    Abstract

    Any elliptic curve can be realised in the tangent bundle of the complex projective line as a double cover branched at four distinct points on the zero section. Such a curve generates, via classical osculation duality, a null curve in C3 and thus an algebraic minimal surface in R3. We derive simple formulae for the coordinate functions of such a null curve.
