Space-like Surfaces in Minkowski Space $\mathbb E^4_1$ with Pointwise 1-Type Gauss Map

Abstract

In this work we firstly classify space-like surfaces in Minkowski space $\mathbb E^4_1$, de-Sitter space $\mathbb S^3_1$ and hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^3$ with harmonic Gauss map. Then we give a characterization and classification of space-like surfaces with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind. We also give some explicit examples.
