Classification of Codazzi and Note on Minimal Hypersurfaces in $Nil^{4}$

Classification of Codazzi and Note on Minimal Hypersurfaces in $Nil^{4}$

In this paper, we give a classification of Codazzi hypersurfaces in a Lie group $(Nil^{4},\widetilde g)$. We also give a characterization of a class of minimal hypersurfaces in $(Nil^{4},\widetilde g)$ with an example of a minimal surface in this class.
