We present some results concerning flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space, including: • A geometrical derivation for a local Weierstrass representation for flat surfaces, using as a starting point an old result due to Luigi Bianchi. • Let M ⊂ H be a flat compact connected smooth surface with ∂M 6= ∅, transversal to a foliation of H by horospheres. If ∂M makes a constant angle with the leaves of the foliation, then M is part of an equidistant surface to a geodesic orthogonal to the foliation. • We also consider the caustic surface associated to a family of parallel flat surfaces and prove that the caustic of such a family is also a flat surface (possibly with singularities). • The complete examples of flat surfaces in hyperbolic space are classified ( we only have horospheres and surfaces equidistants to a geodesic). Therefore it is natural to study surfaces with singularities. We study flat surfaces constructed via the Weierstrass representation with singularities, and prove a rigidity result. Roughly stated, it says the following: if two flat surfaces have the same space curve as a singular curve, then the two flat surfaces coincide.
