Bonnet Pairs in the 3 - Sphere

چکیده
Two non-congruent surfaces that are isometric and have the same mean curvature at corresponding points are called a Bonnet pair of surfaces or simply a Bonnet pair. The interest in such pairs arises from the following considerations: One of the fundamental problems of surface theory is to find invariants which characterize surfaces geometrically. The Bonnet theorem states that a surface is determined up to congruence by its first and second fundamental forms. However, this description has some redundancy since the first and second fundamental forms must satisfy the Gauss and Codazzi equations. So it may be that some pieces of information can be eliminated from this description, but which? It seems wise to retain the metric. But given the metric, we know the Gaussian curvature, i.e. the product of the two principal curvatures. The second fundamental form contains the following extra pieces of information: the mean curvature, i.e. half the sum of the two principal curvatures, and the principal curvature directions. It seems worthwhile to investigate what happens if we do not prescribe the curvature directions and ask the question: Is a surface already determined by its metric and mean curvature?

Objective: Isolated visual hallucinations is considered as the Charles Bonnet syndrome. Ophtalmic or brain organic disease is a necessary or exclusionary criterion for diagnosis. In previous reports, it reported only solitary hallucination. In this report, we found multiple hallucinations.

The effect of anti-follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) on testicular lipid and the specific activity of testicular enzymes of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), pyruvate/malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and malic enzyme involved in lipogenesis were studied in mature bonnet monkeys, Macaca radiata. Immunization of monkey with anti-FSH for 24 days did not produce any significant changes in the body ...

A classical question in surface theory is which data are sufficient to describe a surface in space up to rigid motions. Bonnet suggested that mean curvature and metric should suffice to determine the surface generically. The local theory was developed by Bonnet [6], Cartan [4] and Chern [5] who showed the existence of various 1-parameter families of Bonnet surfaces, i.e., surfaces with the same...
متن کاملPositively Curved Combinatorial 3-Manifolds
We present two theorems in the “discrete differential geometry” of positively curved spaces. The first is a combinatorial analog of the Bonnet-Myers theorem: • A combinatorial 3-manifold whose edges have degree at most five has edgediameter at most five. When all edges have unit length, this degree bound is equivalent to an angle-deficit along each edge. It is for this reason we call such space...

The Potential Energy Surface PES of (H2)2 dimer has been investigated, using five simple rigid rotor models. These models are called: head to head, symmetric side to side, L , steplike and T model. All calculations were done at two levels of ab initio methods: MP2(Full) and QCISD (T,Full) using cc-pVTZ basis set at singlet state of spin multiplicity. The results of scanning PES were then fitte...
