Abstract

In this paper we characterize and classify surfaces in $\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ which have a canonical principal direction. Here $\mathbb{H}^2$ denotes the hyperbolic plane. We study some geometric properties such as minimality and flatness. Several examples are given to complete the study.
