Generating Axially Symmetric Minimal Hyper-surfaces in R^{1,3}

Abstract

It is shown that, somewhat similar to the case of classical Baecklund transformations for surfaces of constant negative curvature, infinitely many axially symmetric minimal hypersurfaces in 4-dimensional Minkowski-space can be obtained, in a non-trivial way, from any given one by combining the scaling symmetries of the equations in light cone coordinates with a non-obvious symmetry (the analogue of Bianchis original transformation) - which can be shown to be involutive/correspond to a space-reflection.
