A description of a simple cylindrical worm drive is given here:

There is a globoid description here:

Piotr PoĊ‚owniak and Mariusz Sobolak have one paper in English on:
"Mathematical description of tooth flank surface of
globoidal worm gear with straight axial tooth..."
with complicated mathematics,
and several versions in a foreign language.
Maybe next winter I'll have a look... No time now :-(
