In this article, we study space-like and time-like surfaces in a Robertson-Walker space-time,, denoted by $L^4_1(f,c)$, having positive relative nullity. First, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for such space-like and time-like surfaces in $L^4_1(f,c)$. Then, we obtain the local classification theorems for space-like and time-like surfaces in $L^4_1(f,0)$ with positive relative nullity. Finally, we consider the space-like and time-like surfaces in $\mathbb{E}^1_1\times\mathbb{S}^3$ and $\mathbb{E}^1_1\times\mathbb{H}^3$ with positive relative nullity. These are the special spaces of $L^4_1(f,c)$ when the warping function $f$ is a constant function, with $c=1$ for $\mathbb{E}^1_1\times\mathbb{S}^3$ and $c=-1$ for $\mathbb{E}^1_1\times\mathbb{H}^3$.

In this paper, we mainly focus on space-like PMCV surfaces in Robertson-Walker spacetimes. First, we derive certain geometrical properties of biconservative surfaces in the Robertson-Walker space $L^n_1(f, c)$ of arbitrary dimension. Then, we get complete local classifications of such surfaces in $L^4_1(f,0)$, $L^5_1(f,0)$ and $L^5_1(1,\pm 1)$. Finally, we proved that a space-like PMCV biconservative surface in $L^n_1(f,0)$ lies on a totally geodesic submanifold with dimension $4$ or $5$.

In this article, we consider space-like surfaces in Robertson-Walker Space times $L^4_1(f,c)$ with comoving observer field $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$. We study some problems related to such surfaces satisfying the geometric conditions imposed on the tangential part and normal part of the unit vector field $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$ naturally defined. First, we investigate space-like surfaces in $L^4_1(f,c)$ satisfying that the tangent component of $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$ is an eigenvector of all shape operators, called class $\mathcal A$ surfaces. Then, we get a classification theorem of space-like class $\mathcal A$ surfaces in $L^4_1(f,0)$. Also, we examine minimal space-like class $\mathcal A$ surfaces in $L^4_1(f,0)$. Finally, we give the parametrizations of space-like surfaces in $L^4_1(f,0)$ when the normal part of the unit vector field $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$ is parallel.

In this study, we deal with the Gauss map of tubular hypersurfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space concerning the linearized operators $\mathcal{L}_{1}$ (Cheng-Yau) and $\mathcal{L}_{2}$. We obtain the $\mathcal{L}_{1}$ (Cheng-Yau) operator of the Gauss map of tubular hypersurfaces that are formed as the envelope of a family of pseudo hyperspheres {or pseudo hyperbolic hyperspheres} whose centers lie on timelike or spacelike curves with non-null Frenet vectors in $\mathbb{E}^{4}_{1}$ and give some classifications for these hypersurfaces which have generalized $\mathcal{L}_{k}$ 1-type Gauss map, first kind $\mathcal{L}_{k}$-pointwise 1-type Gauss map, second kind $\mathcal{L}_{k}$-pointwise 1-type Gauss map and $\mathcal{L}_{k}$-harmonic Gauss map, $k\in\{1,2\}$.

In this paper, we study the Gauss map of rotational hypersurfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space concerning the linear second order differential operators $L_1$ and $L_2$, where $L_1$ is usually called as the Cheng-Yau operator. We obtain some classifications of rotational hypersurfaces which have $L_k$-harmonic Gauss map, $L_k$-pointwise 1-type Gauss map and generalized $L_k$ 1-type Gauss map, where $k = 1,2$.

In this paper, we study biconservative surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field ($PNMC$) in the $4$-dimensional unit Euclidean sphere $\mathbb{S}^4$. First, we study the existence and uniqueness of such surfaces. We obtain that there exists a $2$-parameter family of non-isometric abstract surfaces that admit a (unique) $PNMC$ biconservative immersion in $\mathbb{S}^4$. Then, we obtain the local parametrization of these surfaces in the $5$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^5$.

In this paper, we investigate rotational hypersurfaces family in $n$ -dimensional Euclidean space ${\mathbb{E}}^{n}$. Our focus is on studying the Gauss map $\mathcal{G}$ of this family with respect to the operator $\mathbb{L}_{k}$, which acts on functions defined on the hypersurfaces. The operator $\mathbb{L}_{k}$ can be viewed as a modified Laplacian and is known by various names, including the Cheng--Yau operator in certain cases. Specifically, we focus on the scenario where $k=n-3$ and $n\geq 3$. By applying the operator $\mathbb{L}_{n-3}$ to the Gauss map $\mathcal{G}$, we establish a classification theorem. This theorem establishes a connection between the $n\times n$ matrix $\mathcal{A}$, and the Gauss map $\mathcal{G}$ through the equation $\mathbb{L}_{n-3}\mathcal{G}=\mathcal{A}\mathcal{G}$., Comment: 17 pages

A hypersurface in a Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{n+1}$ is said to be a generalized constant ratio (GCR) hypersurface if the tangential part of its position vector is one of its principle directions.
