A surface S⊂R3S \subset \mathbb {R}^{3} is called triply ruled if at every p∈Sp \in S we can find three open line segments L1,L2,L3L_1, L_2, L_3 lying in SS such that L1∩L2∩L3={p}L_1 \cap L_2 \cap L_3 = \{ p\}. Determine all triply ruled surfaces.

Consider the torus-of-revolution TT obtained by rotating the circle (x−a)2+z2=r2(x-a)^2+z^2=r^2 around the zz-axis:

T={(x,y,z):(x2+y2+z2+a2−r2)2−4a2(x2+y2)=0}. T = \{ (x,y,z) : (x^2+y^2+z^2+a^2-r^2)^2 - 4a^2(x^2+y^2) = 0\} .

Parameterize this torus, compute its Gauss curvature function KK, and verify that ∫TK dA=0\int_T K \, dA = 0 by explicit calculation.

Let α:(0,1)→R3\alpha : (0,1) \to \mathbb {R}^{3} be any regular arc (that is, α\alpha is differentiable and α′\alpha ' is nowhere zero). Let T(u),N(u)T(u), N(u) and B(u)B(u) be the unit tangent, normal and binormal vectors to α\alpha at α(u)\alpha (u). Consider the normal tube of radius ε\varepsilon around α\alpha, that is, the surface given parametrically by ϕ(u,v)=α(u)+εcos⁡(v)N(u)+εsin⁡(v)B(u)\phi (u,v) = \alpha (u) + \varepsilon \cos (v) N(u) + \varepsilon \sin (v) B(u).

(a)

For what values of ε\varepsilon is this an immersion?

(b)

Assuming that α\alpha itself has finite length, find the surface area of the normal tube of radius ε\varepsilon around α\alpha.

Let (f(v)cos⁡(u),f(v)sin⁡(u),g(v))(f(v)\cos (u), f(v)\sin (u), g(v)) be a parametrization of a surface of revolution S⊂R3S \subset \mathbb {R}^{3} where (u,v)∈(0,2π)×(a,b)(u,v) \in (0,2\pi )\times (a,b). If SS is given the induced metric from R3\mathbb {R}^{3}, prove that the following map from SS to R2\mathbb {R}^{2} is locally conformal where R2\mathbb {R}^{2} is given the standard Euclidean metric:

(u,v)↦(u,∫(f′(v))2+(g′(v))2f(v) dv). (u,v) \mapsto \left(u, \int \frac{\sqrt{(f'(v))^2+(g'(v))^2}}{f(v)} \, dv\right).
