Abstract

In this paper we study the Lorentzian surfaces with finite type Gauss map in the four-dimensional Minkowski space. First, we obtain the complete classification of minimal surfaces with pointwise 1-type Gauss map. Then, we get a classification of Lorentzian surfaces with nonzero constant mean curvature and of finite type Gauss map. We also give some explicit examples.
