Curvature surfaces in generic conformally flat hypersurfaces arising from Poincar\'{e} metric -- Extension and Approximation
Abstract
We study generic conformally flat (analytic-)hypersurfaces in the Euclidean -space . Such a local-hypersurface is obtained as an evolution of surfaces issuing from a certain surface in , and then, in consequence, the original surface is a (principal-)curvature surface of the hypersurface. The Poincar\'{e} metric of the upper half plane leads to a -dimensional set of rational Riemannian metrics of : on a simply connected open set in the regular domain of , a curvature surface with the metric is determined, which we denote by . In this paper, we choose a suitable metric of determined by to get nice curvature surfaces (but it also has degenerate and divergent points in ), and clarify the structure of the curvature surfaces : the curvature surfaces extend analytically to what kind of set in beyond the regular set of , and then the extended surface is defined on a certain open set of and bounded in ; for the extended surface , we explicitly catch the set of degenerate points and the limits in of both ends of every principal curvature line, and then the two limits of every line for one principal curvature are parallel small circles in a standard -sphere . Then, every principal curvature line in the extended surface is expressed by a frame field of induced on the surface from a hypersurface and it lies on a standard -sphere with line-dependent radius. We also provide a general method of constructing an approximation of such frame fields, and obtain the entire pictures of those lines including degenerate points of .
