Abstract
We study translation surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space ��3 and the Gauss map N with respect to the so-called Cheng-Yau operator ☐. As a result, we prove that the only translation surfaces with Gauss map N satisfying ☐N = AN for some 3 × 3 matrix A are the flat ones. We also show that the only translation surfaces with Gauss map N satisfying ☐N = AN for some nonzero 3 × 3 matrix A are the cylindrical surfaces.
