We present a Weierstrass-type representation formula which locally represents every regular two-dimensional lightlike surface in Lorentz-Minkowski 4-Space $\mathbb{M}^4$ by three dual functions $(\rho,f,g)$ and generalizes the representation for regular lightlike surfaces in $\mathbb{M}^3$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the functions $\rho$, $f$, $g$ for the surface to be minimal, ruled or $l$-minimal. For ruled lightlike surfaces, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the representation itself to be ruled. Furthermore, we give a result on totally geodesic half-lightlike surfaces which holds only in $\mathbb{M}^4$.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
