In recent years, the study of spacelike hypersurfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space has been of increasing interest from both the physical and mathematical aspects. From a physical point of view, such interest is motivated by their role in the study of different problems in general relativity. From a mathematical point of view, spacelike hypersurfaces are also interesting by the fact that they exhibit nice Bernstein-type properties.Presently, the study of spacelike hypersurfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space has obtained great results, their interior structure and character is increasingly clear. In this paper, we deal with a class of spacelike hypersurfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space, they are similar to the Wulff shape in Euclidean space.Let Ln+1 denote the (n + 1)-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space, let Hn denote the n-dimensional hyperbolic space.We consider the map:where gradF denotes the gradient of F on Hn.We derive our main results for the spacelike hypersurface as an application of the moving-frame method and some obtained results on the Wulff shape.In the first chapter, we study the properties of the spacelike hypersurface and give a characterization of this kind of hypersurface by calculation.In the second chapter, we get an integral formula on the spacelike hypersurfaces from the divergence theorem, then we introduce an important operater Tr and generalizeit to higher order forms.
