Extract

This paper is a continuation of (8), and is concerned with geometrical properties of special null hypersurfaces. In particular, on a one-parameter family of null hypersurfaces in four-dimensional Lorentzian manifold V4, we consider the relation between their normal and the Debever vectors, especially repeated ones. Throughout this paper, the same notations as those in (8) are used.
