On the Invariant Theory of Weingarten Surfaces in Euclidean Space

چکیده
We prove that any strongly regular Weingarten surface in Euclidean space carries locally geometric principal parameters. The basic theorem states that any strongly regular Weingarten surface is determined up to a motion by its structural functions and the normal curvature function satisfying a geometric differential equation. We apply these results to the special Weingarten surfaces: minimal surfaces, surfaces of constant mean curvature and surfaces of constant Gauss curvature.

Linear 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 کاملOn the Theory of Surfaces in the Four-dimensional Euclidean Space
For a two-dimensional surface M in the four-dimensional Euclidean space E we introduce an invariant linear map of Weingarten type in the tangent space of the surface, which generates two invariants k and κ. The condition k = κ = 0 characterizes the surfaces consisting of flat points. The minimal surfaces are characterized by the equality κ − k = 0. The class of the surfaces with flat normal con...
متن کاملLinear Weingarten Helicoidal Surfaces in Isotropic Space
Introduced in 1861 [1], a Weingarten surface in the Euclidean three-dimensional space E3 is a surface M, whose mean curvature H and Gaussian curvature K satisfy a non-trivial relation Φ(H, K) = 0. Such a surface was introduced by Weingarten. The class of Weingarten surfaces is remarkably large, and it consists of intriguing surfaces in the Euclidean space: the constant mean curvature surfaces, ...
متن کاملCoordinate finite type invariant surfaces in Sol spaces
In the present paper, we study surfaces invariant under the 1-parameter subgroup in Sol space $rm Sol_3$. Also, we characterize the surfaces in $rm Sol_3$ whose coordinate functions of an immersion of the surface are eigenfunctions of the Laplacian $Delta$ of the surface.
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...
