The Weierstrass Representation always gives a minimal surface

Year: 2012

Type: preprint

Abstract: We give a simple, direct proof of the easy fact about the Weierstrass Representation, namely, that it always gives a minimal surface. Most presentations include the much harder converse that every simply connected minimal surface is given by the Weierstrass Representation.
