Abstract: Let $Asubsetmathbb{R}^2$ be a smooth doubly connected domain. We consider the Dirichlet energy $E(u)=in{t}_A|ablau{|}^2$, where $u:AightarrowmathbbC$, and look for critical points of this energy with prescribed modulus $|u|=1$ on $partialA$ and with prescribed degrees on the two connected components of $partialA$. This variational problem is a problem with lack of compactness hence we can not use the direct methods of calculus of variations. Our analysis relies on the so-called Hopf differential and on a strong link between this problem and the problem of finding all minimal surfaces bounded by two $p$ covering of circles in parallel planes. We then construct new immersed minimal surfaces in $mathbb{R}^3$ with this property. These surfaces are obtained by bifurcation from a family of $p$-coverings of catenoids.
