Surfaces of constant curvature in 3-dimensional space forms
The study of surfaces immersed in a 3-dimensional ambient space plays a central role in the theory of submanifolds. In addition, Riemannian manifolds with constant sectional curvature can be considered as the most simple examples. Thus, one can think of surfaces with constant Gauss curvature in the Euclidean space R, hyperbolic space H or 3-sphere S as very natural objects of study. Through the...
متن کاملModuli Space Theory for Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces Immersed in Space-forms
The study of constant mean curvature surfaces in a space-form has been an active field since the work of H. Hopf in the 1920’s and H.Liebmann in the years around 1900. The questions which are generally of interest are global questions of existence and uniqueness in complete 3-manifolds. We deal in this short paper on a question of existence and uniqueness with respect to the complex structure a...
متن کاملHypersurfaces of Constant Curvature in Space Forms
In this paper we shall discuss hypersurfaces M of space forms of constant curvature; where curvature means one of the symmetric functions of curvature associated to the second fundamental form. The values of the constant will be chosen so that the linearized equation will be an elliptic equation onM . For example, for surfaces in 3 the two possible curvatures are the mean curvature H and the Ga...
متن کاملLagrangian surfaces with circular ellipse of curvature in complex space forms
We classify the Lagrangian orientable surfaces in complex space forms with the property that the ellipse of curvature is always a circle. As a consequence, we obtain new characterizations of the Clifford torus in the complex projective plane and of the Whitney spheres in the complex projective, complex Euclidean and complex hyperbolic planes.

متن کاملLocal Rigidity of Surfaces in Space Forms
We prove that isometric embeddings of closed, embedded surfaces in R are locally rigid, i.e. they admit no non-trivial local isometric deformations, answering a question in classical differential geometry. The same result holds for abstract surfaces embedded in constant curvature 3-manifolds, provided a mild condition on the fundamental group holds.
