometryComplex Variables53A20; 58D27; 32G15Minimal surfaces with the area growth of two planes; the case of infinite symmetrytext
