摘要
We investigate helicoidal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space L-3. A purely geometric method is used for classifying the helicoidal maximal surfaces. This description consists on exposing helicoidal maximal surfaces as solutions to certain adequate Bjorling problems in L-3, and shows that a maximal surface is helicoidal if and only if it lies in the associate family of a catenoid in L-3. We shall also give characteristic properties of the catenoids and helicoids in L-3.
