Chen rotational surfaces of hyperbolic or elliptic type in four-dimensional Minkowski space (Q2844647)

This paper deals with the class of space-like surfaces in the 4-dimensional Minkowski space \( {\mathbf R}_{1}^{4} \) whose mean curvature vector at any point is a non-zero space-like vector or time-like vector. These surfaces are uniquely determined up to a motion by 8 invariant functions. Accordingly to the corresponding definitions, the Chen surfaces (submanifolds) are characterized by the condition that one of the above mentioned invariants is zero. All Chen space-like rotational surfaces of hyperbolic (resp. elliptic) type are described in Proposition 2.1 (resp. Proposition 2.2).
