On Legendrian dual surfaces of a spacelike curve in the 3-dimensional lightcone

Speaker: Handan Yildirim (University of Istanbul)

Abstract: In this talk which is based on the joint work with Kentaro Saji given in [3], taking into account the Legendrian dualities in [2] which are extensions of the Legendrian dualities in [1], we first introduce new extended Legendrian dualities for the 3-dimensional pseudo-spheres of various radii in Lorentz-Minkowski 4-space. Secondly, by connecting all of these Legendrian dualities continuously, we construct Legendrian dual surfaces (lying in these 3-dimensional pseudo-spheres) of a spacelike curve in the 3-dimensional lightcone. Finally, we investigate the singularities of these surfaces and show the dualities of the singularities of a certain class of such a surface in the 3-dimensional lightcone.
