We consider a curve $\alpha=\alpha(s)$ in Minkowski 3-space $E_1^3$ and denote by $\{T,N,B}$ the Frenet frame of $\alpha$. We say that $\alpha$ is a slant helix if there exists a fixed direction $U$ of $E_1^3$ such that the function…

We deal with minimal surfaces in the unit sphere $S^3$, which are one-parameter families of circles. Minimal surfaces in $\R^3$ foliated by circles were first investigated by Riemann, and a hundred years later Lawson constructed examples of…

A stationary rotating surface is a compact surface in Euclidean space whose mean curvature $H$ at each point $x$ satisfies $2H(x)=a r^2+b$, where $r$ is the distance from $x$ to a fixed straight-line $L$, and $a$ and $b$ are constants.…

Let $M$ be a space-like surface immersed in a 4-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian space form $R^4_2(c)$ with constant sectional curvature $c$ and index two. In the first part of this article, we prove that the Gauss curvature $K$, the normal…

In this paper we study constant positive Gauss curvature $K$ surfaces in the 3-sphere $S^3$ with $0<K<1$ as well as constant negative curvature surfaces. We show that the so-called normal Gauss map for a surface in $S^3$ with Gauss…

In this paper we study rotational surfaces in the space $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ whose mean curvature is given as a prescribed function of their angle function. These surfaces generalize, among others, the ones of constant mean…

In this paper, we give some simple conditions under which a Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian submanifold of a K\"ahler-Einstein manifold must have a Euclidean factor or be a fiber bundle over a circle. We also characterize the Hamiltonian…

We obtain the bifurcation of some special curves on generic 1-parameter families of surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space. The curves treated here are the locus of points where the induced pseudo metric is degenerate, the discriminant of the…

We consider a special class of spacelike surfaces in the Minkowski 4-space which are one-parameter systems of meridians of the rotational hypersurface with timelike or spacelike axis. We call these surfaces meridian surfaces of elliptic or…

The techniques used in this paper are based on the exterior calculus of Maurer-Cartan forms, and Weingarten surfaces are used to illustrate the methods that apply to quadratic exterior equations with constant coefficients. Isothermic {\it…

It is well-known that every cuspidal edge in the Euclidean space E^3 cannot have a bounded mean curvature function. On the other hand, in the Lorentz-Minkowski space L^3, zero mean curvature surfaces admit cuspidal edges. One natural…

A marginally trapped surface in the four-dimensional Minkowski space is a spacelike surface whose mean curvature vector is lightlike at each point. We associate a geometrically determined moving frame field to such a surface and using the…

In this paper, we classify the nondegenerate ruled surfaces in the three-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space that are translating solitons for the inverse mean curvature flow. In particular, we prove the existence of non-cylindrical ruled…

We consider surfaces with constant mean curvature in certain warped product manifolds. We show that any such surface is umbilic, provided that the warping factor satisfies certain structure conditions. This theorem can be viewed as a…

We prove several topological properties of linear Weingarten surfaces of Bryant type, as wave fronts in hyperbolic 3-space. For example, we show the orientability of such surfaces, and also co-orientability when they are not flat. Moreover,…

In this paper, we prove the existence of smooth, entire, strictly convex, spacelike, constant $\sigma_k$ curvature hypersurfaces with prescribed lightlike directions in Minkowski space. This is equivalent to prove the existence of smooth,…

We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Minkowski problem in any domain of dependence $D$ in $(2+1)$-dimensional Minkowski space, provided $D$ is contained in the future cone over a point. Namely, it is possible to find a…

We study ruled surfaces in R3 which are obtained from dual spher- ical indicatrix curves of dual Frenet vector fields. We find the Gaussian and mean curvatures of the ruled surfaces and give some results of being Wein- garten surface.
