The space of complete embedded maximal surfaces with isolated singularities in the 3-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space $\l^3$
Abstract
We show that a complete embedded maximal surface in the 3-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space with a finite number of singularities is, up to a Lorentzian isometry, an entire graph over any spacelike plane asymptotic to a vertical half catenoid or a horizontal plane and with conelike singular points. We study the space of entire maximal graphs over in with conelike singularities and vertical limit normal vector at infinity. We show that is a real analytic manifold of dimension and the coordinates are given by the position of the singular points in and the logarithmic growth at the end. We also introduce the moduli space of {\em marked} graphs with singular points (a mark in a graph is an ordering of its singularities), which is a -sheeted covering of We prove that identifying marked graphs differing by translations, rotations about a vertical axis, homotheties or symmetries about a horizontal plane, the corresponding quotient space is an analytic manifold of dimension
