On the Height of a Capillary Surface.
Let r = 3, 4, ... , ∞, ω. The Cr-Carathéodory's Conjecture states that every Cr convex embedding of a 2-sphere into R3 must have at least two umbilics. The Cr-Loewner's conjecture (stronger than the one of Carathéodory) states that there are no umbilics of index bigger than one. We show that these two conjectures are equivalent to others about planar vector fields. For instance, if r ≠ ω, Cr-Carathéodory's Conjecture is equivalent to the following one:Let ρ > 0 and β: U ⊂ R2 → R, be of class...
In this paper, we classify polynomial translation surfaces in Euclidean 3-space satisfying the Jacobi condition with respect to the Gaussian curvature, the mean curvature and the second Gaussian curvature.
