Abstract:It was proven in [24] that if the Gaussian curvature function along each meridian on a surface of revolution (R 2 , dr 2 + m(r) 2 dθ 2 ) is decreasing, then the cut locus of each point of θ −1 (0) is empty or a subarc of the opposite meridian θ −1 (π). Such a surface is called a von Mangoldt's surface of revolution in [24] (see also [17]). A surface of revolution (R 2 , dr 2 + m(r) 2 dθ 2 ) is called a generalized von Mangoldt surface of revolution if the cut locus of each point of θ −1 (0) is empty or a subar… Show more
