| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A class of maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space, named "Kobayashi surfaces" is introduced. A surface in this class can be extended to a zero-mean curvature surfaces which changes causal types from space-like to time-like. Existence of infinitely many surfaces among this class which are graphs of functions over the space-like plane. On the other hand, the first example of a zero-mean curvature which contains a light-like line and changes causal types across the line is obtained. Such a property, called the light-like line theorem, are generalized for wider class of surfaces.
For a surface in Lorentzian 3-manifold which changes its causal type from space-like to time-like at a light-like point, it is shown that the mean curvature function converges to zero at the light-like point. In particuler, it is shown that a non-zero constant mean curvature surface cannot change its causal type.
