RIBAUCOUR TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE SURFACES WITH CONSTANT POSITIVE GAUSSIAN CURVATURES IN THE 3-DIMENSIONAL EUCLIDEAN SPACE

We associate the surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature K = 1 with no umbilics to a subclass of the solutions of $O(4,\;1)/O(3){\times}O(1,\;1)-system$. From this correspondence, we can construct new K = 1 surfaces from a known K = 1 surface by using a kind of dressing actions on the solutions of this system.
