چکیده
The standard conformal compactification of Euclidean space is the round sphere. We use conformal geodesics to give an elementary proof that this is the only possible conformal compactification.

We describe decomposition formulas for rotations of R 3 and R 4 that have special properties with respect to stereographic projection. We use the lower dimensional decomposition to analyze stereographic projections of great circles in S 2 R 3. This analysis provides a pattern for our analysis of stereographic projections of the Cliiord torus C S 3 R 4. We use the higher dimensional decompositio...
متن کاملHuge Singly Periodic Minimal Surfaces in R 3 and Symmetries
First of all, we are going to start by giving a brief outline of the development of SPMS 1. During the last century or more the only known SPMS with innnite number of ends were the Riemann examples. At the begining of the 90's, a large quantity of new examples appeared thanks to the work of Callahan, Hooman, Meeks, Wolgemuth, among others. A problem of classiication then arose due to the appear...
متن کاملAvatars at the Flying Palace Stereographic panoramas of Angkor Cambodia
EN) The paper documents the creation in 2004 of real-world stereographic panoramas at the UNESCO world heritage listed site Angkor, in Cambodia. The project builds upon the history of the panorama as a medium of virtual travel that has existed from the eighteenth century. The significance of the current project is the way in which real-world (as opposed to computer generated) stereographic pano...
متن کاملTori Embedded in R with Dense Principal Lines
In this paper are given examples of tori T embedded in R with all their principal lines dense. These examples are obtained by stereographic projection of deformations of the Clifford torus in S.
متن کاملA Multiuser Multiperspective Stereographic QTVR Browser Complemented by Java3D Visualizer and Emulator
To support multiperspective and stereographic image display systems intended for multiuser applications, we have developed two integrated multiuser multiperspective stereographic “browsers,” respectively featuring IBR-generated egocentric and CG exocentric perspectives. The first one described, “VR4U2C” (‘virtual reality for you to see’), uses Apple’s QuickTime VR technology and the Java progra...
