Abstract

Let a radius vector of a closed rotational surface $S$ in $\bbfR\sp 3$ and its infinitesimal bending (inf. b.) $St$ of $m$-th order be given by $S:r(z,þeta) =ze3+\rho(z)e (þeta)$, $St:r(z,þeta,t) =r(z,þeta) +\summj=1 tjj z (z,þeta)$, where $z0,1$, $e(þeta)=e1þeta+ e2þeta$, $þeta0,2\pi$. Following S. E. Cohn-Vossen, let $øverset 1z (z,þeta)=1zk (z, þeta)$, $k2$, be a fundamental field of inf. b. of first order and $j\to z (z,þeta)$, $j=1, \dots, m$ be its extensions to fields of inf. b. to the order $j$. It is stated the following.Let $S$ have a regular $1zk$, where $k>A(m,n)= 1m n(m-1) \bigln(2m-1) -2m\bigr n-1$, and $m$ be even. Assume that $z1k$ can be extended to a regular field $m-1\to z$ of inf. b. of $(m-1)$-th order. If $S$ has no regular fundamental fields $1z2k$, $1z4k, \dots, 1zmk$, of inf. b. of first order, then the field $1zk$ can be extended to a regular field $øverset mz$ of inf. b. of $m$-th order; if $S$ has a regular fundamental field $1z2hk$, $1<2hm$, of inf. b. of 1-st order, then the field $1zk$ can be extended to a regular field $m z$ of inf. b. of $m$-th order if and only if a special condition is true.Analogous results are obtained for odd $m$. Some corollaries are derived regarding nonrigidity of $m$-th order of $S$.
