Abstract

In this paper, we study helicoidal surfaces without parabolic points in the 3-dimensional Lorentz–Minkowski space under the condition ΔII r i  = λ i r i where ΔII is the Laplace operator with respect to the second fundamental form and λ i is a real number. We prove that there are no helicoidal surfaces without parabolic points in the 3-dimensional Lorentz–Minkowski space satisfying that condition.
