Abstract

We define a Lie bracket on a certain set of local vector fields along a null curve in a 4-dimensional semi-Riemannian space form. This Lie bracket will be employed to study integrability properties of evolution equations for null curves in a pseudo-Euclidean space. In particular, a geometric recursion operator generating infinite many local symmetries for the null localized induction equation is provided.
