More than 130 years ago, Jean-Gaston Darboux remarked that surfaces of constant extrinsic curvature seem to play a much more prominent role in mathematical physics than surfaces of constant intrinsic (Gaussian) curvature. At least in the AdS/CFT correspondence, this observation seems to hold true to this day, as evidenced e.g. by the success of the Ryu-Takayanagi formula. Here, motivated by recent studies of so called holographic complexity measures and their connection with the gravitational action, I will comment on a possible role that constant intrinsic curvature surfaces might play in the holographic dictionary. I will also show how such surfaces can be constructed particularly easily in an AdS3 background.
