Abstract

This article surveys the Weierstrass representation of surfaces in the three- and four-dimensional spaces, with an emphasis on its relation to the Willmore functional. We also describe an application of this representation to constructing a new type of solutions to the Davey-Stewartson II equation. They have regular initial data, gain one-point singularities at certain moments of time, and extend to smooth solutions for the remaining times.
