AbstractIn this paper, we study regular immersed hypersurfaces in Lorentzian space forms with a conformal metric, a conformal second fundamental form, the conformal Blaschke tensor and a conformal form, which are invariants under the conformal transformation group. We classify all the immersed hypersurfaces in Lorentzian space forms with two distinct constant Blaschke eigenvalues and vanishing conformal form.

Lorentzian Space Forms

In this paper we introduce a reference along a null curve in an n-dimensional Lorentzian space with the minimum number of curvatures. That reference generalizes the reference of Bonnor for null curves in Minkowski space–time and it is called the Cartan frame of the curve. The associated curvature functions are called the Cartan curvatures of the curve. We characterize the null helices (that is, null curves with constant Cartan curvatures) in n-dimensional Lorentzian space forms and we obtain a complete classification of them in low dimensions.

Lorentzian Space Forms

We study geodesics in hypersurfaces of a Lorentzian space formM1n+1(c), which are critical curves of theM1n+1(c)-bending energy functional, for variations constrained to lie on the hypersurface. We characterize critical geodesics showing that they live fully immersed in a totally geodesicM13(c)and that they must be of three different types. Finally, we consider the classification of surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space foliated by critical geodesics.

AbstractA Lorentz surface of an indefinite space form is called a parallel surface if its second fundamental form is parallel with respect to the Van der Waerden-Bortolotti connection. Such surfaces are locally invariant under the reflection with respect to the normal space at each point. Parallel surfaces are important in geometry as well as in general relativity since extrinsic invariants of such surfaces do not change from point to point. Recently, parallel Lorentz surfaces in 4D neutral pseudo Euclidean 4-space $$ \mathbb{E}_2^4 $$ and in neutral pseudo 4-sphere S 24 (1) were classified in [14] and in [10], respectively. In this paper, we completely classify parallel Lorentz surfaces in neutral pseudo hyperbolic 4-space H 24 (−1). Our main result states that there are 53 families of parallel Lorentz surfaces in H 24 (−1). Conversely, every parallel Lorentz surface in H 24 (−1) is obtained from the 53 families. As an immediate by-product, we achieve the complete classification of all parallel Lorentz surfaces in 4D neutral indefinite space forms.
