We prove that Delaunay surfaces, except the plane and the catenoid, are the only surfaces in Euclidean space with nonzero constant mean curvature that can be expressed as an implicit equation of type $f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0$, where $f$, $g$ and $h$ are smooth real functions of one variable.
We classify all surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature $K$ in Euclidean $3$-space that can be expressed as an implicit equation of type $f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0$, where $f$, $g$ and $h$ are real functions of one variable. If $K=0$, we prove that the surface is a surface of revolution, a cylindrical surface or a conical surface, obtaining explicit parametrizations of such surfaces. If $K\not=0$, we prove that the surface is a surface of revolution.
We prove that the only surfaces in $3$-dimensional Euclidean space $\R^3$ with constant Gaussian curvature $K$ and constructed by the sum of two space curves are cylindrical surfaces, in particular, $K=0$.
A translation surface of Euclidean space $\r^3$ is the sum of two regular curves $α$ and $β$, called the generating curves. In this paper we classify the minimal translation surfaces of $\r^3$ and we give a method of construction of explicit examples. Besides the plane and the minimal surfaces of Scherk type, it is proved that up to reparameterizations of the generating curves, any minimal translation surface is described as $Ψ(s,t)=α(s)+α(t)$, where $α$ is a curve parameterized by arc length $s$, its curvature $κ$ is a positive solution of the autonomous ODE $(y')^2+y^4+c_3y^2+c_1^2y^{-2}+c_1c_2=0$ and its torsion is $τ(s)=c_1/κ(s)^2$. Here $c_1\not=0$, $c_2$ and $c_3$ are constants such that the cubic equation $-λ^3+c_2λ^2-c_3λ+c_1=0$ has three real roots $λ_1$, $λ_2$ and $λ_3$.
In this paper we deal with the following problem: Find all Riemannian metrics on a manifold that can be realized isometrically as immersed hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space. We study this problem for a wide class of metrics on hypersurfaces arising from Codazzi tensors.
