Abstract: We construct a twin correspondence between graphs with prescribed mean curvature in three-dimensional Riemannian Killing submersions and spacelike graphs with prescribed mean curvature in three-dimensional Lorentzian Killing submersions. Our 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, we transform the prescribed mean curvature equation in $mathbb{L}^3$ into the minimal surface equation in the generalized Heisenberg space with prescribed bundle curvature. We present several applications of the twin correspondence to the study of the moduli space of complete spacelike surfaces in certain Lorentzian spacetimes.
