Abstract
We investigate the geometric properties of lightlike surfaces in the Minkowski space R2,1R2,1, using Cartan’s method of moving frames to compute a complete set of local invariants for such surfaces. Using these invariants, we give a complete local classification of lightlike surfaces of constant type in R2,1R2,1 and construct new examples of such surfaces.
