Lorentzian isothermic surfaces and Bonnet pairs

M. A. Magid (2004)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Lorentzian surfaces in Lorentz three-space are studied using an indefinite version of the quaternions. A classification theorem for Bonnet pairs in Lorentz three-space is obtained.

Non-Euclidean geometry and differential equations

A. Popov (1996)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper a geometrical link between partial differential equations (PDE) and special coordinate nets on two-dimensional smooth manifolds with the a priori given curvature is suggested. The notion of G-class (the Gauss class) of differential equations admitting such an interpretation is introduced. The perspective of this approach is the possibility of applying the instruments and methods of non-Euclidean geometry to the investigation of differential equations. The equations generated by the...

On superminimal surfaces

Thomas Friedrich (1997)

Archivum Mathematicum

Using the Cartan method O. Boruvka (see [B1], [B2]) studied superminimal surfaces in four-dimensional space forms. In particular, he described locally the family of all superminimal surfaces and classified all of them with a constant radius of the indicatrix. We discuss the mentioned results from the point of view of the twistor theory, providing some new proofs. It turns out that the superminimal surfaces investigated by geometers at the beginning of this century as well as by O. Boruvka...
