Constant angle property and canonical principal directions for surfaces in \(\mathbb M^2(c)\times\mathbb R_1\) (Q1949866)

In recent years a lot of progress has been made in the study of surfaces in a product space of a constant curvature surface with a real line. Of course, by changing the sign of the metric on the line component, one obtains an example of a Lorentzian space. In the paper under review, the authors study similar questions for space-like and time-like surfaces in the Lorentzian space obtained in this way. In these spaces, the authors obtain a classification of constant angle surfaces and surfaces with a principal canonical direction. Most of the statements of the theorems and its proofs are quite similar to the Riemannian case.
