Euclidean Isometries and Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we attempt a classification of the euclidean isometries and surfaces. Using isometry groups, we prove the Killing-Hopf theorem, which states that all complete, connected euclidean spaces are either a cylinder, twisted cylinder, torus, or klein bottle.

Schlesinger Transformations for Bonnet Surfaces
Bonnet surfaces, i.e. surfaces in Euclidean 3-space, which admits a one-parameter family of isometries preserving the mean curvature function, can be described in terms of solutions of some special Painlev e equations. The goal of this work is to use the well-known Schlesinger transformations for solutions of Painlev e VI equations to create new Bonnet surfaces from a known one.
متن کاملLinear Weingarten surfaces in Euclidean and hyperbolic space
In this paper we review some author’s results about Weingarten surfaces in Euclidean space R 3 and hyperbolic space H 3 . We stress here in the search of examples of linear Weingarten surfaces that satisfy a certain geometric property. First, we consider Weingarten surfaces in R 3 that are foliated by circles, proving that the surface is rotational, a Riemann example or a generalized cone. Next...
متن کاملCharacterizations of Slant Ruled Surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space
In this study, we give the relationships between the conical curvatures of ruled surfaces generated by the unit vectors of the ruling, central normal and central tangent of a ruled surface in the Euclidean 3-space E^3. We obtain differential equations characterizing slant ruled surfaces and if the reference ruled surface is a slant ruled surface, we give the conditions for the surfaces generate...
متن کاملRigidity of quasi-isometries for symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings
for all x ∈ X . Quasi-isometries occur naturally in the study of the geometry of discrete groups since the length spaces on which a given finitely generated group acts cocompactly and properly discontinuously by isometries are quasi-isometric to one another [Gro]. Quasi-isometries also play a crucial role in Mostow’s proof of his rigidity theorem: the theorem is proved by showing that equivaria...
متن کاملOn Intrinsic Isometries to Euclidean Space
Compact metric spaces that admit intrinsic isometries to the Euclidean d-space are considered. Roughly, the main result states that the class of such spaces coincides with the class of inverse limits of Euclidean d-polyhedra. §
