Abstract

In this paper, we prove a classification theorem for Einstein lightlike hypersurfaces M of a Lorentzian space form ($\bar{M}$(c), $\bar{g}$) with a semi-symmetric metric connection subject such that the second fundamental forms of M and its screen distribution S(TM) are conformally related by some non-zero constant.
