Minimal translation surfaces in hyperbolic space

Differential Geometry 2009-02-25 v1

Abstract

In the half-space model of hyperbolic space, that is, \r^3_{+}=\{(x,y,z)\in\r^3;z>0\} with the hyperbolic metric, a translation surface is a surface that writes as z=f(x)+g(y)z=f(x)+g(y) or y=f(x)+g(z)y=f(x)+g(z), where ff and gg are smooth functions. We prove that the only minimal translation surfaces (zero mean curvature in all points) are totally geodesic planes.
