Abstract
In Minkowskian 3-spacetime $L^3$ we find timelike or spacelike surface of revolution for the given Gauss curvature K = -1, 0, 1 and mean curvature H = 0. In fact, we set up the surface of revolution with the time axis for z-axis to be able to draw those surfaces on standard pictures in Minkowskian 3-spacetime $L^3$.
Keywords
Minkowskian 3-spacetime; surface of revolution; minimal timelike surface; maximal spacelike surface; constant Gaussian curvature;
