We consider surfaces with constant mean curvature in certain warped product manifolds. We show that any such surface is umbilic, provided that the warping factor satisfies certain structure conditions. This theorem can be viewed as a…

We investigate the geometric characteristics of constant gaussian curvature surfaces obtained from solutions of the $G(m,n)$ sigma model. Most of these solutions are related to the Veronese sequence. We show that we can distinguish surfaces…

In this paper, we study third order nonlinear partial differential equations which describe surfaces of constant curvature. From the flatness of connection 1-forms, we present a classification of equations with the type $u_t - u_{xxt} =…

A spacelike surface in the Minkowski 3-space is called a constant slope surface if its position vector makes a constant angle with the normal at each point on the surface. These surfaces completely classified in [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 385…

We develop a global theory for complete hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ whose mean curvature is given as a prescribed function of its Gauss map. This theory extends the usual one of constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in…

In this paper, we introduce isophote curves on surfaces in Galilean 3-space. Apart from the general concept of isophotes, we split our studies into two cases to get the axis d of isophote curves lying on a surface such that d is an…

We study surfaces in $\R^4$ whose tangent spaces have constant principal angles with respect to a plane. Using a PDE we prove the existence of surfaces with arbitrary constant principal angles. The existence of such surfaces turns out to be…

In Euclidean $3$-space, it is well known that the Sine-Gordon equation was considered in the nineteenth century in the course of investigations of surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature $K=-1$. Such a surface can be constructed from a…

In classical surface theory there are but few known examples of surfaces admitting nontrivial isometric deformations and fewer still non-simply-connected ones. We consider the isometric deformability question for an immersion x: M \to R^3…

For each $k\geq2$, we construct two families of surfaces with constant mean curvature $H$ for $H\in[0,1/2]$ in $\Sigma(\kappa)\times\R$ where $\kappa+4H^2\leq0$. The surfaces are invariant under $2\pi/k$-rotations about a vertical fiber of…

In this paper, we study the rotational surfaces in the isotropic 3-space I^3. satisfying Weingarten conditions in terms of the relative curvature K (analogue of the Gaussian curvature) and the isotropic mean curvature H. In particular, we…

Spacelike surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space L^3 can be endowed with two different Riemannian metrics, the metric inherited from L^3 and the one induced by the Euclidean metric of R^3. It is well known that the only surfaces with zero…

On any timelike surface with zero mean curvature in the four-dimensional Minkowski space we introduce special geometric (canonical) parameters and prove that the Gauss curvature and the normal curvature of the surface satisfy a system of…

In this paper, we study a natural discretization of the smooth Gaussian curvature on surfaces, which is defined as the quotient of the angle defect and the area of a geodesic disk at a vertex of a polyhedral surface. It is proved that each…

In this paper, we investigate the geometric properties associated with the $\mathfrak{g}$-stability of surfaces with boundary whose null expansion satisfies $\Theta^{+} = h \geq 0$. First, we show that a $\mathfrak{g}$-stable hypersurface…

In this paper, we show that the total area of two distinct surfaces with Gaussian curvature equal to 1, which are also conformal to the Euclidean unit disk with the same conformal factor on the boundary, must be at least 4{\pi}. In other…

Given a $C^1$ function $\mathcal{H}$ defined in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$, an $\mathcal{H}$-surface $M$ is a surface in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose mean curvature $H_M$ satisfies $H_M(p)=\mathcal{H}(N_p)$, $p\in M$, where…

We study hypersurfaces in the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{n+1}_s$, which write as a warped product of a $1$-dimensional base with an $(n-1)$-manifold of constant sectional curvature. We show that either they have constant sectional…

In this paper we classify Weingarten surfaces integrable in the sense of soliton theory. The criterion is that the associated Gauss equation possesses an sl(2)-valued zero curvature representation with a nonremovable parameter. Under…
