Constant curvature surfaces in a pseudo-isotropic space

Differential Geometry 2018-11-13 v2

Abstract

In this study, we deal with the local structure of curves and surfaces immersed in a pseudo-isotropic space I_{p}^{3} that is a particular Cayley-Klein space. We provide the formulas of curvature, torsion and Frenet trihedron in order for spacelike and timelike curves. The causal character of all admissible surfaces in I_{p}^{3} has to be timelike or lightlike up to its absolute. We introduce the formulas of Gaussian and mean curvature for timelike surfaces in I_{p}^{3}. As applications, we describe the surfaces of revolution which are the orbits of a plane curve under a hyperbolic rotation with constant Gaussian and mean curvature.
