An allowable parametrisation is a smooth homeomorphism from an open subset of onto an open subset of , with derivative of rank two. Away from the axis, the rotation orbit has nonzero tangent. A transverse curve supplied by the submanifold theorem, followed by the rotation action, giveswith and .
Rotate and translate along the axis so the specified ruling isHere because the line is not parallel to the axis, and : if , rotating the horizontal tangent line makes the ruled parametrisation singular at its closest point. Rotating givesa one-sheet hyperboloid. Rotation invariance puts this whole surface in . Connectedness and the fact that a complete embedded hyperboloid cannot be a proper subset of another connected embedded surface force equality. Rescaling radial and axial coordinates gives a diffeomorphism with .
