New Isothermic surfaces

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a method of constructing isothermic surfaces based on Ribaucour transformations. By applying the theory to the cylinder, we obtain a three-parameter family of complete isothermic surfaces that contains n-bubble surfaces inside and outside of the cylinder. In addition, we also obtain one-parameter family of complete isothermic surface with planar ends. Such family of isothermic surfaces do not have constant mean curvature. As aplication we obtain explicit solutions of the Calapso equation.
