Complete classification of parallel spatial surfaces in pseudo-Riemannian space forms with arbitrary index and dimension (Q2266914)

A spatial surface of a pseudo-Riemannian space form is called parallel if its second fundamental form is parallel with respect to the Van der Waerden-Bortolotti connection. Parallel spatial surfaces in \(4\)-dimensional Lorentz space forms were classified by Chen and Van der Veken in [\textit{B.-Y. Chen} and \textit{J. van der Veken}, Tohoku Math. J. (2) 61, No.~1, 1--40 (2009; Zbl 1182.53018)]. The paper, under review, gives a complete classification of parallel spatial surfaces in pseudo-Riemannian space forms with arbitrary index and dimension. As such, this article can be recommended to everyone who is interested in the geometry of surfaces and its applications in pseudo-Riemannian space forms.
