This paper is aimed to identify some new characterizations and representations of the Minkowski inverse in Minkowski space. First of all, a few representations of {1,3m}, {1,2,3m}, {1,4m} and {1,2,4m}-inverses are given in order to…

We investigate the geometric properties of lightlike surfaces in the Minkowski space $\R^{2,1}$, using Cartan's method of moving frames to compute a complete set of local invariants for such surfaces. Using these invariants, we give a…
