A correspondence between genus one minimal Lawson surfaces of $\mathbb{S}^3(2)$ and area-minimizing unit vector fields on the antipodally punctured unit 2-sphere

Abstract

A correspondence is established between a class of minimal immersed surfaces of $\mathbb{S}^3(2)$ and area-minimizing unit vector fields defined on the antipodally punctured unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2\backslash\{N,S\}$. As a consequence, we establish a stability relation for Lawson cylinders in $\mathbb{S}^3(2)$.
