Bianchi transformation
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
The transition from one focal surface 
of a Bianchi congruence to the other focal surface 
of the same congruence (cf. Bianchi congruence). If 
is a pseudo-sphere then 
also is a pseudo-sphere. The pseudo-spheres 
which are Bianchi transforms of 
are orthogonal trajectories of the following congruence of circles. They are situated in the tangent plane to 
and have the same radius as 
.
