According to Wikipedia, the pseudosphere is the surface of revolving a tractrix about its asymptote.
I have the following questions:
- Does the half of the pseudosphere have a different name? I.e., the surface of revolving only the one "branch" of the tractrix about its asymptote.
- The above surface (half of the pseudosphere?), as far as I understand, is a 2-dimensional surface, whose "base" is an 1-sphere. Does this generalise in higher dimensions? That is, does the n-pseudosphere have as its "base" an (n-1)-sphere?
