Isothermic Surfaces and Hopf Cylinders
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on the work of Pinkall, characterizations of spherical curves are given whose corresponding Hopf cylinders are isothermic surfaces in the threedimensional sphere. Comparing these characterizations with results of Langer and Singer about elastic spherical curves we determine all isothermic Willmore Hopf tori.

Time-Like Isothermic Surfaces Associated to Grassmannian Systems
We establish that, as is the case with space-like isothermic surfaces, time-like isothermic surfaces in pseudo-riemannian space R n−j,j are associated to the O(n− j + 1, j + 1)/O(n− j, j)×O(1, 1)system. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 53A35; Secondary53C40.
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 کاملNot yet Determined Manuscript-nr. Remarks on the Darboux Transform of Isothermic Surfaces
We study Darboux and Christooel transforms of isothermic surfaces in Euclidean space. These transformations play a signiicant role in relation to integrable system theory. Surfaces of constant mean curvature turn out to be special among all isothermic surfaces: their parallel constant mean curvature surfaces are Christooel and Darboux transforms at the same time. We prove | as a generalization ...
متن کاملBlaschke ’ s problem for timelike surfaces in pseudo - Riemannian space forms
We show that isothermic surfaces and S-Willmore surfaces are also the solutions to the corresponding Blaschke’s problem for both spacelike and timelike surfaces in pseudoRiemannian space forms. For timelike surfaces both Willmore and isothermic, we obtain a description by minimal surfaces similar to the classical results of Thomsen.
متن کاملConformal Deformation of Spacelike Surfaces in Minkowski Space
We address the problem of second order conformal deformation of spacelike surfaces in compactified Minkowski 4-space. We explain the construction of the exterior differential system of conformal deformations and discuss its general and singular solutions. In particular, we show that isothermic surfaces are singular solutions of the system, which implies that a generic second order deformable su...
