Abstract

Consider the Lorentz-Minkowski 33-space L3\mathbb{L}^3 with the metric dx2+dy2dz2dx^2+dy^2-dz^2 in canonical coordinates (x,y,z)(x,y,z). A surface in L3\mathbb{L}^3 is said to be separable if satisfies an equation of the form f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0 for some smooth functions ff, gg and hh defined in open intervals of the real line. In this article we classify all zero mean curvature surfaces of separable type, providing a method of construction of examples.
