Miklyukov, Vladimir M. Space-like tubes of zero mean curvature in Minkowski space. (English) Zbl 0869.53037 Concus, Paul (ed.) et al., Advances in geometric analysis and continuum mechanics. Proceedings of a conference, held at Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA, August 2-5, 1993 in honor of the seventieth birthday of Robert Finn. Cambridge, MA: International Press. 209-224 (1995). This is a survey paper on recent results obtained by the author and some other Russian mathematicians on the theory of tubes of zero mean curvature in a Minkowski space. In particular, there are presented results on the following problems: (i) The external geometrical structure of tubes of zero mean curvature and bands. (ii) The existence and uniqueness problem for tubes and bands in a Lorentz space. (iii) The stability problems for tubes and bands.For the entire collection see [Zbl 0830.00033].
