Abstract

We develop a loop group (DPW-type) representation for minimal Lagrangian surfaces in the complex quadric Q2S2×S2Q_{2}\cong \mathbb S^{2}\times \mathbb S^{2}, formulated via a flat family of connections {λ}λS1\{\nabla^\lambda\}_{\lambda\in \mathbb S^{1}} on a trivial bundle. We prove that minimality is equivalent to the flatness of λ\nabla^\lambda for all λ\lambda, describe the associated isometric S1\mathbb S^{1}-family, and establish a precise correspondence with minimal surfaces in S3\mathbb S^{3} through their Gauss maps. Our framework unifies and streamlines earlier constructions (e.g., Castro--Urbano) and yields explicit families including R\mathbb R-equivariant, radially symmetric, and trinoid-type examples.
