Abstract

We discuss a specific type of pseudospherical surfaces defined by a class of third order differential equations, of the form utuxxt=λu2uxxx+G(u,ux,uxx)u_t - u_{xxt} = \lambda u^2 u_{xxx} + G(u, u_x, u_{xx}), and poses a question about the dependence of the triples {a,b,c}\{a,b,c\} of the second fundamental form in the context of local isometric immersion in E3\mathbb{E}^3. It is demonstrated that the triples {a,b,c}\{a,b,c\} of the second fundamental form are not influenced by a jet of finite order of uu. Instead, they are shown to rely on a jet of order zero, making them universal and not reliant on the specific solution chosen for uu.
