On intrinsic rotational surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space

Spacelike intrinsic rotational surfaces with constant mean curvature in the Lorentz-Minkowski space $\E_1^3$ have been recently investigated by Brander et al., extending the known Smyth's surfaces in Euclidean space. Assuming that the surface is intrinsic rotational with coordinates $(u,v)$ and conformal factor $ρ(u)^2$, we replace the constancy of the mean curvature with the property that the Weingarten endomorphism $A$ can be expressed as $Φ_{-α(v)}\left(\begin{array}{ll}λ_1(u)&0\\ 0&λ_2(u)\end{array}\right)Φ_{α(v)}$, where $Φ_{α(v)}$ is the (Euclidean or hyperbolic) rotation of angle $α(v)$ at each tangent plane and $λ_i$ are the principal curvatures. Under these conditions, it is proved that the mean curvature is constant and $α$ is a linear function. This result also covers the case that the surface is timelike. If the mean curvature is zero, we determine all spacelike and timelike intrinsic rotational surfaces with rotational angle $α$. This family of surfaces includes the spacelike and timelike Enneper surfaces.

Riemann Zero Mean Curvature Examples in Lorentz-Minkowski Space

Riemann zero mean curvature examples in the Lorentz-Minkowski space are surfaces with zero mean curvature foliated by circles contained in parallel planes. In contrast to the Euclidean case, this family of surfaces presents new and rich features because of the variety of types of circles. In this paper, we give a geometric description of these examples when the circles are contained in spacelike planes and timelike planes.

Classification of zero mean curvature surfaces of separable type in Lorentz-Minkowski space

Consider the Lorentz-Minkowski $3$-space $\mathbb{L}^3$ with the metric $dx^2+dy^2-dz^2$ in canonical coordinates $(x,y,z)$. A surface in $\mathbb{L}^3$ is said to be separable if satisfies an equation of the form $f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0$ for some smooth functions $f$, $g$ and $h$ defined in open intervals of the real line. In this article we classify all zero mean curvature surfaces of separable type, providing a method of construction of examples.

On the duality between rotational minimal surfaces and maximal surfaces

We investigate the duality between minimal surfaces in Euclidean space and maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space in the family of rotational surfaces. We study if the dual surfaces of two congruent rotational minimal (or maximal) surfaces are congruent. We show that in the duality process by means of a one-parameter group of rotations, it appears the family of Bonnet minimal (maximal) surfaces and the Goursat transformations.

Geometric Interpretation of det(C^(3),C^(4),C^(5))=0 in E13

In this paper, we investigate the tangent indicatrix of the curve C with constant curvature. Tangent indicatrix of the curve C is characterized with det(C^(3),C^(4),C^(5))=0 in Minkowski 3-space E13. Moreover, we study null slant helices using the determinant approach and give the following characterization: A curve C is a null slant helix in E13 if and only if det(C^(3),C^(4),C^(5))=0. Then similar results are obtained for non-null curves with the condition k=1.

Generalized Similar Frenet Curves

The paper is devoted to differential geometric invariants determining a Frenet curve in up to a direct similarity These invariants can be presented by the Euclidean curvatures in terms of an arc lengths of the spherical indicatrices. Then, these invariants expressed by focal curvatures of the curve. And then, we give the relationship between curvatures of evolute curve and shape curvatures. Morever, these invariants is given the geometric interpretation.
