P. Bracken et Am. Grundland, Geometrical aspects of the complex eikonal equations associated to the generalized Weierstrass representation, CZEC J PHYS, 51(4), 2001, pp. 293-300
Certain geometrical aspects of a Laplace-Beltrami equation subjected to a c
omplex eikonal equation are studied. It is. shown that all principal curvat
ures of a solution surface are constant for this system. To illustrate the
theoretical considerations, we look for a class of solutions of an overdete
rmined system composed of the sigma model and a system of complex eikonal e
quations. The connection between the sigma model and the generalized Weiers
trass system for inducing constant mean curvature surfaces allows us to con
struct special classes of solutions for classical configurations of strings
