چکیده
The correspondance is established between the sigma models , the minimal surfaces and the Monge-Ampére equation. The Lax-Pairs of the minimality condition of the minimal surfaces and the MongeAmpére equations are given. Existance of infinitely many nonlocal conservation laws is shown and some Backlund transformations are also given.

Sigma Models, Minimal Surfaces and Some Ricci Flat Pseudo Riemannian Geometries
We consider the sigma models where the base metric is proportional to the metric of the configuration space. We show that the corresponding sigma model equation admits a Lax pair. We also show that this type of sigma models in two dimensions are intimately related to the minimal surfaces in a flat pseudo Riemannian 3-space. We define two dimensional surfaces conformally related to the minimal s...
متن کاملDigital cohomology groups of certain minimal surfaces
In this study, we compute simplicial cohomology groups with different coefficients of a connected sum of certain minimal simple surfaces by using the universal coefficient theorem for cohomology groups. The method used in this paper is a different way to compute digital cohomology groups of minimal simple surfaces. We also prove some theorems related to degree properties of a map on digital sph...
متن کاملDescription of surfaces associated with Grassmannian sigma models on Minkowski space
We construct and investigate smooth orientable surfaces in su(N) algebras. The structural equations of surfaces associated with Grassmannian sigma models on Minkowski space are studied using moving frames adapted to the surfaces. The first and second fundamental forms of these surfaces as well as the relations between them as expressed in the Gauss–Weingarten and Gauss–Codazzi–Ricci equations a...
متن کاملOn the Integrability of a Class of Monge-Ampère Equations
We give the Lax representations for for the elliptic, hyperbolic and homogeneous second order Monge-Ampère equations. The connection between these equations and the equations of hydrodynamical type give us a scalar dispersionless Lax representation. A matrix dispersive Lax representation follows from the correspondence between sigma models, a two parameter equation for minimal surfaces and Mong...
متن کاملOn CP 1 and CP 2 Maps and Weierstrass Representations for Surfaces Immersed into Multi - Dimensional Euclidean Spaces
An extension of the classic Enneper–Weierstrass representation for conformally pa-rametrised surfaces in multi-dimensional spaces is presented. This is based on low dimensional CP 1 and CP 2 sigma models which allow the study of the constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces immersed into Euclidean 3-and 8-dimensional spaces, respectively. Relations of Weierstrass type systems to the equations of t...
