Generalized Calabi correspondence and complete spacelike surfaces (Q1741602)

A submersion $\pi:\mathbb{E}\to M$ from an orientable Lorentzian or Riemannian three-manifold $\mathbb{E}$ is called Killing if it preserves the length of horizontal vectors and its fibers are the integral curves of a unit Killing vector field $\xi$ in $\mathbb{E}$. The metric in $\mathbb{E}$ is Riemannian in the two-dimensional horizontal distribution orthogonal to $\xi$, but $\xi$ is a time-like vector field if $\mathbb{E}$ is assumed Lorentzian. \par In this paper, the authors construct a twin correspondence between graphs with prescribed mean curvature in three-dimensional Riemannian Killing submersions and space-like graphs with prescribed mean curvature in three-dimensional Lorentzian Killing submersions. Their duality extends the Calabi correspondence between minimal graphs in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ and maximal graphs in the Lorentz-Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{L}^3$, by allowing arbitrary prescribed mean curvature and bundle curvature. For instance, they transform the prescribed mean curvature equation in $\mathbb{L}^3$ into the minimal surface equation in the generalized Heisenberg space with prescribed bundle curvature. They present several applications of the twin correspondence to the study of the moduli space of complete space-like surfaces in certain Lorentzian spacetimes.
