Abstract

Several classes of solutions of the generalized Weierstrass system, which induces constant mean curvature surfaces into four-dimensional Euclidean space are constructed. A gauge transformation allows us to simplify the system considered and derive factorized classes of solutions. A reduction of the generalized Weierstrass system to decoupled CP¹ sigma models is also considered. A new procedure for constructing certain classes of solutions, including elementary solutions (kinks and bumps) and multisoliton solutions is described in detail. The constant mean curvature surfaces associated with different types of solutions are presented. Some physical interpretations of the results obtained in the area of string theory are given.
