A duality for Guichard nets

Differential Geometry 2019-04-25 v1

Abstract

In this paper we study G-surfaces, a rather unknown surface class originally defined by Calapso, and show that the coordinate surfaces of a Guichard net are G-surfaces. Based on this observation, we present distinguished Combescure transformations that provide a duality for Guichard nets. Another class of special Combescure transformations is then used to construct a B\"acklund-type transformation for Guichard nets. In this realm a permutability theorem for the dual systems is proven.
