On light-like extremal surfaces in curved spacetimes    [PDF]

Shou-Jun Huang, Chun-Lei He
In this paper, we are concerned with light-like extremal surfaces in curved spacetimes. It is interesting to find that under a diffeomorphic transformation of variables, the light-like extremal surfaces can be described by a system of nonlinear geodesic equations. Particularly, we investigate the light-like extremal surfaces in Schwarzschild spacetime in detail and some new special solutions are derived systematically with aim to comparing with the known results and illustrating the method.
