Abstract: (APS)

We show that for every minimal surface in E3 there is a gravitational instanton, an exact solution of the Einstein field equations with Euclidean signature and anti-self-dual curvature. The explicit metric establishing this correspondence is presented and a new class of exact solutions are obtained.

gravitation: instanton
Einstein equation: solution
potential: Kaehler
