Abstract

We give a generalized Weierstrass formula for a Lorentz surface conformally immersed in the four-dimensional space R2,2\mathbb{R}^{2,2} using spinors and Lorentz numbers. We also study the immersions of a Lorentzian surface in {\bf the} Anti-de Sitter space (a pseudo-sphere in R2,2\mathbb{R}^{2,2}): we give a new spinor representation formula and deduce the conformal description of a flat Lorentzian surface in that space.
