Abstract

We give a local analytic characterization that a minimal surface in the 3-sphere S3 ( R4 defined by an irreducible cubic polynomial is one of the Lawson´s minimal tori. This provides an alternative proof of the result by Perdomo (Characterization of order 3 algebraic immersed minimal surfaces of S3, Geom. Dedicata 129 (2007), 23–34).
