Abstract.   In this note, we extend the notion of a Monge hypersurface from its roots in semi-Euclidean space to more general spaces. For the degenerate case, the geometry of these structures is studied using the Bejancu-Duggal method of screen distributions.  

Keywords:  lightlike geometry; Monge hypersurface; degenerate metric.
