Discrete Flat Surfaces and Linear Weingarten Surfaces in Hyperbolic 3-space
نویسندگان
چکیده
We define discrete flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space H from the perspective of discrete integrable systems and prove properties that justify the definition. We show how these surfaces correspond to previously defined discrete constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in H, and we also describe discrete focal surfaces (discrete caustics) that can be used to define singularities on discrete flat surfaces. Along the way, we also examine discrete linear Weingarten surfaces of Bryant type in H, and consider an example of a discrete flat surface related to the Airy equation that exhibits swallowtail singularities and a Stoke’s phenomenon.

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 کاملRotational linear Weingarten surfaces of hyperbolic type
A linear Weingarten surface in Euclidean space R 3 is a surface whose mean curvature H and Gaussian curvature K satisfy a relation of the form aH + bK = c, where a, b, c ∈ R. Such a surface is said to be hyperbolic when a + 4bc < 0. In this paper we classify all rotational linear Weingarten surfaces of hyperbolic type. As a consequence, we obtain a family of complete hyperbolic linear Weingarte...
متن کاملParabolic Weingarten surfaces in hyperbolic space
A surface in hyperbolic space H 3 invariant by a group of parabolic isometries is called a parabolic surface. In this paper we investigate parabolic surfaces of H 3 that satisfy a linear Weingarten relation of the form aκ1 + bκ2 = c or aH + bK = c, where a, b, c ∈ R and, as usual, κi are the principal curvatures, H is the mean curvature and K is de Gaussian curvature. We classify all parabolic ...
متن کاملA Characterization of Weingarten Surfaces in Hyperbolic 3-space
We study 2-dimensional submanifolds of the space L(H) of oriented geodesics of hyperbolic 3-space, endowed with the canonical neutral Kähler structure. Such a surface is Lagrangian iff there exists a surface in H orthogonal to the geodesics of Σ. We prove that the induced metric on a Lagrangian surface in L(H) has zero Gauss curvature iff the orthogonal surfaces in H are Weingarten: the eigenva...
متن کاملComplete Linear Weingarten Surfaces of Bryant Type. a Plateau Problem at Infinity
In this paper we study a large class of Weingarten surfaces which includes the constant mean curvature one surfaces and flat surfaces in the hyperbolic 3-space. We show that these surfaces can be parametrized by holomorphic data like minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space and we use it to study their completeness. We also establish some existence and uniqueness theorems by studing the Platea...
