dc.descriptionIn this paper we introduce a local approach for the study of maximal surfaces immersed into a Lorentzian product space of the form $M^2\times R_1$, where $M^2$ is a connected Riemannian surface and $M^2\times R_1$ is endowed with the product Lorentzian metric. Specifically, we establish a local integral inequality for the squared norm of the second fundamental form of the surface, which allows us to derive an alternative proof of our Calabi-Bernstein theorem given in \cite{AA}.
