Constant Angle Surfaces in Product Spaces

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We classify all the surfaces in M2(c1)×M2(c2)M^2(c_1)\times M^2(c_2) for which the tangent space TpM2T_pM^2 makes constant angles with Tp(M2(c1)×{p2})T_p(M^2(c_1)\times \{p_2\}) (or equivalently with Tp({p1}×M2(c2))T_p(\{p_1\}\times M^2(c_2)) for every point p=(p1,p2)p=(p_1,p_2) of M2M^2. Here M2(c1)M^2(c_1) and M2(c2)M^2(c_2) are 2-dimensional space forms, not both flat. As a corollary we give a classification of all the totally geodesic surfaces in M2(c1)×M2(c2)M^2(c_1)\times M^2(c_2).
