We give a detailed account of the gauge-theoretic approach to Lie applicable surfaces and the resulting transformation theory. In particular, we show that this approach coincides with the classical notion of $\Omega$- and…

We derive a permutability theorem for the Christoffel, Goursat and Darboux transformations of isothermic surfaces. As a consequence we obtain a simple proof of a relation between Darboux pairs of minimal surfaces in Euclidean space, curved…

The theory of surfaces in Euclidean space can be naturally formulated in the more general context of Legendre surfaces into the space of contact elements. We address the question of deformability of Legendre surfaces with respect to the…

Motivated by a number of recent investigations, we define and investigate the various properties of the ruled surfaces depend on three dimensional Lie groups with a bi-variant metric. We give useful results involving the characterizations…

In this paper we consider surfaces with one or two families of spherical curvature lines. We show that every surface with a family of spherical curvature lines can locally be generated by a pair of initial data: a suitable curve of Lie…

A quaternionic calculus for surface pairs in the conformal 4-sphere is elaborated. This calculus is then used to discuss the relation between curved flats in the symmetric space of point pairs and Darboux and Christoffel pairs of isothermic…

In this paper we study maps (curved flats) into symmetric spaces which are tangent at each point to a flat of the symmetric space. Important examples of such maps arise from isometric immersions of space forms into space forms via their…

The main aim of this paper is to investigate Darboux rectifying curves on a smooth surface immersed in the Euclidean space. First, we discuss the component of the position vector of a Darboux rectifying curve on a smooth immersed surface…

We consider developable surfaces along the singular set of a swallowtail which are considered to be flat approximations of the swallowtail. For the study of singularities of such developable surfaces, we introduce the notion of Darboux…

Finding appropriate notions of discrete holomorphic maps and, more generally, conformal immersions of discrete Riemann surfaces into 3-space is an important problem of discrete differential geometry and computer visualization. We propose an…

Let G be a n-dimensional Lie group (n>2) with a bi-invariant Riemannian metric. We prove that if a surface of constant Gaussian curvature in G can be expressed as the product of two curves, then it must be flat. In particular, we can…

n this paper, we consider a method of constructing flat surfaces based on Ribaucour transformations in the sphere 3-space. By applying the theory to the flat torus, we obtain a families of complete flat surfaces in $S^3$ which are…

Let $S$ be a complete flat surface, such as the Euclidean plane. We obtain direct characterizations of the connected components of the space of all curves on $S$ which start and end at given points in given directions, and whose curvatures…

We show how pairs of isothermic surfaces are given by curved flats in a pseudo Riemannian symmetric space and vice versa. Calapso's fourth order partial differential equation is derived and, using a solution of this equation, a M\"obius…

The method of constructing spectral Darboux coordinates on finite dimensional coadjoint orbits in duals of loop algebras is applied to the one pole case, where the orbit is identified with a coadjoint orbit in the dual of a finite…

We discuss channel surfaces in the context of Lie sphere geometry and characterise them as certain $\Omega_{0}$-surfaces. Since $\Omega_{0}$-surfaces possess a rich transformation theory, we study the behaviour of channel surfaces under…

We introduce a Lie algebra associated with a non-orientable surface, which is an analogue for the Goldman Lie algebra of an oriented surface. As an application, we deduce an explicit formula of the Dehn twist along an annulus simple closed…

We present a way of constructing and deforming diffeomorphisms of manifolds endowed with a Lie group action. This is applied to the study of exotic diffeomorphisms and involutions of spheres and to the equivariant homotopy of Lie groups.

In this paper, we determine the topology of the spaces of convex polyhedra inscribed in the unit $2$-sphere and the spaces of strictly Delaunay geodesic triangulations of the unit $2$-sphere. These spaces can be regarded as discretized…

For smooth families of projective algebraic curves, we extend the notion of intersection pairing of metrized line bundles to a pairing on line bundles with flat relative connections. In this setting, we prove the existence of a canonical…
