Abstract: (APS)

We construct the general instanton metric obtained from Weierstrass’ general local solution for minimal surfaces using the correspondence between minimal surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space and gravitational instantons admitting two Killing vectors. The resulting metric contains one arbitrary analytic function and we show that it can be transformed to the Gibbons-Hawking form of an instanton metric that was reported earlier.
