Canonical Coordinates and Natural Equations for Minimal Time-like Surfaces in $R^4_2$
Abstract
We apply the complex analysis over the double numbers to study the minimal time-like surfaces in . A minimal time-like surface which is free of degenerate points is said to be of general type. We divide the minimal time-like surfaces of general type into three types and prove that these surfaces admit special geometric (canonical) parameters. Then the geometry of the minimal time-like surfaces of general type is determined by the Gauss curvature and the curvature of the normal connection , satisfying the system of natural equations for these surfaces. We prove the following: If is a solution to the system of natural equations, then there exists exactly one minimal time-like surface of the first type and exactly one minimal time-like surface of the second type with invariants ; if is a solution to the system of natural equations, then there exists exactly one minimal time-like surface of the third type with invariants .
