Abstract
We begin by pointing out two subtleties in the global properties of hypersurfaces in Minkowski space which inherit a uniformly degenerate metric (i.e., the existence of global space-like sections and the notion of an icon; see Appendices 1 and 2). We then construct a Gauss map for such hypersurfaces and an intrinsic invariant. This leads us to results concerning light-like hypersurfaces which parallel known results concerning surfaces in Euclidean space.
