Bjorling Problem for Timelike Surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski Space
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a new approach to the study of timelike minimal surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space through a split-complex representation formula for this kind of surface. As applications, we solve the Björling problem for timelike surfaces and obtain interesting examples and related results. Using the Björling representation, we also obtain characterizations of minimal timelike surfaces of revolution as well as of minimal ruled timelike surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowsi space. MSC 53A10

Translation Surfaces of the Third Fundamental Form in Lorentz-Minkowski Space
In this paper we study translation surfaces with the non-degenerate third fundamental form in Lorentz- Minkowski space $mathbb{L}^{3}$. As a result, we classify translation surfaces satisfying an equation in terms of the position vector field and the Laplace operator with respect to the third fundamental form $III$ on the surface.
متن کاملWeierstrass Representation for Timelike Minimal Surfaces in Minkowski 3-space
Using techniques of integrable systems, we study a Weierstraß representation formula for timelike surfaces with prescribed mean curvature in Minkowski 3-space. It is shown that timelike minimal surfaces are obtained by integrating a pair of Lorentz holomorphic and Lorentz antiholomorphic null curves in Minkowski 3-space. The relationship between timelike minimal surfaces and bosonic Nambu-Goto ...
متن کاملTimelike Surfaces of Constant Mean Curvature ±1 in Anti-de Sitter 3-space H 3 1 (−1)
It is shown that timelike surfaces of constant mean curvature ±1 in anti-de Sitter 3-space H 1 (−1) can be constructed from a pair of Lorentz holomorphic and Lorentz antiholomorphic null curves in PSL2R via Bryant type representation formulae. These Bryant type representation formulae are used to investigate an explicit one-to-one correspondence, the so-called Lawson-Guichard correspondence, be...
متن کاملA Generalized Clairaut’s Theorem in Minkowski Space
In Euclidean space, the geodesics on a surface of revolution can be characterized by means of Clairaut’s theorem, which essentially says that the geodesics are curves of fixed angular momentum. A similar result is known for three dimensional Minkowski space for timelike geodesics on surfaces of revolution about the time axis. Here, we extend this result to consider generalizations of surfaces o...

In this paper we consider a free boundary problem in the 3-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space L 3 which deals spacelike surfaces whose mean curvature is a linear function of the time coordinate and the boundary moves in a given support plane. We study spacelike surfaces that project one-to-one into a strip of the support and that locally are critical points of a certain energy functional invol...
