The author considers a similar type of problem as he already did in [Kyushu J. Math. 57, 159--164 (2003; Zbl 1050.53052)]. More explicitly, the author gives two specific classes of two-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds that may be realized as Lorentzian stationary surfaces (i.e., the mean curvature vanishes identically) in \(\text{ N}_\nu^n(c)\) where \(\text{ N}_\nu^n(c)\) denotes the \(n\)-dimensional simply-connected pseudo-Riemannian space form of constant curvature \(c\) and index \(\nu.\) To obtain the classes, the author proves that for every positive integer \(m,\) there exists an isometric stationary immersion of \(\text{ N}_{1}^{2}(-2/m(m+1))\) into \(\text{ N}_{m}^{2m}(-1).\) Moreover, it is also shown that for every positive integer \(m,\) there exists a one-parameter family of isometric stationary immersion of the Minkowski \(\mathbb R_1^2\) plane into \(\text{ N}_{m}^{2m+1}(-1).\) The author finally shows the existence of two-dimensional Lorentzian metrics with nonconstant curvature which satisfy the conditions of the theorems proven and used to obtain the classes in the paper.
