Flat surfaces in the hyperbolic 3-space
In this paper we give a conformal representation of flat surfaces in the hyperbolic 3space using the complex structure induced by its second fundamental form. We also study some examples and the behaviour at infinity of complete flat ends. Mathematics Subject Classification (1991): 53A35, 53C42
متن کاملValue Distribution of the Hyperbolic Gauss Maps for Flat Fronts in Hyperbolic Three-space
We give an effective estimate for the totally ramified value number of the hyperbolic Gauss maps of complete flat fronts in the hyperbolic three-space. As a corollary, we give the upper bound of the number of exceptional values of them for some topological cases. Moreover, we obtain some new examples for this class.
متن کاملOn Sub-riemannian Caustics and Wave Fronts for Contact Distributions in the Three-space
In a number of previous papers of the first and third authors, caustics, cut-loci, spheres, and wave fronts of a system of sub-Riemannian geodesics emanating from a point q0 were studied. It turns out that only certain special arrangements of classical Lagrangian and Legendrian singularities occur outside q0. As a consequence of this, for instance, the generic caustic is a globally stable objec...
متن کاملDiscrete Flat Surfaces and Linear Weingarten Surfaces in Hyperbolic 3-space
We define discrete flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space H from the perspective of discrete integrable systems and prove properties that justify the definition. We show how these surfaces correspond to previously defined discrete constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in H, and we also describe discrete focal surfaces (discrete caustics) that can be used to define singularities on discrete flat surfa...
متن کاملCaustics of de Sitter spacelike curves in Minkowski 3-space
In this paper, we consider evolutes of spacelike curves in de Sitter 2-space. Applying the theory of singularity theory, we find that these evolutes can be seen as one dimensional caustics which are locally diffeomorphic to lines or ordinary cusps. We establish the relationships between singularities of caustics and geometric invariants of curves under the action of the Lorentz group. c ©2016 A...
