The Liouville parametrization of a triaxial ellipsoid

Differential Geometry 2014-10-09 v2

Abstract

In this article we will construct the Liouville parametrization of the triaxial ellipsoid. In the literature quadrics are given as examples of Liouville surfaces, yet no one gives such a parametrization. For this we introduce the generalized Jacobi amplitude as inverse of the elliptic integral of the third kind.
