Classes of Weingarten Surfaces in S^2xR
Abstract
In this work we study surfaces in radial conformally flat spaces. We characterize surfaces of rotation with constant Gaussian and Extrinsic curvature in these radial 3-spaces. We prove that all the spheres in the conformal 3-space have constant Gaussian curvature if, and only if, the conformal factor is special. In this special case we study geometric properties of this ambient 3-space, and as an application we prove that it is isometric to the space , so we consider it as the {\em Radial Model} of . We obtain two classes of Weingarten surfaces in the {\em Radial Model}, which satisfy and , where is the Gaussian curvature, is the mean curvature and is the extrinsic curvature. Moreover, by using the relations between the curvatures of the {\em Radial Model} and the curvatures with respect to the euclidean metric ([CPS]), we prove that first class the Weingarten surfaces in {\em Radial Model} corresponds, up to isometries, to the minimal surfaces in , and second class corresponds to EDSGHW - surfaces in Euclidean space (\cite{DC}). Consequently these two classes of surfaces have a Weierstrass type representation depending on two holomorphic functions.
