Abstract

We derive a correspondence between (Lorentzian) harmonic maps into the pseudosphere S12S_1^2, with appropriate regularity conditions, and certain connection 1-forms. To these harmonic maps, we associate a representation of type Weierstrass, and we apply it to construct timelike surfaces with constant mean curvature.
