| Předběžná náplň práce |
| The infinite number of surfaces of constant negative curvature realize, in our Euclidean three-space, portions of the infinite Lobachevsky plane. These surfaces are fascinating for many purely mathematical reasons. For instance, they have to include some form of singularities, as Hilbert theorem proves. On the other hand, among the physical applications, one is particularly interesting. That is the relationship between these surfaces and the sine-Gordon solitons. The student will clarify this link, and present a list of known correspondences that she/he will be able to find in the literature. If possible, she/he will provide a clarification of the role of the above mentioned singularities in the physics of corresponding solitons. |
