We prove a general fusion theorem for complete orientable minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite total curvature. As a consequence, complete orientable minimal surfaces of weak finite total curvature with exotic geometry are…

For a regular curve on a spacelike surface in Lorentz-Minkowski $3$-space, we have a moving frame along the curve which is called a Lorentzian Darboux frame. We introduce five special vector fields along the curve associated to the…

Given a constant vector field $Z$ in Minkowski space, a timelike surface is said to have a canonical null direction with respect to $Z$ if the projection of $Z$ on the tangent space of the surface gives a lightlike vector field. In this…

In this study, we define some new types of non-null ruled surfaces called slant ruled surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space E_1^3. We introduce some characterizations for a non-null ruled surface to be a slant ruled surface in E_1^3. Moreover,…

In a previous paper we classified complete stationary surfaces (i.e. spacelike surfaces with zero mean curvature) in 4-dimensional Lorentz space $\mathbb{R}^4_1$ which are algebraic and with total Gaussian curvature $-\int…

We investigate the duality between minimal surfaces in Euclidean space and maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space in the family of rotational surfaces. We study if the dual surfaces of two congruent rotational minimal (or maximal)…

The 2-parameter family of certain homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds which includes Minkowski 3-space, de Sitter 3-space, and Minkowski motion group is considered. Each homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifold in the 2-parameter family has a…

This paper develops new tools for understanding surfaces with more than one end (and usually, of infinite topology) which properly minimally embed into Euclidean three-space. On such a surface, the set of ends forms a compact Hausdorff…

We prove four results towards a description, in terms of the null support function, of the set of isometric embeddings of the hyperbolic plane into Minkowski 3-space. We show that for sufficiently tame null support function, the…

We use minimal (or CMC) surfaces to describe 3-dimensional hyperbolic, anti-de Sitter, de Sitter or Minkowski manifolds. We consider whether these manifolds admit ``nice'' foliations and explicit metrics, and whether the space of these…
