Abstract

For every real numbers a1a \geqslant 1, b1b \geqslant 1 with (a,b)(1,1)(a,b) \neq (1,1), the curve parametrized by θR\theta \in \mathbb{R} valued in C2R4\mathbb{C}^2 \cong \mathbb{R}^4 γ ⁣:   θ(x(θ)+1y(θ),u(θ)+1v(θ)) \gamma\, \colon \ \ \ \theta \,\,\,\longmapsto\,\,\, \big( x(\theta)+{\scriptstyle{\sqrt{-1}}}\,y(\theta),\,\, u(\theta)+{\scriptstyle{\sqrt{-1}}}\,v(\theta) \big) with components: x(θ):=a1a(ab1)cosθ,     y(θ):=b(a1)ab1sinθ,     u(θ):=b1b(ab1)sinθ,     v(θ):=a(b1)ab1cosθ, x(\theta) \,:=\, {\textstyle{\sqrt{\frac{a-1}{a\,(ab-1)}}}}\, \cos\,\theta, \ \ \ \ \ y(\theta) \,:=\, {\textstyle{\sqrt{\frac{b\,(a-1)}{ab-1}}}}\, \sin\,\theta, \ \ \ \ \ u(\theta) \,:=\, {\textstyle{\sqrt{\frac{b-1}{b\,(ab-1)}}}}\, \sin\,\theta, \ \ \ \ \ v(\theta) \,:=\, -\, {\textstyle{\sqrt{\frac{a\,(b-1)}{ab-1}}}}\, \cos\,\theta, has image contained in the CR-umbilical locus: γ(R)UmbCR(Ea,b)Ea,b \gamma(\mathbb{R}) \,\subset\, {\sf UmbCR} \big({\sf E}_{a,b}\big) \,\subset\, {\sf E}_{a,b} of the ellipsoid Ea,bC2{\sf E}_{a,b} \subset \mathbb{C}^2 of equation ax2+y2+bu2+y2=1a\,x^2+y^2+b\,u^2+y^2 = 1.
