L_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 of Minimal Surfaces in the Heisenberg Group
We study the Gauss map of minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg group Nil3 endowed with a left-invariant Riemannian metric. We prove that the Gauss map of a nowhere vertical minimal surface is harmonic into the hyperbolic plane H. Conversely, any nowhere antiholomorphic harmonic map into H is the Gauss map of a nowhere vertical minimal surface. Finally, we study the image of the Gauss map of compl...
متن کاملGauss map computation for free-form surfaces
The Gauss map of a smooth doubly{curved surface characterizes the range of variation of the surface normal as an area on the unit sphere. An algorithm to approximate the Gauss map boundary to any desired accuracy is presented, in the context of a tensor{product polynomial surface patch, r(u;v) for (u; v) 2 0; 1 ] 0; 1 ]. Boundary segments of the Gauss map correspond to variations of the normal ...
متن کاملThe Gauss Map of Minimal Surfaces in R
In this paper, we prove effective estimates for the number of exceptional values and the totally ramified value number for the Gauss map of pseudo-algebraic minimal surfaces in Euclidean four-space and give a kind of unicity theorem.
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...
