The Bj\"orling problem and its solution is a well known result for minimal surfaces in Euclidean three-space. The minimal surface equation is similar to the Born-Infeld equation, which is naturally studied in physics. In this…

We find a spinorial representation of a Riemannian or Lorentzian surface in a Lorentzian homogeneous space of dimension $3.$ We in particular obtain a representation theorem for surfaces in the $\mathbb{L}(\kappa,\tau)$ spaces. We then…
Timelike minimal surfaces in the three-dimensional Lorentzian Heisenberg group are shown to be constructed from Lorentzian harmonic maps into the de-Sitter two-sphere, and they naturally admit singular points. In particular, we provide…
