Submanifolds in Lorentz-Minkowski space are investigated from various mathematical viewpoints and are of interest also in relativity theory. We define the hyperbolic surface and the de Sitter surface of a curve in the spacelike hypersurface…
In this paper we parallelly build up the theories of normed linear spaces and of linear spaces with indefinite metric, called also Minkowski spaces for finite dimensions in the literature. In the first part of this paper we collect the…
We give local, explicit representation formulas for n-dimensional spacelike submanifolds which are marginally trapped in the Minkowski space, the de Sitter and anti de Sitter spaces and the Lorentzian products of the sphere and the…
We give a new proof of the generalized Minkowski identities relating the higher degree mean curvatures of orientable closed hypersurfaces immersed in a given constant sectional curvature manifold. Our methods rely on a fundamental…
In earlier papers we changed the concept of the inner product to a more general one, to the so-called Minkowski product. This product changes on the tangent space hence we could investigate a more general structure than a Riemannian…
The extreme anisotropy of hyperbolic materials enables extreme wave confinement, but it is also associated with an inherent misalignment between phase and energy flow, which complicates device modeling and design. Here we introduce a…
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…
I characterize the Lorentzian manifolds properly isometrically embeddable in Minkowski spacetime (i.e. the Lorentzian submanifolds of Minkowski spacetime that are also closed subsets). Moreover, I prove that the Lorentzian manifolds that…
The lightlike geometry of codimension two spacelike submanifolds in Lorentz-Minkowski space has been developed in [Izumiya, S. and Romero Fuster, M. C. Selecta Mathematica (NS), 13 23--55 (2007)] which is a natural Lorentzian analogue of…
In this paper, we introduce isoparametric functions and isoparametric hypersurfaces in conic Finsler spaces. We find that in a conic Minkowski space, besides the conic Minkowski hyperplanes, conic Minkowski hyperspheres and conic Minkowski…
An extended object is considered on the Minkowski background in the form of a space-time bag, which is bounded by a certain surface confining an internal substance. An internal metric is built starting from the symmetry principles rather…
Certain semi-Riemannian metrics may be decomposed into a Riemannian part and an isochronal part. We use this idea and an idea of Kasner to construct a manifold in 6+1 Minkowski space with a well known metric. The full embedding we display…
We study codimension two spacelike submanifolds contained into a general class of null hypersurfaces in generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes, refer to as nullcones. In particular we analyze light cones and lightlike cylinders in…
Time functions with asymptotically hyperbolic geometry play an increasingly important role in many areas of relativity, from computing black-hole perturbations to analyzing wave equations. Despite their significance, many of their…
In this paper, we investigate space-like codimension-two submanifolds of the Lorentz-Minkowski space $\mathbb{E}_1^{n+2}$ constrained to lie on the light-like hypercylinder $\mathcal{LC}^n \times \mathbb{R}$ over the light cone…
We consider convex, spacelike hypersurfaces with boundaries on some hyperboloid (or lightcone) in the Minkowski space. If the hypersurface has constant higher order mean curvature, and the angle between the normal vectors of the…
In this paper, we generalize the defining equation for de Sitter space by replacing the de Sitter radius with a function $f$ satisfying certain conditions; each resulting hypersurface is diffeomorphic to de Sitter space, and has a geometry…
There are considered 4-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian spaces with inner products of signature (3,1) and (2,2). The objects of investigation are space-like and time-like hyperspheres in the respective cases. These hypersurfaces are equipped…
We determine a Simons' type formula for spacelike submanifolds within a broad class of semiRiemannian warped products. This formula extends the Simons' type formulas initially introduced by Nomizu and Smyth in 1969 for constant mean…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a semi-Riemannian manifold of arbitrary signature to be locally isometrically immersed into certain warped products. Then, we describe a way to use the structure equations of such immersions…
