Helicoidal flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space

Antonio Martínez, João Paulo dos Santos and Keti Tenenblat

Vol. 264 (2013), No. 1, 195–211
Abstract

A flat surface in hyperbolic space 3 is determined by a harmonic function as well as by its meromorphic data. In this paper, helicoidal flat surfaces in 3 are considered. A complete classification of the helicoidal flat fronts is given in terms of their hyperbolic Gauss maps as well as by means of linear harmonic functions. A family of examples that provides the classification of the helicoidal flat fronts is included. Moreover, it is shown that a flat surface in 3 that corresponds to a linear harmonic function is locally congruent to a helicoidal flat front or to a peach front.
