Singularities on timelike minimal surfaces in Lorentzian Heisenberg group

Abstract: Timelike minimal surfaces in the three-dimensional Lorentzian Heisenberg group are shown to be constructed from Lorentzian harmonic maps into the de-Sitter two-sphere, and they naturally admit singular points. In particular, we provide criteria for cuspidal edges, swallowtails, and cuspidal cross caps, and present several explicit examples.
