Abstract

The main purpose of this project is to study Enneper type representations for minimal surfaces in the Euclidean space R3 and for minimal space like and time like surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space L3, using complex and paracomplex analysis, respectively. Some examples of minimal surfaces in R3 e L3 will be constructed via Enneper representation formula, which is equivalent to the Weiestrass representation formula for the same surfaces. Two papers will be used as a basis for the development of the project, one of them related to the Euclidean Enneper representation and the other to the Lorentzian Enneper representations. The method via Enneper representation has the advantage of allowing greater simplicity in computational calculus and of providing the construction of a conformal minimal immersion from a harmonic function.
