: We introduce the generalized helical hypersurface having a space-like axis in five-dimensional Minkowski space. We compute the first and second fundamental form matrices, Gauss map, and shape operator matrix of the hypersurface. Additionally, we compute the curvatures of the hypersurface by using the Cayley–Hamilton theorem. Moreover, we give some relations for the mean and the Gauss–Kronecker curvatures of the hypersurface. Finally, we obtain the Laplace–Beltrami operator of the hypersurface.

Preliminaries
In this section, some fundamental facts and the notations of the differential geometry are described.
Let E m 1 denote the Minkowski (or semi-Euclidean) m-space with its metric tensor described by where x i is the Minkowski coordinates of type (m − 1, 1).Consider an m-dimensional semi-Riemannian submanifold M of the space E m 1 .The Levi-Civita connections [56] of the manifold M and its submanifold M of E m 1 are indicated by ∇, ∇, respectively.Describing the vector field tangent (respectively, normal) to M, the letters X ,Y,Z,N (respectively, ζ, η) are used.
The Gauss and Weingarten formulas are given, respectively, by where h, D, and A are the second fundamental form, the normal connection, and the shape operator of M, respectively.
For each ζ ∈ T ⊥ p M, the shape operator A ζ is a symmetric endomorphism of the tangent space T p M at p ∈ M. The shape operator and the second fundamental form are related by The Gauss and Codazzi equations are given, respectively, by where R, R D are the curvature tensors matched with connections ∇ and D, respectively, and ∇h is defined by

Hypersurface of Minkowski Space
Now, let M be an oriented hypersurface in Minkowski space E n+1 1 , S its shape operator (i.e., the Weingarten map), and x its position vector.Note the local orthonormal frame {e 1 , e 2 , . . ., e n } consisting of the principal directions of M matching with the principal curvature k i for i = 1, 2, . . .n.Let the dual basis of this frame field be {ς 1 , ς 2 , . . ., ς n }.Then, the first Cartan structural equation is where ψ ij indicates the connection forms matching with the selected frame field.Determine the Levi-Civita connection of M in E n+1 1 by ∇.Hence, from the Codazzi equation, the following occurs: for distinct i, j, l = 1, 2, . . ., n.
The following notation is run: The function s k is called the k-th mean curvature of M. The functions H = 1 n s 1 and K = s n are called the mean curvature and Gauss-Kronecker curvature of M, respectively.When s j ≡ 0 on M, then M is called j-minimal.See Alias and Gürbüz [57] and also Kühnel [58].
In E n+1 1 , the characteristic polynomial equation of S is obtained by where i = 0, . . ., n, I n denotes the identity matrix of order n.Then, the curvature formulas are determined by ( n i )K i = s i .Here, ( n 0 )K 0 = s 0 = 1 (by definition), ( n On the other side, we compute the fundamental forms, Gauss map G, the shape operator matrix S, i-th curvature formulas K i , the mean curvature K 1 , and the Gauss-Kronecker curvature K 4 of a hypersurface x = x(r, θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 ) in Minkowski 5-space E 5  1 .We identify a vector − → α with its transpose in this work.We assume x = x(r, θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 ) to be an immersion from M 4 ⊂ E 4 to E 5  1 .Next, we give some definitions, notions, etc., about semi-Riemannian geometry.The readers can refer to O'Neill [59] for details.
From here to the end, we will use notation " • " other than ., . .
Definition 3.For a hypersurface given by four parameters x = x(r, θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 ) in E 5 1 , the first and second fundamental form matrices are defined by Here, the components of the above matrices are described by , etc., and the Gauss map of the hypersurface x is determined by the following formula: Definition 4. The product matrix I −1 .II is called the shape operator matrix S of the hypersurface x = x(r, θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 ).In addition, det(S) gives the mean curvature K 1 , trace(S)/4 gives the Gauss-Kronecker curvature K 4 of x.
Here, I, II, III, IV, V are the first, second, third, fourth, and the fifth fundamental form matrices having order 4 × 4 of the hypersurface.Definition 6.In E 5 1 , the characteristic polynomial of S is determined by where I 4 indicates the identity matrix of order 4. Hence, the curvature formulas are )K 4 = s 4 , K 1 is the mean curvature, and K 4 is the Gauss-Kronecker curvature, and See [58] for details of K j , and also [44,45] for details of dimension four.Next, we determine the explicit formulas of the mean curvature K 1 and the Gauss-Kronecker curvature K 4 of hypersurface x.Theorem 1.For a hypersurface in E 5  1 , the general formulas of the mean curvature, and the Gauss-Kronecker curvature are defined, respectively, by and where Proof.By using the Definition 3, Definition 4, and Definition 6, we obtain the characteristic polynomial of the shape operator matrix of the hypersurface.Then, we have the curvatures K 1 and K 4 easily.

Generalized Helical Hypersurface Having a Space-like Axis in E 5 1
In Riemannian space forms, the rotational hypersurfaces can be seen in the work of Do Carmo and Dajczer [60].
Next, we define the generalized helical hypersurface in space forms.

Definition 8.
For an open interval I ⊂ R, let γ : I −→ Π be a curve in a plane Π, and be a line in Π.A rotational hypersurface is defined as a hypersurface rotating a curve γ around a line (called the profile curve and the axis, respectively).Suppose that, when a profile curve γ rotates around the axis , it simultaneously displaces parallel lines orthogonal to the axis , so that the speed of displacement is proportional to the speed of rotation.Therefore, the resulting hypersurface is called the generalized helical hypersurface having axis , and pitches a, b, c ∈ R−{0}.
Definition 9.For a curve γ = γ(r) and a hypersurface x = x(r, θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 ) in five-dimensional Minkowski space E 5 1 , the following applies: i. The The readers can see O'Neill [59] and Kühnel [58] for details.Next, we determine the generalized helical hypersurface having a space-like axis in E 5 1 .While the axis of rotation is , there is a Lorentzian transformation by which the axis is transformed to the x 1 -axis of E 5  1 .The rotation matrix obtained by the space-like vector (1, 0, 0, 0, 0) of the rotation axis in E 5  1 is described as follows: The semi-orthogonal rotation matrix R supplies the following relations: where ε = diag(1, 1, 1, 1, −1), diag means diagonal parts of the matrix.Parametrization of the profile curve is given by where ϕ, f : I ⊂ R −→ R are the differentiable functions for all parameters r ∈ I.
When c = θ 3 = 0, we obtain a helical hypersurface having a space-like axis in four-dimensional Minkowski space-time E 4 1 ; 4.
Proof.The solution matrix I −1 .II supplies the shape operator matrix S of the hypersurface Computing the formula of curvatures K j , where j = 0, 1, . . ., 4, we reveal the characteristic polynomial P S (λ) = det(S − λI 4 ) = 0 of S.Then, we find the following: Here, k i , i = 1, . . ., 4, are the principal curvatures of the hypersurface x.
See [44,45,48] for the cases of four-dimensional Euclidean space E 4 .Hence, the mean curvature and the Gauss-Kronecker curvature of the generalized helical hypersurface having a space-like axis given by Equation (5) are described, respectively, as follows.
Theorem 3. The mean and Gauss-Kronecker curvatures of the generalized helical hypersurface having a space-like axis determined by Equation (5), respectively, are given by where and Proof.By considering Definition 3, and by taking the first derivatives of hypersurface Equation (5) with respect to r, θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 , we obtain the following first fundamental form matrix: We then have det where By using the Gauss map formula in Definition 3, we obtain the following Gauss map of the helical hypersurface having a space-like axis determined by Equation (5 Next, taking care of Definition 3, Gauss map Equation (8), and by using the second derivatives of the helical hypersurface with respect to r, θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 , we have the following second fundamental form matrix: The product matrix I −1 .II describes the following shape operator matrix of the helical hypersurface: The characteristic polynomial P S (λ) = det(S − λI 4 ) = 0 of the shape operator matrix determined by Equation ( 9) is as follows: where Here, We then compute the components of S described by Equation (9) as follows: Therefore, also from Definition 6, det(S) gives the mean curvature K 1 , trace(S)/4 gives the Gauss-Kronecker curvature K 4 of the helical hypersurface having a space-like axis described by Equation (5) in five-dimensional Minkowski space.
Proof.We use the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, and we obtain Then, we reveal the following characteristic polynomial of S: Hence, it is clear.
Note that three-dimensional cases of Theorem 4 are known by Here, K 0 = 1, O is the zero matrix of order 2, K 1 = H describes the mean curvature, and K 2 = K determines the Gaussian curvature of the surface in three-dimensional space forms.
In addition, four-dimensional cases of Theorem 4 are determined by Here, K 0 = 1, O is the zero matrix of order 3, K 1 indicates the mean curvature, and K 3 describes the Gauss-Kronecker curvature of the hypersurface in four-dimensional space forms.

The Umbilical Hypersurfaces in Minkowski Five-Space
In this section, we give some umbilical facts of the hypersurfaces in five-dimensional Minkowski space E 5 1 .From Theorem 2, the relations among the curvatures K i=0,...,4 and the principal curvatures k j=1,...,4 of any hypersurface in five-dimensional Minkowski space are explicitly described by Then, we obtain the following.
Corollary 2. For a hypersurface in five-dimensional Minkowski space E 5  1 , the following occurs: Remark 1.The umbilical hypersurfaces of five-dimensional Minkowski space E 5 1 are only (open) hyperplanes and hyperspheres.
An umbilical point is a geometric notion depends on the lines of curvature, which is a singularity of a line of curvature.That is, a line of curvature will end at that point.Lemma 1.A point is an umbilical point on the hypersurface in E 5  1 if and only if Theorem 5.The generalized helical hypersurface with a space-like axis given by Equation (5) has an umbilical point if and only if the following differential equation holds: Proof.A generalized helical hypersurface x having a space-like axis has an umbilical point in E 5 1 ; then, (K 1 ) 4 = K 4 .
Open Problem 1. Find the ϕ = ϕ(r) solutions of the 2nd order differential equation determined by Theorem 5. Now, we state minimality conditions, determined by Definition 7, of the generalized helical hypersurface having a space-like axis given by Equation (5).

Generalized Helical Hypersurface with a Space-like Axis Supplying ∆x =Mx
In this section, we define the Laplace-Beltrami operator with respect to the first fundamental form of a smooth function in E 5  1 .Then, we calculate the Laplace-Beltrami operator of the generalized helical hypersurface having a space-like axis given by Equation (5).
Firstly, we give the definition of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with respect to first fundamental form of any smooth function in five-dimensional Minkowski space.Definition 10.In five-dimensional Minkowski space, the Laplace-Beltrami operator depends on the first fundamental form of a smooth function φ where g ij = (g kl ) −1 and g = det g ij .
To apply the above definition for the generalized helical hypersurface having a spacelike axis determined by Equation (5), we consider the inverse matrix of the first fundamen- tal form matrix.Then, the components of the inverse matrix g ij = I −1 of I, described by Definition 3, are given by We replace φ = φ(x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , x 4 ) with x = x(r, θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 ) in Equation (11).Therefore, by using the following inverse matrix of Equation (6): and by differentiating the functions in Equation (11) with respect to r, θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 , respectively, we obtain the following.Theorem 6.The Laplace-Beltrami operator of the generalized helical hypersurface Equation (5) having a space-like axis given by Equation (5) supplies the following relation: where K 1 is the mean curvature determined by Theorem 3, and G is the Gauss map given by Equation (8) of the hypersurface.
Proof.By direct computing (5) with the help of Equation (11), we obtain the relation ∆x = 4K 1 G.
On the other hand, we serve the following theorem about the Laplace-Beltrami operator and the mean curvature of the generalized helical hypersurface having a space-like axis determined by Equation (5).
1 be an immersion described by Equation (5).∆x = Mx, where M = m ij is a square matrix of order 5 if and only if K 1 = 0, i.e., generalized helical hypersurface x having a space-like axis has zero mean curvature.
Proof.We use 4K 1 G = Mx, and then obtain the following equations: where M is the 5 × 5 matrix, Φ = 4K 1 W −1/2 .Differentiating above ODEs twice with respect to θ 1 , we obtain the following: Therefore, the following relation occurs: where f = 0, i = 1, . . ., 5. Considering that the functions sin and cos are linearly independent on θ 1 , all the components of the matrix M are 0. Since Φ = 4K 1 W −1/2 , then K 1 = 0.This means hypersurface x determined by Equation ( 5) is a 1-minimal (from Definition 7)  generalized helical hypersurface with a space-like axis.
Finally, we present the following examples for all findings in this work.Firstly, we consider the pseudo-hypersphere having a space-like axis in the following examination.
Example 1.In E 5  1 , by taking ϕ(r) = cosh r = C r , f (r) = sinh r = S r in the parametric curve γ determined by Equation (4), we state the following pseudo-rotational surface, i.e., pseudo- hypersphere having a space-like axis x = R.γ t : x = x(r, θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 ) = (C r , S r S 3 , S r S 2 C 3 , S r S 1 C 2 C 3 , S r C 1 C 2 C 3 ), where a = b = c = 0. Therefore, we obtain the following differential geometric objects of the pseudo-hypersphere having a space-like axis in five-dimensional Minkowski space: where I 4 is the identity matrix of order 4, diag means diagonal parts of the matrix, and j = 0, 1, . . ., 4. We check that the pseudo-hypersphere having a space-like axis supplies the relation given by Equation (10).
Secondly, we consider the rational pseudo-rotational surface having a space-like axis in the following examination.
Example 2. Substituting the rational functions ϕ(r) = r 2 +1 r 2 −1 = C r , f (r) = 2r r 2 −1 = S r , r = ±1, into the parametric curve γ described by Equation (4), we then construct the following rational pseudo-rotational hypersurface having a space-like axis: where I 4 is the identity matrix of order 4, diag means diagonal parts of the matrix, and j = 0, 1, . . ., 4. Here, the rational pseudo-hypersphere having a space-like axis holds the relation determined by Equation (10).
