wreath of

Surfaces associated with an infinitesimal deformation of one of them; discovered by G. Darboux [1]. Darboux surfaces form a "wreath" of 12 surfaces, with radius vectors satisfying the equations

where and are in Peterson correspondence, and are in polar correspondence, while and are poles of a -congruence. A similar "wreath" is formed by pairs of isometric surfaces of an elliptic space.

For the notion of a -congruence cf. Congruence of lines.
