Also we prove that a complete rotational surface with second fundamental form of constant length is either a round sphere, a circular cylinder or, up to a homothety and a rigid motion, a member of that family. In particular, the round sphere and the circular cylinder are the only complete embedded rotational surfaces in $\\mathbb R^3$ with second fundamental form of constant length.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-20T16:25:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53A05", "53C42", "53C40", "14Q10" ], "keywords": [ "second fundamental form", "constant length", "round sphere", "complete non embedded rotational surfaces", "circular cylinder" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
