  • We solve the $Bj{\ddot{o}}rling$ problem for constant mean curvature one surfaces in hyperbolic three-space and in de Sitter three-space. That is, we show that for any regular, analytic (and spacelike in the case of de Sitter three-space) curve ${\gamma}$ and an analytic (timelike in the case of de Sitter three-space) unit vector field N along and orthogonal to ${\gamma}$, there exists a unique (spacelike in the case of de Sitter three-space) surface of constant mean curvature 1 which contains ${\gamma}$ and the unit normal of which on ${\gamma}$ is N. Some of the consequences are the planar reflection principles, and a classification of rotationally invariant CMC 1 surfaces.

  • We study Lorentzian surfaces with the constant Gaussian curvatures or the constant mean curvatures in the 3-dimensional Lorentzian space and their transformations. Such surfaces are associated to the Lorentzian Grassmannian systems and some transformations on such surfaces are given by dressing actions on those systems.
