This article presents a new way to classify geodesics on a cone in the Euclidean 3-space. This proof is obtained considering our main result, which establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions that a curve in space must satisfy: to…
In this note we derive a new Minkowski-type inequality for closed convex surfaces in the hyperbolic 3-space. The inequality is obtained by explicitly computing the area of the family of surfaces obtained from the normal flow and then…
We present a global metric describing closed timelike curves embedded in Minkowski spacetime. Physically, the metric represents an Alcubierre warp drive on a rotating platform. The physical realizability of such a metric is uncertain due to…
We consider a curve $\alpha=\alpha(s)$ in Minkowski 3-space $E_1^3$ and denote by $\{T,N,B}$ the Frenet frame of $\alpha$. We say that $\alpha$ is a slant helix if there exists a fixed direction $U$ of $E_1^3$ such that the function…

A hypersurface in a Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{n+1}$ is said to be a generalized constant ratio (GCR) hypersurface if the tangential part of its position vector is one of its principle directions. In this work, we move the study of…

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…
