Abstract: We prove the existence of a unique maximal surface in each anti-de Sitter (AdS) convex Globally Hyperbolic Maximal (GHM) manifold with particles (that is, with conical singularities along time-like lines) for cone angles less than pi. We interpret this result in terms of Teichm"uller theory, and prove the existence of a unique minimal Lagrangian diffeomorphism isotopic to the identity between two hyperbolic surfaces with cone singularities when the cone angles are the same for both surfaces and are less than pi.


A \textit{particle} in an anti-de Sitter globally hyperbolic maximal (AdS GHM) manifold is a conical singularity along a time-like line. A main result of the paper under review is the following. Theorem 1.4: For each AdS convex GHM \(3\)-manifold \((M, g)\) with particles of angles less than \(\pi \), there exists a unique maximal space-like surface \(S\hookrightarrow (M, g)\). The obtained picture extends the connections between minimal Lagrangian diffeomorphisms and harmonic maps to the case with conical singularities.
