Abstract
We give a full classification of complete rotationally invariant surfaces with constant Gauss curvature in Berger spheres: they are either Clifford tori, which are flat, or spheres of Gauss curvature for a positive constant , which we determine explicitly and depends on the geometry of the ambient Berger sphere. For values of , for a specific constant , it was not known until now whether complete constant Gauss curvature surfaces existed in Berger spheres, so our classification provides the first examples. For , we prove that the rotationally invariant spheres from our classification are the only topological spheres with constant Gauss curvature in Berger spheres.
