PARALLEL SURFACES IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL LORENTZIAN LIE GROUPS

Abstract

A three-dimensional homogeneous Lorentzian manifold is either symmetric or locally isometric to a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant Lorentzian metric [4]. We completely classify surfaces with parallel second fundamental form in all non-symmetric homogeneous Lorentzian three-manifolds. Interesting differences arise with respect to the Riemannian case studied in [11, 12].
