Surfaces of Constant negative Scalar Curvature and the Correpondence between the Liouville and the sine–Gordon Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
By studying the internal Riemannian geometry of the surfaces of constant negative scalar curvature, we obtain a natural map between the Liouville and the sine–Gordon equations. First, considering isometric immersions into the Lobachevskian plane, we obtain an uniform expression for the general (locally defined) solution of both the equations. Second, we prove that there is a Lie– Bäcklund transformation interpolating between Liouville and sine–Gordon. Third, we use isometric immersions into the Lobachevskian plane to describe sine– Gordon N–solitons explicitly. Corresponding author E–mail address [email protected]

Topological defects on fluctuating surfaces: General properties and the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.
We investigate the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition for hexatic order on a free fluctuating membrane and derive both a Coulomb gas and a sine-Gordon Hamiltonian to describe it. The Coulomb-gas Hamiltonian includes charge densities arising from disclinations and from Gaussian curvature. There is an interaction coupling the difference between these two densities, whose strength is determined by the...
متن کاملOn transformations of the Rabelo equations
We study four distinct second-order nonlinear equations of Rabelo which describe pseudospherical surfaces. By transforming these equations to the constant-characteristic form we relate them to some well-studied integrable equations. Two of the Rabelo equations are found to be related to the sine-Gordon equation. The other two are transformed into a linear equation and the Liouville equation, an...

The stepwise Sine-Gordon equation in which the value of the system parameter is different for negative and positive value of the scalar field is investigated. By applying appropriate junction conditions, the relation between solition velocities before and after collision is derived. It turns out that a heavy soliton anti-soliton pair can transform into a light pair moving at right velocities....
متن کاملOn Stretch curvature of Finsler manifolds
In this paper, Finsler metrics with relatively non-negative (resp. non-positive), isotropic and constant stretch curvature are studied. In particular, it is showed that every compact Finsler manifold with relatively non-positive (resp. non-negative) stretch curvature is a Landsberg metric. Also, it is proved that every (α,β)-metric of non-zero constant flag curvature and non-zero relatively i...
متن کاملM ar 1 99 6 Sinh - Gordon , Cosh - Gordon and Liouville Equations for Strings and Multi - Strings in Constant Curvature
We find that the fundamental quadratic form of classical string propagation in 2 + 1 dimensional constant curvature spacetimes solves the Sinh-Gordon equation, the Cosh-Gordon equation or the Liouville equation. We show that in both de Sitter and anti de Sitter spacetimes (as well as in the 2 + 1 black hole anti de Sitter spacetime), all three equations must be included to cover the generic str...
