Abstract :In this paper we study hypersurfaces with the mean curvature function H satisfying $\langle \nabla H, \nabla H\rangle $ in a Minkowski space of arbitrary dimen- sion. First, we obtain some conditions satised by connection forms of biconservative hypersurfaces with the mean curvature function whose gradient is light-like. Then, we use these results to get a classication of biharmonic hypersurfaces. In particular, we prove that if a hypersurface is biharmonic, then it must have at least 6 distinct principal curvatures under the hypothesis of having mean curvature function satisfying the condition above.Keywords : biharmonic submanifolds, Lorentzian hypersurfaces, biconservative hypersurfaces, finite type submanifolds
