Title: COVERINGS AND INTEGRABILITY OF THE GAUSS--MAINARDI--CODAZZI EQUATIONS

Authors: Joseph KRASIL'SHCHIK, Michal MARVAN

Using covering theory approach (zero-curvature representations with the gauge group SL2), we insert the spectral parameter into the Gauss--Mainardi--Codazzi equations in Tchebycheff and geodesic coordinates. For each choice, four integrable systems are obtained.
