Abstract

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 $L_1 G=f(G+C)$ for some constant vector $C\in\mathbb E^3$ and smooth function $f$, where $L_1$ denotes the Cheng-Yau operator.

Keywords: Gauss map, $L_1$-pointwise 1-type, Cheng-Yau operator, rotational surface, helicoidal surface, Lie point symmetry
