    For a compact spacelike constant mean curvature surface with nonempty boundary in the three-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space, we introduce a rotation index of the lines of curvature at the boundary umbilic point, which was developed by Choe \cite{Choe}. Using the concept of the rotation index at the interior and boundary umbilic points and applying the Poincar\'{e}-Hopf index formula, we prove that a compact immersed spacelike disk type capillary surface with less than 44 vertices in a domain of L3\Bbb L^3 bounded by (spacelike or timelike) totally umbilic surfaces is part of a (spacelike) plane or a hyperbolic plane. Moreover we prove that the only immersed spacelike disk type capillary surface inside de Sitter surface in L3\Bbb L^3 is part of (spacelike) plane or a hyperbolic plane

    Rigidity results for mean curvature flow graphical translators moving in non-graphical direction

    In this paper, we study the rigidity results of complete graphical translating hypersurfaces when the translating direction is not in the graphical direction. We proved that any entire graphical translating surface in the translating direction not parallel to the graphical one is flat if either the translating surface is mean convex or the entropy of the translating surface is smaller than 22. For higher dimensional case, we show that the same conclusion holds if the graphical translating hypersurface satisfies certain growth condition
