Complete flat surfaces with two isolated singularities in hyperbolic 3-space

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We construct examples of flat surfaces in mathbbH3 which are graphs over a two-punctured horosphere and classify complete embedded flat surfaces in mathbbH3 with only one end and at most two isolated singularities.


The goal of this article is to study the family of complete flat surfaces with two isolated singularities in hyperbolic 3-space. Contents: importance of the subject, flat surfaces in \(H^3\) with isolated singularities, canonical examples (notational examples, examples with two isolated singularities) and characterizations. The authors classify complete embedded flat surfaces in \(H^3\) with either one or two isolated singularities and only one end. Theorem 1: ``The revolution examples are the unique complete flat embeddings in \(H^3\) with only one isolated singularity and one end. The result is complete by Theorem 2: ``Each complete flat embedding in \(H^3\) with only two isolated singularities and one end must be congruent to one of the canonical examples. For the proof the authors construct standard examples of flat surfaces in \(H^3\) which are graphs over a two-punctured horosphere. Theorem 3: ``Each canonical example \(\psi:\mathbb{A}_r\setminus\{z_0\}\to H^3\) is a complete flat embedding with two isolated singularities and one end. Finally, a certain Appendix is presented. The method use is constructive.
