Linearization and explicit solutions of the minimal surface equations.

Alexander G. Reznikov (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We show that the apparatus of support functions, usually used in convex surfaces theory, leads to the linear equation Δh + 2h = 0 describing locally germs of minimal surfaces. Here Δ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the standard two-dimensional sphere. It explains the existence of the sum operator of minimal surfaces, introduced recently. In 4-dimensional space the equation Δ h + 2h = 0 becomes inequality wherever the Gauss curvature of a minimal hypersurface is nonzero.

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.
