Rotational diffeomorphisms on Euclidean spaces (Q919636)

A diffeomorphism \(\rho\) of a 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold onto another one is said to be rotational iff for each geodesic \(\gamma\) the curve \(\rho\circ \gamma\) is an isoperimetric rotational minimal curve. The paper contains a characterization of rotational diffeomorphisms by invariants satisfying some differential equations. A characterization of a rotational surface in \(E_ 3\) among 2-dimensional Riemannian manifolds is obtained as a corollary. Some canonical shapes of metrics of 2-dimensional Riemannian manifolds admitting a rotationally conformal diffeomorphism is established.
