Abstract: The purpose of this article is to give a geometric interpretation to the so-called "twelve surfaces of Darboux", or "Darboux wreath", which appear by applying repeatedly certain simple transformations to a given infinitesimal isometric deformation of a surface in euclidean three space. This interpretation is a differential-geometric version of triality, concerning totally isotropic surfaces immersed in the real 6-dimensional projective quadric defined by a quadratic form of neutral signature (4,4).

Review text

This article gives a geometric interpretation of the ``twelve surfaces of Darboux, which appear by repeatedly applying a simple transformation to an infinitesimal isometric deformation of a surface in three-dimensional Euclidean space. This interpretation of Darboux's theorem is a differentiable version of the triality of totally isotropic immersions of surfaces in the real projective quadric of dimension 6 defined by a quadratic form of neutral signature \((4,4)\).
