Abstract

The Jorge-Meeks nn-noid (n2n\ge 2) is a complete minimal surface of genus zero with nn catenoidal ends in the Euclidean 3-space R3\boldsymbol{R}^3, which has (2π/n)(2\pi/n)-rotation symmetry with respect to its axis. In this paper, we show that the corresponding maximal surface fnf_n in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space R13\boldsymbol{R}^3_1 has an analytic extension f~n\tilde f_n as a properly embedded zero mean curvature surface. The extension changes type into a time-like (minimal) surface.
