Abstract

Let \alpha\in\r and let \vec{v}\in\r^3 be a unit vector. A singular minimal surface Σ\Sigma in Euclidean space is a surface Σ\Sigma whose mean curvature HH satisfies H=αN,vp,vH=\alpha\frac{\langle N,\vec{v}\rangle}{\langle p,\vec{v}\rangle}, where NN is the unit normal vector of Σ\Sigma. In this short note we study singular minimal surfaces which are invariant by a one-parameter group of helicoidal motions. We prove that if Σ\Sigma is a helicoidal singular minimal surface, then the axis of the helicoidal motion is orthogonal to v\vec{v}, α=1\alpha=-1 and Σ\Sigma is a circular right cylinder.
