On the uniqueness of complete biconservative surfaces in $3$-dimensional space forms

19 Aug 2020 · Nistor Simona, Oniciuc Cezar ·

Biconservative surfaces are surfaces with divergence-free stress-bienergy tensor. Simply connected, complete, non-$CMC$ biconservative surfaces in $3$-dimensional space forms were constructed working in extrinsic and intrinsic ways. Then, one raises the question of the uniqueness of such surfaces. In this paper we give a positive answer to this question.
