Supplement on Curved flats in the space of point pairs and Isothermic surfaces: A Quaternionic Calculus
نویسنده
چکیده
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 surfaces. A new viewpoint on relations between surfaces of constant mean curvature in certain space forms is presented — in particular, a new form of Bryant’s Weierstrass type representation for surfaces of constant mean curvature 1 in hyperbolic 3-space is given.

Introduction to Moebius differential geometry
This book aims to introduce the reader to the geometry of surfaces and submanifolds in the conformal n-sphere. Various models for Möbius geometry are presented: the classical projective model, the quaternionic approach, and an approach that uses the Clifford algebra of the space of homogeneous coordinates of the classical model — the use of 2-by-2 matrices in this context is elaborated. For eac...
متن کاملTransformations of discrete isothermic nets and discrete cmc-1 surfaces in hyperbolic space
Using a quaternionic calculus, the Christoffel, Darboux, Goursat, and spectral transformations for discrete isothermic nets are described, with their interrelations. The Darboux and spectral transformations are used to define discrete analogs for cmc-1 surfaces in hyperbolic space and to obtain a discrete version of Bryant's Weierstrass type representation.
متن کاملQuadratic Differentials, Quaternionic Forms, and Surfaces
In this paper we address three problems stemming from the fundamental question: Let M be an oriented surface, how much data do we need to identify an immersion f : M → R or its shape? A generic immersion f is determined up to homothety and translation by its conformal class and its tangent plane map Tf : M → Gr(2, 3) whose value Tf (p) at each point p ∈ M is the plane tangent to the image surfa...
متن کاملQuaternionic Product of Circles and Cycles and Octonionic Product for Pairs of Circles
This paper concerns with a product of circles induced by the quaternionic product considered in a projective manner. Several properties of this composition law are derived and on this way we arrive at some special numbers as roots or powers of unit. We extend this product to cycles as oriented circles and to pairs of circles by using the algebra of octonions. Three applications of the given pro...
متن کاملOn the Quaternionic Curves in the Semi-Euclidean Space E_4_2
In this study, we investigate the semi-real quaternionic curves in the semi-Euclidean space E_4_2. Firstly, we introduce algebraic properties of semi-real quaternions. Then, we give some characterizations of semi-real quaternionic involute-evolute curves in the semi-Euclidean space E42 . Finally, we give an example illustrated with Mathematica Programme.
