چکیده
Spacelike Willmore surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentzian space forms, a topic in Lorentzian conformal geometry which parallels the theory of Willmore surfaces in S, are studied in this paper. We define two kinds of transforms for such a surface, which produce the so-called left/right polar surfaces and the adjoint surfaces. These new surfaces are again conformal Willmore surfaces. For them holds interesting duality theorem. As an application spacelike Willmore 2-spheres are classified. Finally we construct a family of homogeneous spacelike Willmore tori.

Willmore spacelike submanifolds in a Lorentzian space form
Let N p (c) be an (n+p)-dimensional connected Lorentzian space form of constant sectional curvature c and φ : M → N p (c) an n-dimensional spacelike submanifold in N p (c). The immersion φ : M → N p (c) is called a Willmore spacelike submanifold in N p (c) if it is a critical submanifold to the Willmore functional W (φ) = ∫

We study connected orientable spacelike hypersurfaces $x:M^{n}rightarrowM_q^{n+1}(c)$, isometrically immersed into the Riemannian or Lorentzian space form of curvature $c=-1,0,1$, and index $q=0,1$, satisfying the condition $~L_kx=Ax+b$,~ where $L_k$ is the $textit{linearized operator}$ of the $(k+1)$-th mean curvature $H_{k+1}$ of the hypersurface for a fixed integer $0leq k
متن کاملPolar transform of Spacelike isothermic surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentzian space forms
The conformal geometry of spacelike surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentzian space forms has been studied by the authors in a previous paper, where the so-called polar transform was introduced. Here it is shown that this transform preserves spacelike conformal isothermic surfaces. We relate this new transform with the known transforms (Darboux transform and spectral transform) of isothermic surface...
متن کاملTwistorial constructions of spacelike surfaces in Lorentzian 4-manifolds
We investigate the twistor space and the Grassmannian fibre bundle of a Lorentzian 4-space with natural almost optical structures and its induced CR-structures. The twistor spaces of the Lorentzian space forms R 4 1, S 4 1 and H 4 1 are explicitly discussed. The given twistor construction is applied to surface theory in Lorentzian 4-spaces. Immersed spacelike surfaces in a Lorentzian 4-space wi...
متن کاملBlaschke ’ s problem for timelike surfaces in pseudo - Riemannian space forms
We show that isothermic surfaces and S-Willmore surfaces are also the solutions to the corresponding Blaschke’s problem for both spacelike and timelike surfaces in pseudoRiemannian space forms. For timelike surfaces both Willmore and isothermic, we obtain a description by minimal surfaces similar to the classical results of Thomsen.
