Abstract :
In this paper lightlike ruled surfaces in ??3
1=(??3,-dx2+dy2+dz2) are studied with respect to whether
ruling curves are spacelike or null. It is seen that, in the first case the Gaussian curvature of the ruled surfaces
vanishes. In the second case the Gaussian curvature of the ruled surfaces are negative. In the second case
lightlike ruled surfaces are totally umbilical. Furthermore, lightlike surfaces of revolution are shown to be
only cones, and the second type lightlike ruled surface.
