The Calabi-Yau property of superminimal surfaces in self-dual Einstein four-manifolds

Abstract: In this paper, we show that if $(X,g)$ is an oriented four dimensional Einstein manifold which is self-dual or anti-self-dual then superminimal surfaces in $X$ of appropriate spin enjoy the Calabi-Yau property, meaning that every immersed surface of this type from a bordered Riemann surface can be uniformly approximated by complete superminimal surfaces with Jordan boundaries. The proof uses the theory of twistor spaces and the Calabi-Yau property of holomorphic Legendrian curves in complex contact manifolds.
