1 Riemannian Geometry Key to Homework # Let σu v sin u cos v sin u sin v cos u < u < π < v < π be a parametrization of the unit sphere S {x y z R 3 x + y + z } Fix an angle < θ < π and consider the parallel in short we just write u θ on the unit sphere αt sin θ cos t sin θ sin t cos θ < t < π i Sketch the curve α ii Calculate the normal curvature of α Solution: ii Method : By the calculation n σ u σ v σ u σ v ±sin u cos v sin u sin v cos u On the other hand α t sin θ sin t sin θ cos t arc-length parameterization is It is not unit-speed its Hence αs sin θ coss/ sin θ sin θ sins/ sin θ α s sin θ coss/ sin θ sins/ sin θ Write αs σus vs we find Hence the restriction of n to αs is us θ vs s sin θ ns ±sin θ coss/ sin θ sin θ sins/ sin θ cos θ By the formula the normal curvature of α is κ n s ns α s ± cos s/ sin θ + sin s/ sin θ ±
2 Method : We can also use Theorem 4 ie 45 to calculate the normal curvature where v α t where α must be a unit-speed curve To do so we need to calculate the second fundmental form e f g By a simple calculation we have e f g sin u On the other hand as we did above after re-parameterized by arc-length parameter we get αs sin θ coss/ sin θ sin θ sins/ sin θ Write αs σus vs we find Thus u s v s / sin θ Hence us θ vs s sin θ κ n s IIα s α s eu s +fu sv s+gv s sin θ sin θ Since the principal normal vector can have two directions we kave κ n s ± Show that the normal curvature of any curve on a sphere of radius r is ±/r Solution: Let M {x y z x + y + z r } Then its unit normal is just its normalized position vector ie n ± x + y + z x y z ± x y z r Let αt be a curve on the sphere M then the restriction of n to αt is nt ± r αt Therefore by the formula the normal curvature of α is κ n nt α t ± r αt α t Since α is on the sphere α α r By differentiate it on both sides we have α α Differentiating it on both sides again yields α α + α α Since α is unit-speed α α Hence α α Therefore κ n ± r αt α t ± r
3 3 Show that if a curve on a surface has zero normal and geodesic curvature everywhere then it is part of a straight line Solution: Since κ κ n + κ g The condition that a curve on a surface has zero normal and geodesic curvature everywhere implies that its curvature is identically zero So by the theorem it is part of a straight line 4 Find the Gauss curvature mean curvature principal curvatures and the corresponding principal directions of the following surfaces a σu v au + v bu v 4uv where a and b are constant b The cylinder: σu v a cos u a sin u v Solution: a σ u a b 4v σ v a b 4u σ uu σ vv σ uv 4 The unit normal is n σ u σ v σ u σ v The first fundamental form is bu + v av u ab 4b u + v + 4a u v + a b / E σ u σ u a +b +6v F σ u σ v a b +6uv G σ v σ v a +b +6u The second fundamental form is e n σ uu f n σ uv The Gauss curvature is the mean curvature is 4ab 4b u + v + 4a u v + a b / g n σ vv EG F 6a u v + 6b u + v + 4a b K eg f EG F 4a b 4b u + v + 4a u v + a b H eg ff + ge EG F aba b + 6uv 4b u + v + 4a u v + a b 3/ To calculate the principal curvatures note that E F F G EG F G F F E 3
