Weierstrass Representation of Lightlike Surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski 4-Space

We present a Weierstrass-type representation formula which locally represents every regular two-dimensional lightlike surface in Lorentz-Minkowski 4-Space $\mathbb{M}^4$ by three dual functions $(\rho,f,g)$ and generalizes the representation for regular lightlike surfaces in $\mathbb{M}^3$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the functions $\rho$, $f$, $g$ for the surface to be minimal, ruled or $l$-minimal. For ruled lightlike surfaces, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the representation itself to be ruled. Furthermore, we give a result on totally geodesic half-lightlike surfaces which holds only in $\mathbb{M}^4$.
