Abstract: We demonstrate that a class of torus-shaped Hopf maps with arbitrary linking number obeys the static complex eikonal equation. Further, we explore the geometric structure behind these solutions, explaining thereby the reason for their existence. As this equation shows up as an integrability condition in certain non-linear field theories, the existence of such solutions is of some interest.
