Bour's theorem and helicoidal surfaces with constant mean curvature in the Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu spaces

In this paper we generalize a classical result of Bour concerning helicoidal surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space R^3 to the case of helicoidal surfaces in the Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu (BCV) spaces, i.e. in the Riemannian 3-manifolds whose metrics have groups of isometries of dimension $4$ or $6$, except the hyperbolic one. In particular, we prove that in a BCV-space there exists a two-parameter family of helicoidal surfaces isometric to a given helicoidal surface; then, by making use of this two-parameter representation, we characterize helicoidal surfaces which have constant mean curvature, including the minimal ones.

Loxodromes on invariant surface in three-manifolds

In this paper, we prove important results concerning the loxodromes on an invariant surface in a three-dimensional Riemannian manifold, some of which generalize classical results about loxodromes on rotational surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. In particular, we show how to parametrize a loxodrome on an invariant surface of $\mathbb{H}^2\times \mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{H}_3$ and we exhibit the loxodromes of some remarkable minimal invariant surfaces of these spaces. In addition, we give an explicit description of the loxodromes on an invariant surface with constant Gauss curvature.
