Abstract: We exhibit several transformations of surfaces in R^4. First, one that takes a flat surface and gets a surface with flat normal bundle; then, one that takes a surface with flat normal bundle and gets a flat surface; finally, a one-parameter family of transformations on a flat surface with flat normal bundle and gives a flat surface with flat normal bundle. This family satisfies a permutability property.


From the author's abstract: We exhibit several transformations of surfaces \(M\) in \(\mathbb{R}^4\): a transformation of flat surfaces that gives surfaces with flat normal bundle (semiumbilical surfaces); and its inverse that from a semiumbilical surface obtains a flat surface; then a one-parameter family of transformations \(f\) on flat semiumbilical immersed surfaces (FSIS), such that \(df(T_pM)\) is totally orthogonal to \(T_pM,\) and that give FSIS. This family satisfies a Bianchi type permutability property.
