Oct 20, 2019 at 5:36 comment added Ian Agol @PyRulez if you look here mathworld.wolfram.com/DinisSurface.html the curvature is -1 if a^2 + b^2 = 1.
Oct 19, 2019 at 15:22 comment added Christopher King @IanAgol it looks like the parameter is bounded by the curvature though. What about a fixed curvature?

Nov 25, 2013 at 23:51 comment added Ian Agol @j.c.: thanks for the correction - I didn't realize this, but now that I read Robert's answer, I should have realized it wasn't a horodisk. I still think the answer works, by varying the parameter (in the limit, it should approach the immersed horodisk of the pseudosphere in the appropriate sense).
Nov 25, 2013 at 15:29 comment added j.c. Robert Bryant shows that Dini's surface is not a horodisk in his answer here mathoverflow.net/questions/149842/… . Instead it is the region between a geodesic and a curve of constant geodesic curvature.

Nov 2, 2009 at 3:32 comment added Ian Agol yes, thanks, I changed it to horodisk.

Nov 2, 2009 at 3:12 comment added j.c. Thank you. I believe you mean that Dini's surface is an isometrically embedded horodisk, though? (The horocycle ought to be the cusp of Dini's surface.) I had been meaning to come back to update this question after following up on some of the references in Borisenko's paper, where I found that the immersions weren't particularly close to what I had in mind.
