By means of this formula, we stablish several su cient conditions for compact spacelike surfaces with con- stant Gauss curvature to have a null umbilical direction. As another application, we give a new proof of the Liebmann rigidity theorem in Euclidean, hemispherical and hyperbolic spaces, and in the De Sitter spacetime.}, organization = {Spanish MINECO and ERDF project MTM2013-47828-C2-1-P}, keywords = {Spacelike surface}, keywords = {Gauss curvature}, keywords = {Liebmann theorem}, title = {Spacelike surfaces which admit a nondegenerate null normal section in a Lorentzian space form}, doi = {10.1007/s40840-017-0557-x}, author = {Fuente Benito, Daniel de la and Palomo, Francisco J. and Romero Sarabia, Alfonso}, }
