We know that for the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$, the standard metric on such a sphere can be written as $$g=\frac{4}{(1+x_1^2+x_2^2)^2}(dx_1^2+dx_2^2)$$by sterographica stereographic projection map from the sphere to the complex plane.
I'm curious about the following question:
Given a closed Riemannian surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$, if the metric is globally conformal to $\mathbb{R}^2$, that is, $g=e^{2u}(dx_1^2+dx_2^2)$. Moreover, ifand if we further assume that $u$ is radially symmetric, then does the surface have to be a sphere? Are there any other possible shapes except spheres? Can anyone give some specificespecific examples?
Any comments or ideas would be really appreciated.
