On a Variety of Algebraic Minimal Surfaces in Euclidean 4-Space

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the moduli space of the Weierstrass data for algebraic minimal surfaces in Euclidean 4-space with fixed topological type, orders of branched points and ends, and total curvature, has the structure of a real analytic variety. We provide the lower bounds of its dimension. We also show that the moduli space of the Weierstrass data for stable algebraic minimal surfaces in Euclidean 4-space has the structure of a complex analytic variety.
