A generalisation of g-rectifying and g-normal curves in Lorentzian n-space
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce and analyze rectifying curves (spacelike and null curves) and normal curves in Lorentzian -space, building upon the established notion of rectifying curves and normal curve, respectively. Our generalization extends this definition by considering an position vector field, , where is an integrable function in the arc-length parameter . An -rectifying curves(or normal curves) are then defined as an arc-length parametrized curve in Lorentzian space such that its -position vector consistently lies within its rectifying space(or normal space). The primary objective of this work is to provide a comprehensive characterization and classification of these -rectifying curves and normal curves, thereby expanding the geometric understanding of curves in Lorentzian -spaces.
