Stationary surfaces of height-dependent weighted area functionals in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $\mathbb{L}^3$

Abstract

We describe a general correspondence between weighted minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and weighted maximal surfaces with some admissible singularities in $\mathbb{L}^3$, for a class of functions $\varphi$ which provides the corresponding weight. For these families of surfaces, we provide a Weierstrass representation when $\dot{\varphi}\neq 0$ and analyze in detail the asymptotic behavior of both such a weighted maximal surface around its singular set and its corresponding weighted minimal immersion around the nodal set of its angle function, establishing criteria that allow us to easily determine the type of singularity and classify the associated moduli spaces.
