Not yet Determined Manuscript-nr. Remarks on the Darboux Transform of Isothermic Surfaces

چکیده

We study Darboux and Christooel transforms of isothermic surfaces in Euclidean space. These transformations play a signiicant role in relation to integrable system theory. Surfaces of constant mean curvature turn out to be special among all isothermic surfaces: their parallel constant mean curvature surfaces are Christooel and Darboux transforms at the same time. We prove | as a generalization of Bianchi's theorem on minimal Darboux transforms of minimal surfaces | that constant mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean space allow 1 3 Darboux transforms into surfaces of constant mean curvature. We indicate the connection of these Darboux transforms to BB acklund transforms of spherical surfaces.

Polar transform of Spacelike isothermic surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentzian space forms

The conformal geometry of spacelike surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentzian space forms has been studied by the authors in a previous paper, where the so-called polar transform was introduced. Here it is shown that this transform preserves spacelike conformal isothermic surfaces. We relate this new transform with the known transforms (Darboux transform and spectral transform) of isothermic surface...

A discrete version of the Darboux transform for isothermic surfaces

We study Christoffel and Darboux transforms of discrete isothermic nets in 4-dimensional Euclidean space: definitions and basic properties are derived. Analogies with the smooth case are discussed and a definition for discrete Ribaucour congruences is given. Surfaces of constant mean curvature are special among all isothermic surfaces: they can be characterized by the fact that their parallel c...

The Bianchi–darboux Transform of L-isothermic Surfaces

Certain types of integrable non-linear PDEs (soliton equations) arise in differential geometry as compatibility conditions for the linear equations obeyed by frames adapted to surfaces in higher dimensional manifolds. In a number of situations, the construction of new solutions of the arising PDE relies on the existence of Bäcklund type transformations for the surfaces and on their permutabilit...

Transformations of discrete isothermic nets and discrete cmc-1 surfaces in hyperbolic space

Using a quaternionic calculus, the Christoffel, Darboux, Goursat, and spectral transformations for discrete isothermic nets are described, with their interrelations. The Darboux and spectral transformations are used to define discrete analogs for cmc-1 surfaces in hyperbolic space and to obtain a discrete version of Bryant's Weierstrass type representation.

Special Isothermic Surfaces and Solitons

We establish a correspondence between Darboux’s special isothermic surfaces of type (A, 0, C, D) and the solutions of the second order p.d.e. Φ∆Φ − |∇Φ| + Φ = s, s ∈ R. We then use the classical Darboux transformation for isothermic surfaces to construct a Bäcklund transformation for this equation and prove a superposition formula for its solutions. As an application we discuss 1 and 2-soliton ...
