Abstract: |
Let $\Q^3$ be the common conformal compactification space of the Lorentzian space forms $\R^3_1$, $\S^3_1$ and $\H^3_1$. We study the conformal geometry of space-like surfaces in $\Q^3$. It is shown that any conformal CMC-surface in $\Q^3$ must be conformally equivalent to a constant mean curvature surface in $\R^3_1$, $\S^3_1$ or $\H^3_1$. We also show that if $x: M\to\Q^3$ is a space-like Willmore surface whose conformal metric $g$ has constant curvature $K$, then either $K=-1$ and $x$ is conformally equivalent to a minimal surface in $\R^3_1$, or $K=0$ and $x$ is conformally equivalent to the surface
$\H^1(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})\times \H^1(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$ in $\H^3_1$. |
