Abstract

A spacelike surface in Minkowski space R13\mathbb{R}_1^3 is called a KαK^\alpha-translator of the flow by the powers of Gauss curvature if satisfies Kα=N,vK^\alpha= \langle N,\vec{v}\rangle, α0\alpha \neq 0, where KK is the Gauss curvature, NN is the unit normal vector field and v\vec{v} is a direction of R13\mathbb{R}_1^3. In this paper, we classify all rotational KαK^\alpha-translators. This classification will depend on the causal character of the rotation axis. Although the theory of the KαK^\alpha-flow holds for spacelike surfaces, the equation describing KαK^\alpha-translators is still valid for timelike surfaces. So we also investigate the timelike rotational surfaces that satisfy the same prescribing Gauss curvature equation.
