    This is the second of three papers [Part I, cf. ibid. 192, No. 1, 35--71 (2005; Zbl 1078.53046 and Part III, ibid. 192, No. 1, 135--182 (2005; Zbl 1080.53047)] of the author studying special Lagrangian 3-submanifolds (SL 3-folds) \(N\) in \({\mathbb C}^3\) invariant under the U(1)-action \(e^{i\theta}:(z_1,z_2,z_3)\longrightarrow (e^{i\theta}z_1, e^{-i\theta}z_2, z_3)\), using analytic methods. If \(N\) is such a 3-fold then \({| z_1|}^2- {| z_2|}^2=2a\) on \(N\) for some \(a\in {\mathbb R}\). Locally, \(N\) can be written as a kind of graph of functions \(u, v:{\mathbb R}^2\to{\mathbb R}\) satisfying a nonlinear Cauchy-Riemann equation depending on \(a\) , so that \(u+iv \) is like a holomorphic function of \(x+iy\). When \(a\) is nonzero, \(u, v\) are always smooth and \(N\) is nonsingular. This case has been studied by the author in the first paper. The present paper focusses on the case \(a=0\). In this case the nonlinear Cauchy-Riemann equation is not always elliptic. Because of this there may be points \((x,0)\) where \(u, v\) are not differentiable, corresponding to singular points of \(N\). The author proves a priori estimates for derivatives of solutions of the nonlinear Cauchy-Riemann equation, and uses them to show existence and uniqueness of weak solutions \(u, v\) to the two Dirichlet problems when \(a=0\), which are continuous and weakly differentiable. This gives existence and uniqueness for a large class of singular U(1)-invariant SL 3-folds in \({\mathbb C}^3\), with boundary conditions.
