ON CURVES AND TUBES IN $\mathbb{R}^n$

Differential Geometry 2020-11-23 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new explicit formula for the curvatures of a regular curve with an arbitrary parameter in the Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n, n2n\geq 2, expressed only in terms of its derivatives. We introduce also the notion of tube with arbitrary cross sections around a curve for which we calculate the volume and give a generalization for the second theorem of Pappus. The first theorem of Pappus is obtained for sphere tubes in arbitrary dimension.
