We define and present some proprieties of the M\"obius inversion of surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space. We prove that the M\"obius inversion preserves the lines of principal curvature and the locus of points where the metric is degenerate,…

This paper is devoted to the study of the singularity phenomenon of timelike extremal hypersurfaces in Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}$. We find that there are two explicit lightlike self-similar solutions to a graph representation of…
The Jorge-Meeks $n$-noid ($n\ge 2$) is a complete minimal surface of genus zero with $n$ catenoidal ends in the Euclidean 3-space $\boldsymbol{R}^3$, which has $(2\pi/n)$-rotation symmetry with respect to its axis. In this paper, we show…
Consider the Lorentz-Minkowski $3$-space $\mathbb{L}^3$ with the metric $dx^2+dy^2-dz^2$ in canonical coordinates $(x,y,z)$. A surface in $\mathbb{L}^3$ is said to be separable if satisfies an equation of the form $f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0$ for…
We address the problem of second order conformal deformation of spacelike surfaces in compactified Minkowski 4-space. We explain the construction of the exterior differential system of conformal deformations and discuss its general and…

A general integral inequality is established for compact spacelike submanifolds of codimension two in the Lorentz-Minkowski spacetime under the assumption that the mean curvature vector field is parallel. This inequality is then used to…
We explore the maximality of the Hilbert square of maximal real surfaces, and find that in many cases the Hilbert square is maximal if and only if the surface has connected real locus. In particular, the Hilbert square of no maximal…
