Abstract

We obtain the Weierstrass-Enneper representation for maximal graphs(whose Gauss map is one-one) in Lorentz-Minkowski space. For this we use the method of Barbishov and Chernikov, which they have used to find the solutions of Born-Infeld equation in hodographic coordinates. We could use their method in our case, because we realized that the maximal surface equation and Born-Infeld equation are related via a wick rotation in the first variable of the parametrising domain.
