A zero mean curvature surface in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space is said to be of Riemann-type if it is foliated by circles and at most countably many straight lines in parallel planes. We classify all zero mean curvature surfaces of…

Let $M$ be a Lorentz surface and $F:M\rightarrow N$ a time-like and conformal immersion of $M$ into a 4-dimensional neutral space form $N$ with zero mean curvature vector. We see that the curvature $K$ of the induced metric on $M$ by $F$ is…
