Abstract: Given an arbitrary $C^{i}nfty$ Riemannian manifold $M^n$, we consider the problem of introducing and constructing minimal hypersurfaces in $MimesmathbbR$ which have the same fundamental properties of the standard helicoids and catenoids of Euclidean space $mathbb{R}^3=mathbb{R}^{2}imesmathbbR$. Such hypersurfaces are defined by imposing conditions on their height functions and horizontal sections, and then called $vertical,helicoids$ and $vertical,catenoids$. We establish that vertical helicoids in $MimesmathbbR$ have the same fundamental uniqueness properties of the helicoids in $mathbb{R}^3.$ We provide several examples of vertical helicoids in the case where $M$ is one of the simply connected space forms. Vertical helicoids which are entire graphs of functions on ${mNil}_3$ and ${mSol}_3$ are also presented. We give a local characterization of hypersurfaces of $MimesmathbbR$ which have the gradient of their height functions as a principal direction. As a consequence, we prove that vertical catenoids exist in $MimesmathbbR$ if and only if $M$ admits families of isoparametric hypersurfaces. If so, they can be constructed through the solutions of a certain first order linear differential equation. Finally, we give a complete classification of the hypersurfaces of $MimesmathbbR$ whose angle function is constant.
