From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by David Eppstein (talk | contribs) at 20:48, 8 September 2019 (Further reading: Tilla Weinstein). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

In mathematics, a Lorentz surface is a two-dimensional oriented smooth manifold with a conformal equivalence class of Lorentzian metrics. It is the analogue of a Riemann surface in indefinite signature.
