GENERALIZATION OF HASIMOTO'S TRANSFORMATION
GENERALIZATION OF HASIMOTO'S TRANSFORMATION
In this paper, we generalize the famous Hasimoto's transformation by showing that the dynamics of a closed unidimensional vortex filament embedded in a three-dimensional manifold M of constant curvature, gives rise under Hasimoto's transformation to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We also give a natural interpretation of the function ψ introduced …
