Abstract

We study the Gauss map G of ruled surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^3$ with respect to the so called Cheng-Yau operator ${\Box}$ acting on the functions defined on the surfaces. As a result, we establish the classification theorem that the only ruled surfaces with Gauss map G satisfying ${\Box}G=AG$ for some $3{\times}3$ matrix A are the flat ones. Furthermore, we show that the only ruled surfaces with Gauss map G satisfying ${\Box}G=AG$ for some nonzero $3{\times}3$ matrix A are the cylindrical surfaces.
