We will discuss riggings on a 1−lightlike submanifold, which have many of the good properties of the Gauss map of non degenerate hypersurfaces. We will also show that for the case of the (n + 2)−dimensional Minskowski space R_1^n+2, the only null Monge hypersurfaces (i.e. graph of a function) x : Σ → R_1^n+2 satisfying the eigenvalue equation ∆x = λx are null hyperplanes. On our way to prove this result, we will show that a smooth function f : R^n+1 ⊃ D → R which is harmonic and whose gradient is of constant norm, is affine.
