Breather Surface

Parametrization

\( \begin{align} x & {} = -u+\frac{2\left(1-a^2\right)\cosh(au)\sinh(au)}{a\left(\left(1-a^2\right)\cosh^2(au)+a^2\,\sin^2\left(\sqrt{1-a^2}v\right)\right)} \\ \\ y & {} = \frac{2\sqrt{1-a^2}\cosh(au)\left(-\sqrt{1-a^2}\cos(v)\cos\left(\sqrt{1-a^2}v\right)-\sin(v)\sin\left(\sqrt{1-a^2}v\right)\right)}{a\left(\left(1-a^2\right)\cosh^2(au)+a^2\,\sin^2\left(\sqrt{1-a^2}v\right)\right)} \\ \\ z & {} = \frac{2\sqrt{1-a^2}\cosh(au)\left(-\sqrt{1-a^2}\sin(v)\cos\left(\sqrt{1-a^2}v\right)+\cos(v)\sin\left(\sqrt{1-a^2}v\right)\right)}{a\left(\left(1-a^2\right)\cosh^2(au)+a^2\,\sin^2\left(\sqrt{1-a^2}v\right)\right)} \end{align} \)

where 0 < a < 1.
