  • This paper is motivated by the question of whether a sequence of solutions of a given integrable system can be blown up to obtain a solution of a different integrable system in the limit. We study a specific example of this phenomenon. Namely, we describe a blow-up for immersed constant mean curvature (cmc) planes of finite type with unbounded principal curvatures and derive sufficient conditions under which this blow-up converges to a minimal surface immersion. Passing to the respective Gauss-Codazzi equations, we are blowing up a sequence of solutions to the sinh-Gordon integrable system to obtain a solution to Liouville's equation, whose integrable system will turn out to be closely related to the Korteweg-de Vries integrable system. Our most important tool for this investigation is the algebraic-geometric correspondence that was established by Pinkall/Sterling and by Hitchin for cmc planes of finite type, which include all cmc tori.
