Time-like surfaces with zero mean curvature vector in 4-dimensional neutral space forms
Abstract
Let be a Lorentz surface and a time-like and conformal immersion of into a 4-dimensional neutral space form with zero mean curvature vector. We see that the curvature of the induced metric on by is identically equal to the constant sectional curvature of if and only if the covariant derivatives of both of the time-like twistor lifts are zero or light-like. If , then the normal connection of is flat, while the converse is not necessarily true. We see that a holomorphic paracomplex quartic differential on defined by is zero or null if and only if the covariant derivative of at least one of the time-like twistor lifts is zero or light-like. In addition, we see that is identically equal to if and only if not only is flat but also is zero or null.
