摘要

Several methods to decompose a zero mean curvature surface in a certain space form into zero mean curvature surfaces in other space forms are known. For example, any non-planar minimal surface in Euclidean 3-space or maximal surface in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space can be decomposed into a pair of zero mean curvature surfaces in isotropic 3-space. In this paper, we investigate the geometric properties that are preserved under such decompositions. To do this, we first show using Weierstrass representations that the decompositions under examination are unique. Then, we examine the planar curvature line condition, isometric deformation, and affine minimality of zero mean curvature surfaces, and show that these geometric properties are all preserved under the decompositions.
