Pseudospherical surfaces with singularities
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We study a generalization of constant Gauss curvature -1 surfaces in Euclidean 3-space, based on Lorentzian harmonic maps, that we call pseudospherical frontals. We analyze the singularities of these surfaces, dividing them into those of characteristic and non-characteristic type. We give methods for constructing all non-degenerate singularities of both types, as well as many degenerate singularities. We also give a method for solving the singular geometric Cauchy problem: construct a pseudospherical frontal containing a given regular space curve as a non-degenerate singular curve. The solution is unique for most curves, but for some curves there are infinitely many solutions, and this is encoded in the curvature and torsion of the curve.
Based on Lorentzian harmonic maps, the author generalizes surfaces of constant Gauss curvature \(-1\) in Euclidean \(3\)-space as pseudospherical frontals, and analyse the singularities of these surfaces by dividing them into those of characteristic and non-characteristic type. He gives methods for constructing all non-degenerate singularities of both types as well as many degenerate singularities, and also gives a method for solving the singular geometric Cauchy problem, which constructs a pseudospherical frontal containing a given regular space curve as a non-degenerate singular curve.
