Principal Lines on Surfaces Immersed with Constant Mean Curvature
نویسنده
چکیده
Configurations of lines of principal curvature on constant mean curvature immersed surfaces are studied. Analytical models for these configurations near general isolated umbilical points and particular types of ends are found. From the existence of transversal invariant measures for the foliations by principal lines, established here, follows that the union of recurrent lines of principal curvature is an open set. Examples illustrating all possible cases are given.

Harmonic Mean Curvature Lines on Surfaces Immersed in R Ronaldo Garcia and Jorge Sotomayor
Consider oriented surfaces immersed in R. Associated to them, here are studied pairs of transversal foliations with singularities, defined on the Elliptic region, where the Gaussian curvature K, given by the product of the principal curvatures k1, k2 is positive. The leaves of the foliations are the lines of harmonic mean curvature, also called characteristic or diagonal lines, along which the ...
متن کاملStructurally Stable Configurations of Lines of Mean Curvature and Umbilic Points on Surfaces Immersed in R
In this paper we study the pairs of orthogonal foliations on oriented surfaces immersed in R3 whose singularities and leaves are, respectively, the umbilic points and the lines of normal mean curvature of the immersion. Along these lines the immersions bend in R3 according to their normal mean curvature. By analogy with the closely related Principal Curvature Configurations studied in [S-G], [G...

متن کاملSurfaces of Constant Curvature in the Pseudo-Galilean Space
We develop the local theory of surfaces immersed in the pseudo-Galilean space, a special type of Cayley-Klein spaces. We define principal, Gaussian, and mean curvatures. By this, the general setting for study of surfaces of constant curvature in the pseudo-Galilean space is provided. We describe surfaces of revolution of constant curvature. We introduce special local coordinates for surfaces of...
