This picture shows the “croissant” surface. A solid line separates two regions with opposite signs of the Gauss curvature. Each of these regions has the topology of a 2D ball. The Gauss curvature is negative in the upper ball-region.Reuse & Permissions
Figure 2
The surface shown at this picture is formed by straight lines passing through a point . Its Gauss curvature vanishes. The surface has a cone singularity at with a negative angle deficit.Reuse & Permissions
By gluing these two figures along their edges one obtains a 2D surface without angle deficits and isometric to the surface of a rotating black hole (.)Reuse & Permissions
