A surface of constant negative curvature formed by rotating a tractrix ( $ x = u - \mathop{\rm tanh} u $, $ y = \mathop{\rm sech} u $) around its asymptote ( $ y= 0 $; see Fig.).

Figure: p075840a

The line element in semi-geodesic coordinates has the form:

$$ d s ^ {2} = d u ^ {2} + \cosh ^ {2} \frac{u}{a} \ d v ^ {2} ,\ a = \textrm{ const } $$

(the line $ u = 0 $ is a geodesic); while in isothermal coordinates it has the form:

$$ d s ^ {2} = a ^ {2} \frac{d x ^ {2} + d y ^ {2} }{y ^ {2} } ,\ \ a = \textrm{ const } . $$

Every surface of constant negative curvature can be locally imbedded in the pseudo-sphere. The intrinsic geometry of a pseudo-sphere coincides locally with hyperbolic geometry (see Beltrami interpretation).
