Abstract: In this paper, we study entire translating solutions $u(x)$ to a mean curvature flow equation in Minkowski space. We show that if $Sigma=(x,u(x))|xinmathbb{R}^n$ is a strictly spacelike hypersurface, then $Sigma$ reduces to a strictly convex rank k soliton in $mathbb{R}^{k,1}$ (after splitting off trivial factors) whose "blowdown" converges to a multiple $lambdain(0,1)$ of a positively homogeneous degree one convex function in $mathbb{R}^k$. We also show that there is nonuniqueness as the rotationally symmetric solution may be perturbed to a solution by an arbitrary smooth order one perturbation.
