Immersions with fractal set of points of zero Gauss-Kronecker curvature

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We construct, for any "good" Cantor set F of Sn-1, an immersion of the sphere Sn with set of points of zero Gauss-Kronecker curvature equal to F x D1, where D1 is the 1-dimensional disk. In particular these examples show that the theorem of Matheus-Oliveira strictly extends two results by do Carmo-Elbert and Barbosa-Fukuoka-Mercuri.
