Higher-dimensional and -codimensional surfaces in Euclidean and related (n)-spaces (53A07)

Abstract: We produce a new general family of flat tori in R^4, the first one since Bianchi's classical works in the 19th century. To construct these flat tori, obtained via small perturbation of certain Hopf tori in S^3, we first present a global description of all isometric immersions of R^2 into R^4 with flat normal bundle.

Review text

The authors construct a large family of new flat tori in \(\mathbb R^4\), which are with flat normal bundle and regular Gauss map. These tori are not contained in any affine 3-sphere and cannot be expressed as the product of two curves. To do that they first apply the representation formula of Sect.~3 of this paper to obtain a procedure of unfolding a Hopf torus in \(S^3\), so that one gets a flat surface in \(\mathbb R^4\) (possibly with singular points) with flat normal bundle that does not lie in any affine 3-sphere in \(\mathbb R^4\). Then they show that for a certain family of Hopf tori this procedure generates flat tori in \(\mathbb R^4\).
