Abstract: A quaternionic calculus for surface pairs in the conformal 4-sphere is elaborated. This calculus is then used to discuss the relation between curved flats in the symmetric space of point pairs and Darboux and Christoffel pairs of isothermic surfaces. A new viewpoint on relations between surfaces of constant mean curvature in certain space forms is presented --- in particular, a new form of Bryant's Weierstrass type representation for surfaces of constant mean curvature 1 in hyperbolic 3-space is given.

Review text

[This paper is a supplement to the paper by \textit{U. Hertrich-Jeromin} and \textit{F. Pedit}, ibid., 313-333 (1997; Zbl 0892.53003), reviewed above.] A quaternionic calculus for surface pairs in the conformal \(4\)-sphere is elaborated. Then this calculus is used to discuss the relation of Darboux and Christoffel pairs of isothermic surfaces and curved flats in the symmetric space of point pairs.
