Lorentzian surfaces with constant curvatures and transformations in the 3-dimensional Lorentzian space

Joonsang Park

Dongguk University

Abstract

We study Lorentzian surfaces with the constant Gaussian curvatures or the constant mean curvatures in the 3-dimensional Lorentzian space and their transformations. Such surfaces are associated to the Lorentzian Grassmannian systems and some transformations on such surfaces are given by dressing actions on those systems.

Keywords: spacelike surface, timelike surface, Gaussian curvature, mean curvature,(elliptic) sine-Gordon, (hyperbolic) sinh-Gordon, Grassmannian system
