Abstract
Geometrically induced flat SO(3) connections on a string world-sheet are us ed to construct a self-dual Chem-Simons system for minimal and constant mea n curvature surfaces immersed in R-3. Instanton-type solutions are shown to correspond to vortex configurations. Inclusion of a third fundamental form is discussed.
