Characterizing a surface by invariants

Abstract: Canonical principal parameters are introduced for surfaces in mathbbR3 without umbilical points. It is proved that in these parameters the surface is determined (up to position in space) by a pair of invariants satisfying a partial differential equation equivalent to the Gauss equation. As such a pair of invariants we may use the principal curvatures or the Gauss and the mean curvature.
