$\mathbb{R}^3$の極小曲面
Weierstrassの表現公式
$M$をRiemann面, $(g,\eta)$を$M$上の有理型関数と正則1次微分の組で, \[ \big(1+|g|^2\big)^2\eta\overline{\eta} \] が$M$上のRiemann計量を定めるものとする. このとき \[ f(p)=\mathrm{Re}\int_{p_0}^p\big(1-g^2,\,i(1+g^2),\,2g\big)\eta \] は$M$から$\mathbb{R}^3$への共形極小はめ込みを与える. ただし$p_0$は$M$上の定点である. $f$の定義に線積分を用いているので, $f$は一般に$M$上多価である.
