The concept of a normal surface in a triangulated, compact 3-manifold was generalised by Thurston to a spun-normal surface in a non-compact 3-manifold with ideal triangulation. This paper defines a boundary curve map which takes a…
In this note, using some regular triangular tilings of the sphere, the Euclidean plane and the hyperbolic plane, we examine the potential relationship between their discrete Bakry - Emery curvatures and the smooth curvatures of their…
It is well known that the only surfaces that are simultaneously minimal in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and maximal in $\mathbb{L}^3$ are open pieces of helicoids (in the region in which they are spacelike) and of spacelike planes (O. Kobayashi 1983).…
We investigate ruled surfaces in 3d Riemannian manifolds, i.e., surfaces foliated by geodesics. In 3d space forms, we find the striction curve, distribution parameter, and the first and second fundamental forms, from which we obtain the…
The well known formulas express the curvature and the torsion of a curve in $R^3$ in terms of euclidean invariants of its derivatives. We obtain expressions of this kind for all curvatures of curves in $R^n$. It follows that a curve in…
In this paper we classify certain special ruled surfaces in $\R^3$ under the general theorem of characterization of constant angle surfaces. We study the tangent developable and conical surfaces from the point of view the constant angle…
A translation surface of Euclidean space $\r^3$ is the sum of two regular curves $\alpha$ and $\beta$, called the generating curves. In this paper we classify the minimal translation surfaces of $\r^3$ and we give a method of construction…
This is the English translation of Leonhard Euler's Latin paper "De solidis quorum superficiem in planum explicare licet". Euler explains several methods to obtain equations for developable surfaces. Therefore, this paper might be…
Cyclidic nets are introduced as discrete analogs of curvature line parametrized surfaces and orthogonal coordinate systems. A 2-dimensional cyclidic net is a piecewise smooth $C^1$-surface built from surface patches of Dupin cyclides, each…
We study families of $K3$ surfaces obtained by double covering of the projective plane branching along curves of $(2,3)$-torus type. In the first part, we study the Picard lattices of the families, and a lattice duality of them. In the…
A generic surface in Euclidean 3-space is determined uniquely by its metric and curvature. Classification of all special surfaces where this is not the case, i.e. of surfaces possessing isometries which preserve the mean curvature, is known…
We study invariant surfaces generated by one-parameter subgroups of simply and pseudo isotropic rigid motions. Basically, the simply and pseudo isotropic geometries are the study of a three-dimensional space equipped with a rank 2 metric of…
In this paper we consider the equiform motion of a sphere in Euclidean space $\mathbf{E}^7$. We study and analyze the corresponding kinematic three dimensional surface under the hypothesis that its scalar curvature $\mathbf{K}$ is constant.…
There are three complete plane geometries of constant curvature: spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry. We explain how a closed oriented surface can carry a geometry which locally looks like one of these. Focussing on the hyperbolic…
We investigate the singularities of two-ruled hypersurfaces in the Euclidean four-space. By considering the points that minimize the distance between adjacent rulings, we obtain a characterization the striction curve. We introduce the…
A twisted curve in Euclidean 3-space E^3 can be considered as a curve whose position vector can be written as linear combination of its Frenet vectors. In the present study we study the twisted curves of constant ratio in E^3 and…
We study the geometry of equiclassical strata of the discriminant in the space of plane curves of a given degree, which are families of curves of given degree, genus and class (degree of the dual curve). Our main observation is that the use…
Let $(X,L)$ be a polarized K3 surface of genus $g$ and $C_{en} \subset X$ be the curve of singular points of nodal elliptic curves in $|L|$. When $(X,L)$ is generic of genus two, Huybrechts observed that the curve $C_{en}$ is a constant…
