The PDE describing constant mean curvature surfaces

Hongyou Wu (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We give an expository account of a Weierstrass type representation of the non-zero constant mean curvature surfaces in space and discuss the meaning of the representation from the point of view of partial differential equations.

Invariants and Bonnet-type theorem for surfaces in ℝ4

Georgi Ganchev, Velichka Milousheva (2010)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In the tangent plane at any point of a surface in the four-dimensional Euclidean space we consider an invariant linear map ofWeingarten-type and find a geometrically determined moving frame field. Writing derivative formulas of Frenet-type for this frame field, we obtain eight invariant functions. We prove a fundamental theorem of Bonnet-type, stating that these eight invariants under some natural conditions determine the surface up to a motion. We show that the basic geometric classes...

On the Regularity of Alexandrov Surfaces with Curvature Bounded Below

Luigi Ambrosio, Jérôme Bertrand (2016)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Similarity:

In this note, we prove that on a surface with Alexandrov’s curvature bounded below, the distance derives from a Riemannian metric whose components, for any p ∈ [1, 2), locally belong to W1,p out of a discrete singular set. This result is based on Reshetnyak’s work on the more general class of surfaces with bounded integral curvature.
