In this paper we prove that there exists a Ricci condition such that a 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be realized as a spacelike maximal surface in L3, and show that the spacelike surface in L3 whose mean curvature vector h satisfies △h=λh for some λ∈R is a hyperboloid or a cylinder up to a Lorentz motion in L3.
