Lorentzian isothermic surfaces and Bonnet pairs

M. A. Magid (2004)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Lorentzian surfaces in Lorentz three-space are studied using an indefinite version of the quaternions. A classification theorem for Bonnet pairs in Lorentz three-space is obtained.

Minimal surfaces in pseudohermitian geometry

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We consider surfaces immersed in three-dimensional pseudohermitian manifolds. We define the notion of (p-)mean curvature and of the associated (p-)minimal surfaces, extending some concepts previously given for the (flat) Heisenberg group. We interpret the p-mean curvature not only as the tangential sublaplacian of a defining function, but also as the curvature of a characteristic curve, and as a quantity in terms of calibration geometry. As a differential equation, the p-minimal surface equation...
