Invariants of Surface Indicatrix in a Special Linear Transformation
Abstract
The linear transformation of the plane is considered, whose matrix belongs to the Heisenberg group. The transformation matrix is neither symmetric nor orthogonal. But the determinant is one. The class of the second-order curves is studied, which is obtained from each other by the transformation under consideration. The invariant values of curves of this class are proved. In particular, the conservation of the product of semi-axes of curves in this class is proved, as well as the equality of the areas for the ellipses of the class under consideration. The obtained invariants of the second order curves are applied to curves of the second order, which is the indicatrix of the surface. Conclusion: a theorem is obtained which proves the invariance of the total curvature of a surface in a Euclidean space of the class under consideration is a transformation, which is a deformation.
