Conformal Gauss Map Geometry and Application to Willmore Surfaces in Model Spaces

L_1 operator and Gauss map of quadric surfaces

The quadrics are all surfaces that can be expressed as a second degree polynomialin x, y and z. We study the Gauss map G of quadric surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space R^3 with respect to the so called L_1 operator ( Cheng-Yau operator □) acting on the smooth functions defined on the surfaces. For any smooth functions f defined on the surfaces, L_f=tr(P_1o hessf), where P_1 is t...

Gauss map computation for free-form surfaces

The Gauss map of a smooth doubly{curved surface characterizes the range of variation of the surface normal as an area on the unit sphere. An algorithm to approximate the Gauss map boundary to any desired accuracy is presented, in the context of a tensor{product polynomial surface patch, r(u;v) for (u; v) 2 0; 1 ] 0; 1 ]. Boundary segments of the Gauss map correspond to variations of the normal ...

Helicoidal Surfaces and Their Gauss Map in Minkowski 3-space

The helicoidal surface is a generalization of rotation surface in a Minkowski space. We study helicoidal surfaces in a Minkowski 3-space in terms of their Gauss map and provide some examples of new classes of helicoidal surfaces with constant mean curvature in a Minkowski 3-space.
