ΘΚΠ the world > relative properties > number > geometry > surface > [noun] > generated by rotation or twisting pseudosphere1884 Möbius surface1900 Möbius strip1904 Möbius band1932 Klein bottle1941 1884 A. Cayley in Proc. Royal Soc. 37 82 I consider the hyperbolic or Lobatschewskian geometry:..the imaginary spherical surface x2 + y2 + z2 = −1..may be bent (without extension or contraction) into the real surface considered by Beltrami, and which I will call the Pseudosphere. 1909 L. P. Eisenhart Treat. Differential Geom. Curves & Surfaces viii. 274 The surface of revolution of a tractrix about its asymptote is called the pseudosphere, or the pseudospherical surface of the parabolic type. 1965 J. D. North Measure of Universe iv. 60 In 1868 E. Beltrami..showed that Lobachevsky's plane geometry holds in Euclidean space on certain surfaces of constant negative curvature (the pseudospheres) and that these could be conformally represented on a plane. 1989 W. Gellert et al. VNR Conc. Encycl. Math. (ed. 2) viii. 201 The pseudosphere serves as a model for non-Euclidean hyperbolic geometry, just as a sphere does for non-Euclidean elliptic geometry.
