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

Semi-discrete Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces
We study semi-discrete surfaces in three dimensional euclidean space which are defined on a parameter domain consisting of one smooth and one discrete parameter. More precisely, we consider only those surfaces which are glued together from individual developable surface strips. In particular we investigate minimal surfaces and constant mean curvature (cmc) surfaces with non vanishing mean curva...
متن کاملS-conical cmc surfaces. Towards a unified theory of discrete surfaces with constant mean curvature
A variety of approaches have been pursued to obtain a notion of discrete constant mean curvature (cmc) surfaces. Two different starting points arise from the interpretation of cmc surfaces as critical points of an area functional [9, 16], and on the other hand from an integrable systems point of view [4, 10]. One principal difference of the two approaches is that, in the first approach, the und...
متن کاملPlanar Discrete Isothermic Nets of Conical Type
We explore a specific discretization of isothermic nets in the plane which can also be interpreted as a discrete holomorphic map. The discrete orthogonality of the quadrilateral net is achieved by the so called conical condition imposed on vertex stars. That is, the sums of opposite angles between edges around all vertices are equal. This conical condition makes it possible to define a family o...
متن کاملIsothermic surfaces in sphere geometries as Moutard nets
We give an elaborated treatment of discrete isothermic surfaces and their analogs in different geometries (projective, Möbius, Laguerre, Lie). We find the core of the theory to be a novel projective characterization of discrete isothermic nets as Moutard nets. The latter belong to projective geometry and are nets with planar faces defined through a five-point property: a vertex and its four dia...
متن کاملA 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...
