Consider the energy $E_\alpha[\Sigma]=\int_\Sigma |p|^\alpha\, d\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a surface in Euclidean space $\r^3$ and $\alpha\in\r$. We prove that planes and spheres are the only stationary surfaces for $E_\alpha$ with constant…
We characterize the biharmonic curves in the special linear group $SL(2,R)$. In particular, we show that all proper biharmonic curves in $SL(2,R)$are helices and we give their explicit parametrizations as curves in the pseudo-Euclidean…

A focal representation of a generic regular curve {\gamma} in E^{m+1} consists of the centers of the osculating hyperplanes. A k-slant helix {\gamma} in E^{m+1} is a (generic) regular curve whose unit normal vector V_{k} makes a constant…

We present a cyclic symmetric space-time, admitting closed time-like curves (CTCs) which appear after a certain instant of time, i. e., a time-machine space-time. These closed time-like curves evolve from an initial spacelike hypersurface…
General $(\alpha, \beta)$ norms are an important class of Minkowski norms which contains the original $(\alpha, \beta)$ norms. In this note, by studying the behavior of the Darboux curves of the indicatrix, we give a characterization of…

The four dimensional spacetime continuum, as first conceived by Minkowski, has become the dominant framework within which to describe physical laws. In this paper, we show how this four-dimensional structure is a natural property of…
We propose the model of massive spinning particle traveling in four-dimensional Minkowski space. The equations of motion of the particle follow from the fact that all the classical paths of the particle lie on a cylinder whose position in…
We consider a special class of spacelike surfaces in the Minkowski 4-space which are one-parameter systems of meridians of the rotational hypersurface with timelike or spacelike axis. We call these surfaces meridian surfaces of elliptic or…
We study the geometry of curves in the Minkowski space and in the de Sitter space, specially at points where the tangent direction is lightlike (i.e. has length zero) called lightlike points of the curve. We define the focal sets of these…
The concept of time-space defined in an earlier paper of the author is a certain generalization of the so-called space-time. In this paper we introduce the concept of time-space manifolds. In the homogeneous case, a time-space manifold is a…
