Space-like surfaces with free boundary in the Lorentz–Minkowski space

Abstract

We investigate a variational problem in the Lorentz–Minkowski space whose critical points are space-like surfaces with a constant mean curvature and making a constant contact angle with a given support surface along its common boundary. We show that if the support surface is a pseudosphere, then the surface is a planar disc or a hyperbolic cap. We also study the problem of space-like hypersurfaces with free boundary in the higher dimensional Lorentz–Minkowski space .
