These formulae are used to investigate an explicit one-to-one correspondence, the so-called Lawson correspondence, between timelike surfaces of constant mean curvature 1 in anti-de Sitter 3-space and timelike minimal surfaces in Minkowski 3-space. The hyperbolic Gauss map of timelike surfaces in anti-de Sitter 3-space, which is a close analogue of the classical Gauss map is considered. It is discussed that the hyperbolic Gauss map plays an important role in the study of timelike surfaces of constant mean curvature 1 in anti-de Sitter 3-space. In particular, the relationship between the Lorentz holomorphicity of the hyperbolic Gauss map and timelike surfaces of constant mean curvature 1 in anti-de Sitter 3-space is studied.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-07-10T17:15:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53A10", "53C42", "53C50" ], "keywords": [ "constant mean curvature", "anti-de sitter", "timelike surfaces", "bryant type representation formulae", "hyperbolic gauss map plays" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 47, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......7104L" } } }
