AbstractGauss' Theorema Egregium produces a partial differential equation which relates the Gaussian curvature K to components of the metric tensor and its derivatives. Well-known partial differential equations (PDEs) such as the Schrödinger equation and the sine-Gordon equation can be derived from Gauss' equation for specific choices of K and coördinate systems. In this paper we consider a class of Bäcklund Transformations which corresponds to coördinate transformations on surfaces with a given Gaussian curvature. These Bäcklund Transformations lead to the construction of solutions to certain classes of non-linear second order PDEs of hyperbolic type by identifying these PDEs as the Gauss equation in some coördinate system. The possibility of solving the Cauchy Problem has also been explored for these classes of equations.

We introduce the full expression of the curvature tensor of a real hypersurface M in complex two-plane Grassmannians G2(ℂm+2) from the Gauss equation. We then derive a new formula for the Ricci tensor of M in G2(ℂm+2). Finally, we prove that there does not exist any Hopf real hypersurface in complex two-plane Grassmannians G2(ℂm+2) with parallel Ricci tensor.

Abstract It is shown that the kinematic equations governing steady motions of an ideal fibre-reinforced fluid in a curved stratum may be expressed entirely in terms of the intrinsic Gauss equation, which assumes the form of a partial differential equation of third order, for the surface representing the stratum. In particular, the approach adopted here leads to natural non-classical orthogonal coordinate systems on surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature with one family of coordinate lines representing the fibres. Integrable cases are isolated by requiring that the Gauss equation be compatible with another third-order hyperbolic differential equation. In particular, a variant of the integrable Tzitz\'eica equation is derived which encodes orthogonal coordinate systems on pseudospherical surfaces. This third-order equation is related to the Tzitz\'eica equation by an analogue of the Miura transformation for the (modified) Korteweg-de Vries equation. Finally, the formalism developed in this paper is illustrated by focussing on the simplest ``fluid sheets'' of constant Gaussian curvature, namely the plane, sphere and pseudosphere.

Recently, Borzou et al. (BSSY) generalized the Shiromizu–Maeda–Sasaki (SMS) formulation to [Formula: see text]-bulks. BSSY brane projected equation carries an additional stress tensor, besides SMS correction for Einstein’s theory on the brane. If we change this perspective, by requiring BSSY tensor in the geometrical side, acting as [Formula: see text]-brane generator, it is possible to relate [Formula: see text]-brane/bulk theories, by using curvature dynamical constraint (CDC), a concept that we developed. Since brane and bulk are [Formula: see text], 5D/4D scalar curvatures also play a dynamical role and, thus, a dynamical version to Gauss equation trace, or CDC, must be offered. We will work yet in a specific case to obtain [Formula: see text]-unimodular gravity, formally identical with that obtained by Nojiri et al. (NOO). Therefore, two applications which consider cosmological scenarios in [Formula: see text]-unimodular gravity with dark radiation correction will be offered.
