The study of surface in a Euclidean space whose Gauss map G satisfies the condition : \DeltaG = AG(*)$ for some matrix A was studied by C. Baikoussis, D. E. Blair, B. Y. Chen, F. Dillen, L. Verstraelen ([1]1, [2], [7]) and so on.

In this article, we study the Gauss map of generalized slant cylindrical surfaces (GSCS's) in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^3$. Surfaces of revolution, cylindrical surfaces and tubes along a plane curve are special cases of GSCS's. Our main results state that the only GSCS's with Gauss map G satisfying ${\Delta}G=AG$ for some $3{\times}3$ matrix A are the planes, the spheres and the circular cylinders.

In the present article we study a special class of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space, which are one-parameter systems of meridians of the standard rotational hypersurface. They are called meridian surfaces. We show that a meridian surface has a harmonic Gauss map if and only if it is part of a plane. Further, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a meridian surface to have pointwise 1-type Gauss map and find all meridian surfaces with pointwise 1-type Gauss map.

We construct generalized Cauchy-Riemann equations of the first order for a pair of two ℝ-valued functions to deform a minimal graph in ℝ³ to the one parameter family of the two dimensional minimal graphs in ℝ⁴. We construct the two parameter family of minimal graphs in ℝ⁴, which include catenoids, helicoids, planes in ℝ³, and complex logarithmic graphs in ℂ². We present higher codimensional generalizations of Scherk's periodic minimal surfaces.

In this paper, we introduce a new method to construct a parametric surface in terms of curves and points lying on Euclidean 3-space, called a C⁰-Hermite surface interpolation. We also prove the existence of a C⁰-Hermite interpolation of isoparametric surfaces with the so-called marching scale functions, and give some examples. Finally, we construct ruled surfaces and surfaces foliated by a circle as an isoparametric surface.

It is well-known that a null 2-type surface in 3-dimensional Euclidean space $E^#$ is an open portion of circular cylinder. In this article we prove that a surface with 2-type and 1-type Gauss map in $E^3$ is in fact of null 2-type and thus it is an open portion of circular cylinder.

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.

In this article, we study surfaces of revolution without parabolic points in a Euclidean 3-space whose Gauss map G satisfies the condition ${\Delta}^hG\;=\;AG,A\;{\in}\;Mat(3,{\mathbb{R}}),\;where\;{\Delta}^h$ denotes the Laplace operator of the second fundamental form h of the surface and Mat(3,$\mathbb{R}$) the set of 3${\times}$3-real matrices, and also obtain the complete classification theorem for those. In particular, we have a characterization of an ordinary sphere in terms of it.

The helicoidal surfaces with pointwise 1-type or harmonic gauss map in Euclidean 3-space are studied. The notion of pointwise 1-type Gauss map is a generalization of usual sense of 1-type Gauss map. In particular, we prove that an ordinary helicoid is the only genuine helicoidal surface of polynomial kind with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind and a right cone is the only rational helicoidal surface with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the second kind. Also, we give a characterization of rational helicoidal surface with harmonic or pointwise 1-type Gauss map.

In 3-dimensional Euclidean space, the geometric figures of a regular curve are completely determined by the curvature function and the torsion function of the curve, and surfaces are the fundamental curved spaces for pioneering study in modern geometry as well as in classical differential geometry. In this paper, we define parametrizations for surface by using parametric functions whose images are in the normal plane of each point on a given curve, and then obtain some results relating the Gaussian curvature of the surface with curvature and torsion of the given curve. In particular, we find some conditions for the surface to have either nonpositive Gaussian curvature or nonnegative Gaussian curvature.
