Complete stationary surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4_1$ with total curvature $-\int K\mathrm{d}M=4π$

Published 31 Oct 2012 in math.DG, math.CV, and math.GT | (1210.8254v1)

Abstract: Applying the general theory about complete spacelike stationary (i.e. zero mean curvature) surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentz space $\mathbb{R}4_1$, we classify those regular algebraic ones with total Gaussian curvature $-\int K\mathrm{d}M=4\pi$. Such surfaces must be oriented and be congruent to either the generalized catenoids or the generalized enneper surfaces. For non-orientable stationary surfaces, we consider the Weierstrass representation on the oriented double covering $\widetilde{M}$ (of genus $g$) and generalize Meeks and Oliveira's M\"obius bands. The total Gaussian curvature are shown to be at least $2\pi(g+3)$ when $\widetilde{M}\to\mathbb{R}4_1$ is algebraic-type. We conjecture that there do not exist non-algebraic examples with $-\int K\mathrm{d}M=4\pi$.
