Abstract: Let $x:MoBm$ be the canonical injection of a Null Hypersurface $(M,g)$ in a semi-Riemannian manifold $$. A rigging for $M$ is a vector field $L$ defined on some open set of $overlineM$ containing $M$ such that $L_{p}otin{T}_{p}M$ for each $pinM$. Such a vector field induces a null rigging $N$. Let $$ be the 1-form which is $$-metrically equivalent to $N$ and $$ its pull back on $M$. We introduce and study for a given non vanishing function $alpha$ on $M$ the so-called $alpha$-associated (semi-)Riemannian metric $g_{alpha}=g+alphaetaotimeseta$. For a closed rigging $N$ we give a constructive method to find an $alpha$-associated metric whose Levi-Civita connection coincides with the connection $abla$ induced on $M$ by the Levi-Civita connection $overlineabla$ of $overlineM$ and the null rigging $N$. We relate geometric objects of $g_{alpha}$ to those of $g$ and $overlineg$. As application, we show that given a null Monge hypersurface $M$ in $R_q^{n+1},$ there always exists a rigging and an $alpha$-associated metric whose Levi-Civita connection coincides with the induced connection on $M$.
