Timelike Christoffel pairs in the split-quaternions

M. P. Dussan, M. Magid (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We characterize the Christoffel pairs of timelike isothermic surfaces in the four-dimensional split-quaternions. When restricting the receiving space to the three-dimensional imaginary split-quaternions, we establish an equivalent condition for a timelike surface in ℝ³₂ to be real or complex isothermic in terms of the existence of integrating factors.

On surface braids of index four with at most two crossings

Teruo Nagase, Akiko Shima (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let Γ be a 4-chart with at most two crossings. We show that if the closure of the surface braid obtained from Γ is one 2-sphere, then the sphere is a ribbon surface.
