Abstract |
|
A helicoidal surface in R3 is a natural generalization of a surface of revolution. We give a simple description via the theory of harmonic maps of the Gauss maps and Gaussian images of complete helicoidal surfaces of constant mean curvature in R3. Do Carmo had conjectured that the Gaussian image of such a surface contained an equator. This is true for the complete surfaces of revolution of constant mean curvatures in R3 and we affirm this for helicoids of constant mean curvature. |
