Example 6.10 Define u⁡(x,y)=12​y2​sech2x−12​cosh2⁡xu(x,y)={\textstyle\frac{1}{2}}y^{2}{\textstyle\mathop{\rm sech}}^{2}x-{\textstyle\frac{1}{2}}\cosh^{2}x and v⁡(x,y)=y​tanh⁡xv(x,y)=y\tanh x. Then uu and vv satisfy (32). Equation (31) with a=0a=0 defines an explicit nonsingular special Lagrangian 3-fold NN in ℂ3\mathbin{\mathbb{C}}^{3}. It can be shown that NN is ruled, and arises from Harvey and Lawson’s ‘austere submanifold’ construction [9, §III.3.C] of SL mm-folds in ℂm\mathbin{\mathbb{C}}^{m}, as the normal bundle of a catenoid in ℝ3\mathbin{\mathbb{R}}^{3}.
