Totally umbilic surfaces in homogeneous 3-manifolds
Abstract
We discuss existence and classification of totally umbilic surfaces in the model geometries of Thurston and the Berger spheres. We classify such surfaces in H2 × R, S2 × R and the Sol group. We prove nonexistence in the Berger spheres and in the remaining model geometries other than the space forms.
