Minimal surfaces in a certain 3-dimensional homogeneous spacetime
Published 2015-03-09Version 1
The 2-parameter family of certain homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds which includes Minkowski 3-space, de Sitter 3-space, and Minkowski motion group is considered. Each homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifold in the 2-parameter family has a solvable Lie group structure with left invariant metric. A generalized integral representation formula which is the unificaton of representation formulas for minimal timelike surfaces in those homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds is obtained. The normal Gau{\ss} map of minimal timelike surfaces in those homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds and its harmonicity are discussed.
