Abstract
Surfaces of revolution in the space S-3 of constant curvature K-0 are shown to be associated with the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation. Integrable deformations of surfaces of revolution are given by the KdV and higher KdV equations which preserve the value of K-0. Spindle-sha ped surfaces with finite area are considered. They are related to the bound states for the Schrodinger equation and correspond to the discre te values of K-0.
