Abstract

We construct new integrable systems to present Weierstrass type representations for spacelike surfaces whose mean curvature vector H\mathbf{H} satisfies the null condition H,H=0\langle \mathbf{H}, \mathbf{H} \rangle=0 in the four dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space L4{\mathbb{L}}^{4}. Our new Weierstrass presentations extend simultaneously classical Weierstrass representations (of the first kind and the second kind) for maximal surfaces in L3{\mathbb{L}}^{3} and minimal surfaces in R3{\mathbb{R}}^{3}. We solve a linear partial differental equation to construct explicit examples of marginally trapped surfaces with nowhere vanishing mean curvature vector.
