On constant slope spacelike surfaces in 3-dimensional Minkowski space. (English) Zbl 1226.53012
Summary: A space-like surface in the Minkowski 3-space is called a constant slope surface if its position vector makes a constant angle with the normal at each point on the surface. In this work, we study such surfaces and classify all of them.
