Abstract

The geometry of minimal surfaces generated by charge 2 Bogomolny monopoles on 3-dimensional Euclidean space is described in terms of the moduli parameter k. We find that the distribution of Gaussian curvature on the surface reflects the monopole structure. This is elucidated by the behaviour of the Gauss maps of the minimal surfaces.
