Abstract
We investigate the geometric properties of lightlike surfaces in the Minkowski space , using Cartan's method of moving frames to compute a complete set of local invariants for such surfaces. Using these invariants, we give a complete local classification of lightlike surfaces of constant type in and construct new examples of such surfaces.
