Abstract

In this article, we introduce the notion of pointwise $1$-type Gauss map of the first and second kinds and study surfaces of revolution with such Gauss map. Our main results state that surfaces of revolution with pointwise $1$-type Gauss map of the first kind coincide with surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature; and the right cones are the only rational surfaces of revolution with pointwise $1$-type Gauss map of the second kind.

Keywords: surfaces of revolution, circular cylinder, right cone, pointwise $1$-type Gauss map
