Gauss map and its applications on ruled submanifolds in Minkowski space (Q2333616)

Summary: We study ruled submanifolds in Minkowski space in regard to the Gauss map satisfying some partial differential equation. As a generalization of usual cylinders, cones and null scrolls in a three-dimensional Minkowski space, a cylinder over a space curve, a product manifold of a right cone and a \(k\)-plane, a product manifold of a hyperbolic cone and a \(k\)-plane which look like kinds of cylinders over cones in 3-space, and the generalized \(B\)-scroll kind in Minkowski space are characterized with the partial differential equation regarding the Gauss map, where \(k\) is a positive integer.
