CLASSIFICATIONS OF ROTATION SURFACES IN PSEUDO-EUCLIDEAN SPACE

From MaRDI portal





In this excellently written paper the authors study surfaces of revolution in the 4-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space \(E^4_2\) and give complete classification theorems for the flat rotation surfaces with finite type Gauss map, pointwise \(1\)-type Gauss map and an equation in terms of the mean curvature vector. As a main result the following theorem is prooved: Let \(M\) be a flat surface of revolution of type I (resp. type II) in \(E^4_2\). Then the following statements are equivalent: 1. the Gauss map \(G\) on \(M\) is of finite type, 2. the Gauss map \(G\) on \(M\) is of \(1\)-type, 3. \(M\) is the product of two plane hyperbolas resp. the product of a plane circle and a plane hyperbola. The work is completed by precisely cited references.
