Abstract

In this paper, we consider two special families of ruled surfaces in a three-dimensional Walker manifold which look like the ruled surfaces in a three-dimensional semi-Euclidean space. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for such a surface to be pointwise 1-type Gauss map. We obtain also, by the use of the concept of pointwise 1-type Gauss map, a characterization theorem for ruled surfaces of constant mean curvature.
