Abstract
Calabi's Bernstein-type theorem asserts that a zero mean curvature entire graph in Lorentz-Minkowski space which admits only space-like points is a space-like plane. Using the fluid mechanical duality between minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space and maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space , we give an improvement of this Bernstein-type theorem. More precisely, we show that a zero mean curvature entire graph in which does not admit time-like points (namely, a graph consists of only space-like and light-like points) is a plane.
