2-D Analgoue of Pseudosphere

98 Views Asked by At

I was reading about the pseudosphere here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Pseudosphere.html

I was curious if anyone knew what the 2-D analogue of the pseudosphere is?

Thanks!

Mathematically the pseudosphere is a 2D surface of constant negative Gaussian curvature. It only looks 3D because of the way it is immersed in 3-space.

There is no concept equivalent to negative curvature for 1D, so the nearest analogy is the ordinary 1-sphere of constant curvature, or circle.
