Calabi lifting and surface geometry in \(S^ 4\) (Q1819384)

To an isometric immersion of an orientable surface M into \(S^ 4(1)\), there correspond two maps \(M\to P_ 3({\mathbb{C}})\), which are called Calabi liftings, where \(P_ 3({\mathbb{C}})\) is considered as the twistor space of \(S^ 4(1)\). The author studies some relations between an isometric immersion into \(S^ 4(1)\) and its Calabi liftings. He proves among others that Calabi liftings of an orientable minimal surface in \(S^ 4(1)\) are conformal minimal immersions into \(P_ 3({\mathbb{C}})\).
