چکیده
0. Introduction. Minimal immersions from a Riemann surface M into Sn were studied by Calabi ([3]) and Chern ([4]), among many authors. To such an immesion F in S4, they found a holomorphic quartic form QF (to be defined in Section 1) on M . A superminimal immersion is one for which QF = 0, which is always the case when M = S 2. In [2], Bryant studied a superminimal immersion of a higher genus into S4 by lifting it to CP 3, the twistor space of S4. The lift of a superminimal immersion is a holomorphic curve, of the same degree as that of the immersion, which is horizontal with respect to the twistorial fibration; more precisely, it is a holomorphic curve in CP 3 satisfying the differential equation

The Dimension of the Moduli Space of Superminimal Surfaces of a Fixed Degree and Conformal Structure in the 4-sphere
It was established by X. Mo and the author that the dimension of each irreducible component of the moduli space Λd^^giX) of branched superminimal immersions of degree d from a Riemann surface X of genus g into C P 3 lay between 2d—4g+4 and 2d — g+4 for d sufficiently large, where the upper bound was always assumed by the irreducible component of totally geodesic branched superminimal immersions...
متن کاملOn the Moduli Space of Superminimal Surfaces in Spheres
Using a birational correspondence between the twistor space of S2n and projective space, we describe, up to birational equivalence, themoduli space of superminimal surfaces in S2n of degree d as curves of degree d in projective space satisfying a certain differential system. Using this approach, we show that the moduli space of linearly full maps is nonempty for sufficiently large degree and we...
متن کاملIrreducibility of Moduli Space of Harmonic
In this paper we prove that for d ≥ 3, the moduli spaces of degree d branched superminimal immersions of the 2-sphere into S4 has 2 irreducible components. Consequently, the moduli space of degree d harmonic 2-spheres in S4 has 3 irreducible components. Recall that in the Calabi construction (see [C]) the space of branched minimal immersions (or, equivalently, the space of harmonic maps) of S i...
متن کاملModuli Space of Branched Superminimal Immersions of a Compact Riemann Surface Into
In this paper we describe the moduli spaces of degree d branched superminimal immersions of a compact Riemann surface of genus g into S4. We prove that when d ≥ max{2g, g + 2}, such spaces have the structure of projectivized fibre products and are path-connected quasi-projective varieties of dimension 2d − g + 4. This generalizes known results for spaces of harmonic 2-spheres in S4. In the Cala...
