In this paper, we study a class of spacelike rotational surfaces in the Minkowski 4-space $\mathbb{E}^4_1$ with meridian curves lying in 2-dimensional spacelike planes and having pointwise 1-type Gauss map. We obtain all such surfaces with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind. Then we prove that the spacelike rotational surface with flat normal bundle and pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the second kind is an open part of a spacelike 2-plane in $\mathbb{E}^4_1$.

In this study, we have investigated the possibility of whether any spacelike Frenet plane of a given space curve in Minkowski 3-space $\mathbb{E}_1^3$ also is any spacelike Frenet plane of another space curve in the same space. We have obtained some characterizations of a given space curve by considering nine possible case.

Minkowski spaces have long been investigated with respect to certain properties and substructues such as hyperbolic curves, hyperbolic angles and hyperbolic arc length. In 2009, based on these properties, Chung et al. [3] defined the basic concepts of special relativity, and thus; they interpreted the geometry of the Minkowski spaces. Then, in 2017, E. Nesovic [6] showed the geometric meaning of pseudo angles by interpreting the angle among the unit timelike, spacelike and null vectors on the Minkowski plane. In this study, we show that hyperbolic angle depends on time, t. Moreover, using this fact, we investigate the angles between the unit timelike and spacelike vectors.

We review the algebraic structure of $\mathbb{H}{\sharp}$ and show that $\mathbb{H}{\sharp}$ has a scalar product that allows as to identify it with semi Euclidean ${\mathbb{E}}^4_2$. We show that a pair q and p of unit split quaternions in $\mathbb{H}{\sharp}$ determines a rotation $R_{qp}:\mathbb{H}{\sharp}{\rightarrow}\mathbb{H}{\sharp}$. Moreover, we prove that $R_{qp}$ is a product of rotations in a pair of orthogonal planes in ${\mathbb{E}}^4_2$. To do that we call upon one tool from the theory of second ordinary differential equations.
