Parabolic surfaces in hyperbolic space with constant Gaussian curvature (Q2389176)

The author describes all parabolic rotation surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature in three-dimensional hyperbolic space \(\mathbb H^3\). A parabolic surface in hyperbolic space is a surface invariant by a group of parabolic isometries. A parabolic group of isometries on hyperbolic space is a group of isometries that admits a fixed double point of the ideal boundary of hyperbolic space and it can be assumed that such a group is defined by horizontal (Euclidean) translation. Assuming that a horizontal vector defines the given parabolic group of isometries, the author derives the equation for the curvature of a parabolic surface and from this, he obtains that any parabolic surface in \(\mathbb H^3\) with constant Gaussian curvature \(K\) is a vertical geodesic plane parallel to the horizontal vector or it is a graph on a strip of \(xy\)-plane. This implies in particular that such a surface is embedded. Moreover the author also shows that any non-umbilical parabolic surface with constant Gaussian curvature \(K\) in \(\mathbb H^3\) with \(K<-1\) or \(K\geq 0\) is not complete and its asymptotic boundary is the point fixed by the group of isometries. In case \(-1\leq K<0\), the author proves that there exists a non-umbilical complete parabolic surface in \(\mathbb H^3\) with constant Gaussian curvature \(K\) and for such a surface, the asymptotic boundary is formed by two circles tangent at the point fixed by the group of parabolic isometries.
