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 K=1K=1 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 S2×R{\mathbb{S}}^2\times {\mathbb{R}}, so we consider it as the {\em Radial Model} of S2×R{\mathbb{S}}^2\times {\mathbb{R}}. We obtain two classes of Weingarten surfaces in the {\em Radial Model}, which satisfy K~E+H~2K~=0\tilde{K}_E+\tilde{H}^2-\tilde{K}=0 and 2K~EK~=02\tilde{K}_E-\tilde{K}=0 , where K~\tilde{K} is the Gaussian curvature, H~\tilde{H} is the mean curvature and K~E\tilde{K}_E 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 R3\mathbb{R}^3, and second class corresponds to EDSGHW - surfaces in Euclidean space R3 \mathbb{R} ^ 3(\cite{DC}). Consequently these two classes of surfaces have a Weierstrass type representation depending on two holomorphic functions.
