Null hypersurfaces as wave fronts in Lorentz-Minkowski space (2203.02864v3)

Abstract: In this paper, we show that ``$L$-complete null hypersurfaces'' (i.e. ruled hypersurfaces foliated by entirety of light-like lines) as wave fronts in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space are canonically induced by hypersurfaces in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. As an application, we show that most of null wave fronts can be realized as restrictions of certain $L$-complete null wave fronts. Moreover, we determine $L$-complete null wave fronts whose singular sets are compact.
