Abstract

The helicoidal surfaces with pointwise 1-type or harmonic gauss map in Euclidean 3-space are studied. The notion of pointwise 1- type Gauss map is a generalization of usual sense of 1-type Gauss map. In particular, we prove that an ordinary helicoid is the only genuine he- licoidal surface of polynomial kind with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the flrst kind and a right cone is the only rational helicoidal surface with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the second kind. Also, we give a charac- terization of rational helicoidal surface with harmonic or pointwise 1-type Gauss map.
