摘要:
对旋转二次曲面的研究是经典欧几里得几何的基石,但将其扩展到三维球面S³的研究尚不充分。本文通过提供严格的分类和特征化,填补了这一重要空白,即在S³中非退化的旋转二次曲面,即球面椭球面、双曲面和抛物面,由旋转的球面圆锥体绕包含其焦点的测地轴或垂直于该轴生成。利用球面角动量作为显著的几何不变量的概念,我们发现这些曲面构成了一类显著的Weingarten曲面,并证明它们由其主曲率之间特定的三次函数关系唯一确定。这一结果不仅为球面旋转二次曲面提供了统一的描述,还突显了深刻的几何普遍性,恰好反映了其欧几里得和洛伦兹度量下的三次Weingarten关系。
英文摘要:
The study of quadric surfaces of revolution is a cornerstone of classical Euclidean geometry, but its extension to the three-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$ has not been sufficiently explored. This article addresses this important gap by providing a rigorous classification and characterization of non-degenerate quadric surfaces of revolution in $\mathbb{S}^3$, namely spherical ellipsoids, hyperboloids and paraboloids, generated by the rotation of spherical conics around a geodesic axis containing their foci or is orthogonal to them. Using the concept of spherical angular momentum as a prominent geometric invariant, we discover that these surfaces constitute a remarkable class of Weingarten surfaces and prove that they are uniquely characterised by a specific cubic functional relation between their principal curvatures. This result not only provides a unified description of spherical quadric surfaces of revolution, but also highlights a profound geometric universality, reflecting exactly the same cubic Weingarten relations observed in their Euclidean and Lorentzian counterparts.
