Relaxed hyperelastic curves

Ahmet Yücesan, Gözde Özkan, Yasemín Yay (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We define relaxed hyperelastic curve, which is a generalization of relaxed elastic lines, on an oriented surface in three-dimensional Euclidean space E³, and we derive the intrinsic equations for a relaxed hyperelastic curve on a surface. Then, by examining relaxed hyperelastic curves in a plane, on a sphere and on a cylinder, we show that geodesics are relaxed hyperelastic curves in a plane and on a sphere. But on a cylinder, they are relaxed hyperelastic curves only in special cases. ...

Surfaces in 3-space that do not lift to embeddings in 4-space

J. Carter, Masahico Saito (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

A necessary and sufficient condition for an immersed surface in 3-space to be lifted to an embedding in 4-space is given in terms of colorings of the preimage of the double point set. Giller's example and two new examples of non-liftable generic surfaces in 3-space are presented. One of these examples has branch points. The other is based on a construction similar to the construction of Giller's example in which the orientation double cover of a surface with odd Euler characteristic...
