UNIT 7. THE FUNDAMENTAL EQUATIONS OF HYPERSURFACE THEORY ================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gau frame of a arameterzed hyerurface, formuae for the arta dervatve of the Gau frame vector fed, Chrtoffe ymbo, Gau and Codazz-Manard equaton, fundamenta theorem of hyerurface, "Theorema Egregum", comonent of the curvature tenor, tenor n near agebra, tenor fed over a hyerurface, curvature tenor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now we derve ome formuae for hyerurface. Conder a reguar arameterzed hyerurface r:w----------l R. The arta dervatve r,...,r 1 n defne a ba of the tangent ace of the hyerurface at each ont. If we add to thee vector the norma vector of the hyerurface, we get a ba of R at each ont of the hyerurface. The ytem of the vector fed r,...,r,n aong r caed the Gau frame of the hyerurface. Gau 1 n ------------------------------------------------------- frame ay mar roe n the theory of hyerurface a Frenet frame doe n curve theory. Smarty not comete however, nce a Gau frame much more deendent on the arameterzaton. Neverthee, n the ame way a for Frenet frame, t mortant to now how the dervatve of the frame vector fed wth reect to the arameter can be exreed a a near combnaton of the frame vector. For th we have to determne the coeffcent G, a, b, g n the exreon j j r = S G r + a N, N = S b r + g N. () j j j Let u begn wth the me obervaton that nce N nown to be j tangenta, and N = -L(r ), where L the Wengarten ma, j j u--------------------------------------------------------------------------------o g = 0 for a j j m--------------------------------------------------------------------------------. n -1 and (-b ) the matrx L = B G of the Wengarten ma wth reect to j j,=1 the ba r,...,r. Denote by g and b the entre of the frt and 1 n econd fundamenta form a uua, and denote by g the comonent of the nvere matrx of the matrx of the frt fundamenta form. (Attenton! -1 Entre of G and G are dtnguhed by the oton of ndce.) Then u-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o b = - S b g. j j m-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Tang the dot roduct of the frt equaton of () wth N we gan the 1
equaty <r,n > = a and nce <r,n > = b, u-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o m-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. a = b for a,j. There ony one queton eft: what are the coeffcent G equa to? Let u tae the dot roduct of the frt equaton of () wth r <r,r > = S G <r,r > = S G g, or denotng the dot roduct <r,r > horty by G, G = S G g. The coeffcent G and G are caed the Chrtoffe ymbo of frt and ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- econd tye reectvey. The at equaton how how to exre Chrtoffe ------------------------------------------------------- ymbo of econd tye wth the he of Chrtoffe ymbo of frt tye. It can ao be ued to exre Chrtoffe ymbo of frt tye n term of econdary Chrtoffe ymbo. Indeed, mutyng the equaton wth g, tang um for and ung S g g = d (J Kronecer deta), we get S G g = S S G g g = S G d = G. Now et u try to determne Chrtoffe ymbo of econd tye. Dfferentatng the equaty g = <r,r > wth reect to the -th varabe j and then ermutng the roe of ndce,j, we get the equate g, = <r,r > + <r,r > j j g j, = <r,r > + <r,r > j j g,j = <r,r > + <r,r >. j Sovng th near ytem of equaton for the econdary Chrtoffe ymbo tandng on the rght hand de, we obtan and 1 G = <r,r > = ----- (g + g - g ) 2,j j,, u--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o 1 G = S G g = S ----- (g + g - g ) g. 2,j j,, m--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Oberve that the Chrtoffe ymbo deend ony on the frt fundamenta form of the hyerurface. 2 Now we a the foowng queton. Suoe we are gven 2n mooth functon g, b,j=1,2,...,n on an oen doman W of R. When can we fnd a arameterzed hyerurface r:w----------l R wth fundamenta form G = (g ) and B = (b ). We have ome obvou retrcton on the functon g and b. Frt, g = g, b = b, and nce G the matrx of a otve j j defnte bnear form, the determnant of the corner ubmatrce (g ),j=1 2
mut be otve for = 1,...,n. However, the exame we have how that thee condton are not enough to guarantee the extence of a hyerurface. For exame, f G the dentty matrx everywhere, whe B = f G for ome functon on W, then the hyerurface (f ext) cont of umbc. We now however that f a urface cont of umbc, then the rnca curvature are contant, o athough our choce of B and G atfe a the condton we have ted o far, t doe not correond to a hyerurface une f contant. So there mut be ome further reaton between the comonent of B and G. Our an to fnd ome of thee correaton the foowng. Let u exre r and r a a near combnaton of the Gau frame vector. The coeffcent we get are functon of the entre of the frt and econd fundamenta form. For r = r, the correondng coeffcent n the exreon for thee vector mut be equa and t can be hoed that th way we arrve at further non-trva reaton between G and B. Th wa the hoohy, and now et u get down to wor. r = ( S G r + b N ) = S (G r + G r ) + b N + b N =,,, = S (G r + G (S G r + b N)) + b N - b SS b g r =,, = S (G + S G G - b S b g ) r + (b + S G b )N.,, Comarng the coeffcent of r n r and r, we obtan u----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o G - G + S (G G - G G ) = S (b b - b b ) g,,j j j m----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. whe comaron of the coeffcent of N gve u-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o b - b = S G b - S G b.,,j j m-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. 4 The frt n equaton (we have an equaton for a,j,,), are the 3 Gau equaton for the hyerurface. The econd famy of n equaton are --------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Codazz-Manard equaton. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exerce. Exre the econd order dervatve N and N a a near ---------------------------------------- j combnaton of the Gau frame vector. Comare the correondng coeffcent and rove that ther equaty foow from the Gau and Codazz-Manard equaton. The exerce ont out that a mar try to derve new reaton between G and B doe not ead to reay new reut. Th no wonder, nce the Gau and Codazz-Manard equaton together wth the revouy ted obvou condton on G and B form a comete ytem of neceary and 3
uffcent condton for the extence of a hyerurface wth fundamenta form G and B. n Theorem. (Fundamenta theorem of hyerurface). Let W C R be an oen ----------------------------------- n connected and my connected ubet of R (e.g. an oen ba or cube), and uoe that we are gven two mooth n by n matrx vaued functon G and B on W uch that G = (g ) and B = (b ) agn to every ont a ymmetrc matrx, G gve the matrx of a otve defnte bnear form. In th cae, f the functon G derved from the comonent of G accordng to the above formuae atfy the Gau and Codazz-Manard equaton, then there ext a reguar arameterzed hyerurface r:w----------l R for whch the matrx rereentaton of the frt and econd fundamenta form are G and B reectvey. Furthermore, th hyerurface unque u to rgd moton of the whoe ace. Namey, f r and r are two uch hyerurface, then there 1 2 ext an ometry (=dtance reervng becton) F:R ----------L R for whch r = Fqr. 2 1 Let u denote the exreon tandng on the eft hand de of the Gau equaton by u-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o R := G - G + S (G G - G G ).,,j j m-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Then Gau equaton can be abbrevated wrtng R = S (b b - b b ) g. j Let u muty th equaton by g and tae a um for m S R g = S S (b b - b b ) g g = m j m = S (b b - b b ) d = (b b - b b ). j m m jm u--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o 1 1 mj m m--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. u-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o Introducng the functon R := S R g, we may wrte R = (b b - b b ). mj m jm m-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Let u oberve, that the functon R can be exreed n term of the mj frt fundamenta form G. Coroary. (Theorema Egregum) The Gauan curvature of a reguar --------------------------------------------- 3 arameterzed urface n R can be exreed n term of the frt fundamenta form a foow R 1212 K = ------------------------------------. det G Theorema Egregum one of thoe theorem of Gau he wa very roud of. 4
The urrng fact not the actua form of th formua but the mere extence of a formua that exree the Gauan curvature n term of the frt fundamenta form. The geometrca meanng of the extence of uch a formua that the Gauan curvature doe not change when we bend the urface (athough rnca curvature do change n genera!). Defnton. Let r:w----------l R be a hyerurface. Conder the mang R that -------------------------------------------------- agn four tangenta vector fed X = S X r, Y = S Y r, Z = S Z r, W = S W r a functon accordng to the formua m j R(X,Y;Z,W) = S S S S R X Y Z W. mj m j We ha ca R the curvature tenor of the hyerurface, the functon R -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mj the comonent of the curvature tenor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let u brefy reca ome defnton from near agebra, concernng tenor. Let V be a vector ace (over R). The et V of near functon form a vector ace wth reect to the oeraton ( + )(v) := (v) + (v), ( )(v) := ((v)). 1 2 1 2 The vector ace V of near functon on V caed the dua ace of V. -------------------------------------------------- If V fnte dmenona and e,...,e a ba of V, then we may 1 n 1 n conder the near functon e,...,e e V defned by e (e ) = d. It j j not dffcut to rove that thee near functon form a ba of V caed the dua ba of the ba e,...,e. A a conequence we get that dm V = -------------------------------------------------- 1 n dm V for fnte dmenona vector ace. A tenor of vaency (/order /tye) (,) over V a mutnear functon T : V x...xv x V x...x V ---------------L R defned on the Cartean roduct of coe of V and coe of V. "Mutnear" mean that fxng a but one varabe, we obtan a near (,) functon of the free varabe. Denote by T V the et of tenor of vaency (,). The um of two tenor of order (,) and the caar mute of a tenor are tenor of the ame order, hence the et of tenor of a gven vaency form a vector ace.
