Global existence of Willmore flow with boundary via Li-Yau inequality.

In this paper we study motion of surfaces of revolution under the mean curvature flow. For an open set of initial conditions close to cylindrical surfaces we show that the solution forms a "neck" which pinches in a finite time at a single point. We also obtain a detailed description of the neck pinching process.

We investigate the formation of singularities for surfaces evolving by volume preserving mean curvature flow. For axially symmetric flows - surfaces of revolution - in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with Neumann boundary conditions, we prove that the first developing singularity is of Type I. The result is obtained without any additio…

For Legendre curves, we consider surfaces of revolution of frontals. The surface of revolution of a frontal can be considered as a framed base surface. We give the curvatures and basic invariants for surfaces of revolution by using the curvatures of Legendre curves. Moreover, we give properties of surfaces of revolutio…

The study defines new surfaces with specific cut locus properties and provides conditions for their existence.

We prove here that when all planes transverse and nearly perpendicular to the axis of a surface of revolution intersect it in loops having central symmetry, the surface must be quadric. It follows that the quadrics are the only surfaces of revolution without skewloops. Similar statements hold for hypersurfaces of revol…

In this paper we study geodesic mappings of $n$-dimensional surfaces of revolution. From the general theory of geodesic mappings of equidistant spaces we specialize to surfaces of revolution and apply the obtained formulas to the case of rotational ellipsoids. We prove that such $n$-dimensional ellipsoids admit non tri…

The study finds conditions for certain surfaces to have a specific type of metric.

This paper establishes an interesting connection between the family of CMC surfaces of revolution in $\mathbb E_1^3$ and some specific families of elliptic curves. As a consequence of this connection, we show in the class of spacelike CMC surfaces of revolution in the $\mathbb E_1^3$, only spacelike cylinders and stand…

Fermat constants fail to fully identify Clairaut constants for certain geodesics on a surface of revolution.

We consider surfaces of revolution in the three-dimensional Euclidean space which are of coordinate finite type with respect to the third fundamental form. We show that a surface of revolution satisfying the preceding relation is a catenoid or part of a sphere.

We give an explicit formula for singular surfaces of revolution with prescribed unbounded mean curvature. Using it, we give conditions for singularities of that surfaces. Periodicity of that surface is also discussed.

Finite number of eigenvalues found in cylindrical surface.

We present numerical visualizations of Ricci Flow of surfaces and 3-dimensional manifolds of revolution. Ricci_rot is an educational tool which visualizes surfaces of revolution moving under Ricci flow. That these surfaces tend to remain embedded in R3 is what makes direct visualization possible. The numerical lessons …

New 2-spheres of revolution with simple cut locus structures.

We study the Gauss map $G$ of surfaces of revolution in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space ${\mathbb{E}^3}$ with respect to the so called Cheng-Yau operator $\square$ acting on the functions defined on the surfaces. As a result, we establish the classification theorem that the only surfaces of revolution with Gauss map …

In the previous paper, the structure of the cut locus was determined for a class of surfaces of revolution homeomorphic to a cylinder. In this paper, we prove the structure theorem of the cut locus for a wider class of surfaces of revolution homeomorphic to a cylinder.

The paper proves cylindrical nature of singular minimal ruled surfaces.

Spinor fields on surfaces of revolution conformally immersed into 3-dimensional space are considered in the framework of the spinor representations of surfaces. It is shown that a linear problem (a 2-dimensional Dirac equation) related with a modified Veselov- Novikov hierarchy in the case of the surface of revolution …

We find sharp upper bounds for the multiplicities and the numerical values of all the distinct eigenvalues on a surface of revolution diffeomorphic to the sphere.

In this work, we study spacelike and timelike surfaces of revolution in Minkowski space $\e_{1}^{3}$ that satisfy $aH+bK=c$, where $H$ and $K$ denote the mean curvature and the Gauss curvature of the surface and $a$, $b$ and $c$ are constants. The classification depends on the causal character of the axis of revolution…

We consider the Kepler problem on surfaces of revolution that are homeomorphic to $S^2$ and have constant Gaussian curvature. We show that the system is maximally superintegrable, finding constants of motion that generalize the Runge-Lentz vector. Then, using such first integrals, we determine the class of surfaces tha…

Dedicated to Professor K. Shiohama on the occasion of his seventieth birthday: This article is the third in a series of our investigation on a complete non-compact connected Riemannian manifold $M$. In the first series [arXiv:0901.4010], we showed that all Busemann functions on an $M$ which is not less curved than a vo…

We consider Calderon's inverse problem with partial data in dimensions $n \geq 3$. If the inaccessible part of the boundary satisfies a (conformal) flatness condition in one direction, we show that this problem reduces to the invertibility of a broken geodesic ray transform. In Euclidean space, sets satisfying the flat…

An extrinsic representation of a Ricci flow on a differentiable n-manifold M is a family of submanifolds S(t), each smoothly embedded in R^{n+k}, evolving as a function of time t such that the metrics induced on the submanifolds S(t) by the ambient Euclidean metric yield the Ricci flow on M. When does such a representa…

In this paper, we will show that the limit of the Brown-York mass of a family of convex revolution surfaces in an asymptotically Schwarzschild manifold is the ADM mass.

Study shows generic surfaces avoid complex flow patterns.

We study the behavior of geodesics on a Randers surface of revolution. The main tool is the extension of Clairaut relation from Riemannian case to the Randers case. Moreover, we show that our Randers surface of revolution can be embedded in a Minkowski space as hypersurface.

In this paper we consider the conformal type (parabolicity or non-parabolicity) of complete ends of revolution immersed in simply connected space forms of constant sectional curvature. We show that any complete end of revolution in the $3$-dimensional Euclidean space or in the $3$-dimensional sphere is parabolic. In th…

This study classifies quadric surfaces in 3-sphere as Weingarten surfaces.

Solves curvature prescription on rotational surfaces.

Using the theory of geodesics on surfaces of revolution, we introduce the period function. We use this as our main tool in showing that any two-dimensional orbifold of revolution homeomorphic to S^2 must contain an infinite number of geometrically distinct closed geodesics. Since any such orbifold of revolution can be …

We show that the surface energy introduced by Auckly and Sadun attains the minimum value at the Clifford torus among tori of revolution.

Fix two parallel circles in $\mathbb{R}^3$ centered about a common axis. Among surfaces of revolution immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose boundary is given by these circles, there is one which maximizes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue. If the circles are sufficiently close together, then this surface is unique.

In this paper, by the studying of the Gauss map, Laplacian operator, curvatures of surfaces in $\mathbb{R}_{1}^{3}$ and Bour's theorem, we are going to identify surfaces of revolution with pointwise 1-type Gauss map property in $3-$dimensional Minkowski space.

In this paper, we consider the motion of a particle on a surface of revolution under the influence of a central force field. We prove that there are at most two analytic central potentials for which all the bounded, nonsingular orbits are closed and that there are exactly two on some surfaces with constant Gaussian cur…

To study spacelike surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space $\Bbb R^{4}_1,$ we construct a pair of maps whose values are in the lightcone, called $\mathfrak l_r^{\pm}$-Gauss maps. We can use these maps to study umbilical spacelike surfaces and find parametrizations of spacelike surfaces of revolution of hyperbolic and …
