One of the three standard tori given by the parametric equations x = a(1+cosv)cosu (1) y = a(1+cosv)sinu (2) z = asinv, (3) corresponding to the torus with a=c. It has ...

Let f:M->N be a geodesic mapping. If either M or N has constant curvature, then both surfaces have constant curvature (Ambartzumian 1982, p. 26; Kreyszig 1991).

If a minimal surface is given by the equation z=f(x,y) and f has continuous first and second partial derivatives for all real x and y, then f is a plane.

A parameterization is isothermal if, for zeta=u+iv and phi_k(zeta)=(partialx_k)/(partialu)-i(partialx_k)/(partialv), the identity phi_1^2(zeta)+phi_2^2(zeta)+phi_3^2(zeta)=0 ...

A quartic surface named after its resemblance to the liturgical headdress worn by bishops and given by the equation 4x^2(x^2+y^2+z^2)-y^2(1-y^2-z^2)=0.

A parallel of a surface of revolution is the intersection of the surface with a plane orthogonal to the axis of revolution.

An algebraic surface with affine equation P_d(x_1,x_2)+T_d(x_3)=0, (1) where T_d(x) is a Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind and P_d(x_1,x_2) is a polynomial defined by ...

A quartic surface which can be constructed as follows. Given a circle C and plane E perpendicular to the plane of C, move a second circle K of the same radius as C through ...

A surface which has no edges.

The ding-dong surface is the cubic surface of revolution given by the equation x^2+y^2=(1-z)z^2 (1) (Hauser 2003) that is closely related to the kiss surface. The surface can ...
