The Gauss Map and 2+1 Gravity
We prove that the Gauss map of a surface of constant mean curvature embedded in Minkowski space is harmonic. This fact will then be used to study 2+1 gravity for surfaces of genus higher than one. By considering the energy of the Gauss map, a canonical transform between the ADM reduced variables and holonomy variables can be constructed. This allows one to solve (in principle) for the evolution...
متن کاملL_1 operator and Gauss map of quadric surfaces
The quadrics are all surfaces that can be expressed as a second degree polynomialin x, y and z. We study the Gauss map G of quadric surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space R^3 with respect to the so called L_1 operator ( Cheng-Yau operator □) acting on the smooth functions defined on the surfaces. For any smooth functions f defined on the surfaces, L_f=tr(P_1o hessf), where P_1 is t...
متن کاملThe Gauss Map for Surfaces : Part 2 . the Euclidean Case
We study smooth maps t: M -> Ci of a Riemann surface M into the Grassmannian Gi of oriented 2-planes in E2 ' ' and determine necessary and sufficient conditons on t in order that it be the Gauss map of a conformai immersion X: M -» E2 + '. We sometimes view / as an oriented riemannian vector bundle; it is a subbundle of Ej/'. the trivial bundle over M with fibre E2 + l. The necessary and suffic...
متن کاملThe Gauss Map for Surfaces: Part 1. the Affine Case
Let M be a connected oriented surface and let G'2 be the Grassmannian of oriented 2-planes in Euclidean (2 + c)-space. E2 + l. Smooth maps t: M -» (7f are studied to determine whether or not they are Gauss maps. Both local and global results are obtained. If í is a Gauss map of an immersion X: M -» E2 + 1, we study the extent to which / uniquely determines X under certain circumstances. Let X: ...
متن کاملA Noncommutative Gauss Map
The aim of this paper is to transfer the Gauss map, which is a Bernoulli shift for continued fractions, to the noncommutative setting. We feel that a natural place for such a map to act is on the AF algebra A considered separately by F. Boca and D. Mundici. The center of A is isomorphic to C[0, 1], so we first consider the action of the Gauss map on C[0, 1] and then extend the map to A and show...
