Abstract | Space-like maximal surfaces and time-like minimal surfaces
in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space R31 are both characterized as zero mean
curvature surfaces. We are interested in the case where the zero mean
curvature surface changes type from space-like to time-like at a given
non-degenerate null curve. We consider this phenomenon and its interesting connection to 2-dimensional fluid mechanics in this expository
article.
