Abstract

In this paper, we define translation surfaces in the 3-dimen\-sional Heisenberg group $\mathcal H_3$ obtained as a product of two planar curves lying in planes, which are not orthogonal, and study minimal translation surfaces in $\mathcal H_3$.

Keywords: translation surface, Heisenberg group, minimal surface
