Abstract

We desingularize a branch point pp of a minimal disk F0(D)F_0(\mathbb{D}) in R4\mathbb{R}^4 through immersions FtF_t's which have only transverse double points and are branched covers of the plane tangent to F0(D)F_0(\mathbb{D}) at pp. If F0F_0 is a topological embedding and thus defines a knot in a sphere/cylinder around the branch point, the data of the double points of the FtF_t's give us a braid representation of this knot as a product of bands.
