We give a non-existence result for polynomial translation surfaces in E3 with vanishing second Gaussian curvature KII. We classify those translation surfaces for which KII and H are proportional. Finally we obtain that there are no II-minimal translation surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-12-16T22:18:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53A05", "53A10", "49Q05" ], "keywords": [ "second fundamental form", "vanishing second gaussian curvature kii", "polynomial translation surfaces", "ii-minimal translation surfaces" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0812.3166I" } } }
