We study translation surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space ��3 and the Gauss map N with respect to the so-called Cheng-Yau operator ☐. As a result, we prove that the only translation surfaces with Gauss map N satisfying ☐N = AN for some 3 × 3 matrix A are the flat ones. We also show that the only translation surfaces with Gauss map N satisfying ☐N = AN for some nonzero 3 × 3 matrix A are the cylindrical surfaces.

In this paper, we study surfaces in 3-dimensional Minkowski space in terms of certain type of their Gauss map. We give several results on these surfaces whose Gauss map G satisfies ${\square}G=f(G+C)$ for a smooth function f and a constant vector C, where ${\square}$ denotes the ChengYau operator. In particular, we obtain classification theorems on the rotational surfaces in ${\mathbb{E}}^3_1$ with space-like axis of rotation in terms of type of their Gauss map concerning the Cheng-Yau operator.

We study the Gauss map G of helicoidal surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space ${\mathbb{E}}^3$ with respect to the so called Cheng-Yau operator ${\square}$ acting on the functions defined on the surfaces. As a result, we completely classify the helicoidal surfaces with Gauss map G satisfying ${\square}G=AG$ for some $3{\times}3$ matrix A.

In this paper, we study rotational and helicoidal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space in terms of their Gauss map. We obtain a complete classification of these type of surfaces whose Gauss maps G satisfy $L_1G=f(G+C)$ for some constant vector $C{\in}\mathbb{E}^3$ and smooth function $f$, where $L_1$ denotes the Cheng-Yau operator.

In this paper, we study ruled surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean and Minkowski space in terms of their Gauss map. We obtain classification theorems for these type of surfaces whose Gauss map G satisfying ${\Box}G=f(G+C)$ for a constant vector $C{\in}{\mathbb{E}}^3$ and a smooth function f, where ${\Box}$ denotes the Cheng-Yau operator.

In this paper, we have considered linear Weingarten hypersurfaces in a sphere and obtained some rigidity theorems. The purpose of this paper is to give some extension of the results due to Cheng-Yau [3] and Li [7].

We study the Gauss map G of ruled surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^3$ with respect to the so called Cheng-Yau operator ${\Box}$ acting on the functions defined on the surfaces. As a result, we establish the classification theorem that the only ruled surfaces with Gauss map G satisfying ${\Box}G=AG$ for some $3{\times}3$ matrix A are the flat ones. Furthermore, we show that the only ruled surfaces with Gauss map G satisfying ${\Box}G=AG$ for some nonzero $3{\times}3$ matrix A are the cylindrical surfaces.

In this paper, we study surfaces in $\mathb{E}^3$ whose Gauss map G satisfies the equation ${\Box}G=f(G+C)$ for a smooth function $f$ and a constant vector C, where ${\Box}$ stands for the Cheng-Yau operator. We focus on surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature, constant mean curvature and constant principal curvature with such a property. We obtain some classification and characterization theorems for these kinds of surfaces. Finally, we give a characterization of surfaces whose Gauss map G satisfies the equation ${\Box}G={\lambda}(G+C)$ for a constant ${\lambda}$ and a constant vector C.

In this manuscript, we handle a tubular surface whose Gauss map G satisfies the equality L₁G = f(G + C) for the Cheng-Yau operator L₁ in Galilean 3-space 𝔾₃. We give an example of a tubular surface having L₁-harmonic Gauss map. Moreover, we obtain a complete classification of tubular surface having L₁-pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind in 𝔾₃ and we give some visualizations of this type surface.

In this paper, we introduce a second order linear differential operator ^T□: C^∞ (M) → C^∞ (M) as a natural generalization of Cheng-Yau operator, [8], where T is a (1, 1)-tensor on Riemannian manifold (M, h), and then we show on compact Riemannian manifolds, divT = divT^t, and if divT = 0, and f be a smooth function on M, the condition ^T□ f = 0 implies that f is constant. Hereafter, we introduce T-energy functionals and by deriving variations of these functionals, we define T-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds, which is a generalization of L_k-harmonic maps introduced in [3]. Also we have studied fT-harmonic maps for conformal immersions and as application of it, we consider fL_k-harmonic hypersurfaces in space forms, and after that we classify complete fL₁-harmonic surfaces, some fL_k-harmonic isoparametric hypersurfaces, fL_k-harmonic weakly convex hypersurfaces, and we show that there exists no compact fL_k-harmonic hypersurface either in the Euclidean space or in the hyperbolic space or in the Euclidean hemisphere. As well, some properties and examples of these definitions are given.
