Rafael López
- Vol. 7, Iss: 1, pp 44-107
TLDR
In this article, the authors review part of the classical theory of curves and surfaces in 3D Lorentz-Minkowski space and focus in spacelike surfaces with constant mean curvature pointing the differences and similarities with the Euclidean space.
Abstract
We review part of the classical theory of curves and surfaces in 3-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space. We focus in spacelike surfaces with constant mean curvature pointing the differences and similarities with the Euclidean space.

Translation and homothetical surfaces in euclidean space with constant curvature

TL;DR: This work considers the problem to determine all surfaces in Euclidean space constructed by the sum of two curves or that are graphs of the product of two functions with constant Gauss curvature that are non degenerate surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space.

Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review part of the classical theory of curves and surfaces in $3$-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space and focus in spacelike surfaces with constant mean curvature pointing the differences and similarities with the Euclidean space.

Moving frames and the characterization of curves that lie on a surface

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply these ideas to surfaces that are implicitly defined by a smooth function, by reinterpreting the problem in the context of the Hessian of F, which is not always positive definite.

Geometric Formulation and Multi‐dark Soliton Solution to the Defocusing Complex Short Pulse Equation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the defocusing CSP equation from the single component extended Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy by the reduction method.

On (contra)pedals and (anti)orthotomics of frontals in de Sitter 2‐space

TL;DR: In this article , the de Sitter Legendrian Frenet frames were used to provide parametric representations of (contra)pedal curves of spacelike and timelike frontals in the deSitter 2-space and to investigate the geometric and singularity properties of these (contraspedal) curves.

Differential geometry of curves and surfaces

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-geometry of Surfaces: Isometrics Conformal Maps, which describes how the model derived from the Gauss Map changed over time to reflect the role of curvature in the model construction.

Equilibrium Capillary Surfaces

Robert Finn
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method of Gauss characterisation of the Energies of a narrow tube, and apply it to the problem of estimating the diameter of a small tube.

Differential Geometry: Curves - Surfaces - Manifolds

TL;DR: The local theory of surfaces and Riemannian geometry of surfaces were studied in this article, where the curvature tensor tensor is defined as a tensor of constant curvature.
