Surfaces in a strict Walker 3-manifold that contain non-null curve with zero torsion

Abstract: Given a non-null curve $\gamma$ in a strict Walker 3-manifold, first we show that (locally) $\gamma$ lies in a flat cylinder with a null axis. Secondly, we construct an example of such a curve $\gamma$ and such a cylinder $S$ that contains $\gamma$ . In particular, the hypothesis that $S$ is totally geodesic has some consequence on the geometry of the ambient Walker 3-manifold.
