Isometric embedding of negatively curved complete surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

Hilbert-Efimov theorem states that any complete surface with curvature bounded above by a negative constant can not be isometrically imbedded in R3.\mathbb{R}^3. We demonstrate that any simply-connected smooth complete surface with curvature bounded above by a negative constant admits a smooth isometric embedding into the Lorentz-Minkowski space R2,1\mathbb{R}^{2,1}.
