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…
We introduce the notion of $k$-type slant helix in Minkowski space $\e_1^4$. For partially null and pseudo null curves in $\e_1^4$, we express some characterizations in terms of their curvature and torsion functions.
Mannheim partner curves are studied by Liu and Wang [1,2]. Orbay and others extended the theory of the Mannheim curves to the ruled surface in Euclidean 3-space[3]. We obtain the relationships between the curvatures and the torsions of the…
A magnetic field is defined by the property that its divergence is zero in a three dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold. Each magnetic field generates a magnetic flow whose trajectories are curves called as magnetic curves. In this…
In this paper we consider the idea of Mannheim partner curves for curves lying on surfaces and by considering the Darboux frames of them we define these curves as Mannheim partner D-curves and give the characterizations for these curves. We…
We consider mixed types of not only regular curves but also curves with singular points in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space. In order to consider mixed type of curves with singular points, we consider the lightcone frame and lightcone framed…
We study the null curves and their motion in a $3$-dimensional flat space-time $M_{3}$. We show that when the motion of null curves forms two surfaces in $M_{3}$ the integrability conditions lead to the well-known AKNS hierarchy. In this…
In this study, the geometric properties of null helices on a totally umbilical submanifold within a three-dimensional semi-Riemannian manifold are investigated. The pseudo-Riemannian metric structure of semi-Riemannian manifolds and the…
In this paper, we define Mannheim partner curves in a three dimensional Lie group G with a bi-invariant metric. And then the main result in this paper is given as (Theorem 3.3): A curve {\alpha} with the Frenet apparatus…
We provide a unified description of Heinz-type mean curvature estimates under an assumption on the gradient bound for space-like graphs and time-like graphs in the Lorentz-Minkowski space. As a corollary, we give a unified vanishing theorem…
In this study, we define some new types of non-null ruled surfaces called slant ruled surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space E_1^3. We introduce some characterizations for a non-null ruled surface to be a slant ruled surface in E_1^3. Moreover,…
In this paper we study null Bertrand curves in $R_{1}^{4}$ under the assumption the curve has a Cartan frame. We show that if the derivative vectors of the null Cartan curve in $R_{1}^{4}$ is linearly independent, then this curve is not a…
In this paper by using left invariant Riemannian metrics on some 3-dimensional Lie groups we construct some complete non-Riemannian Berwald spaces of non-positive flag curvature and several families of geodesically complete locally…
We give conceptual proofs of some well known results concerning compact non-positively curved locally symmetric spaces. We discuss vanishing and non-vanishing of Pontrjagin numbers and Euler characteristics for these locally symmetric…
Space-like maximal surfaces and time-like minimal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski3-space are both characterized as zero mean curvature surfaces. We are interested in the case where the zero mean curvature surface changes type from space-like…
We study the conformal geometry of timelike curves in the (1+2)-Einstein universe, the conformal compactification of Minkowski 3-space defined as the quotient of the null cone of $\mathbb{R}^{2,3}$ by the action by positive scalar…
A twisted curve in Euclidean 3-space E^3 can be considered as a curve whose position vector can be written as linear combination of its Frenet vectors. In the present study we study the twisted curves of constant ratio in E^3 and…
We give a definition of generalized timelike Mannheim curve in Minkowski space-time $E_1^4$. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the generalized timelike Mannheim curve obtain. We show some characterizations of generalized Mannheim…
In this paper, we study inextensible flows of non-null curves in E^n,1. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for inextensible flow of nonnull curves in E^n,1.
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…
