A Monge normal form for the rolling distribution

Differential Geometry 2021-03-04 v1

Abstract

Using a parametrisation of sl2sl_2 given by the second prolongation of the group action of unimodular fractional linear transformations as presented in an article of Clarkson and Olver, we find a Monge normal form describing the rolling of two hyperboloid surfaces over each other.
