Let $(M^m_t,g)$ be a semi-Riemannian manifold of dimension $m$ with a non-degenerate metric of \textit{index} $t$, $m\geq 2$, $1 \leq t \leq m-1$. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the existence of Frenet curves in $(M^m_t,g)$…

We deal with a notion of weak binormal and weak principal normal for non-smooth curves of the Euclidean space with finite total curvature and total absolute torsion. By means of piecewise linear methods, we first introduce the analogous…

Using a semi-symmetric metric connection, we construct Frenet frame and curvatures of curves in 3-dimensional manifolds and give examples of semi-symmetric Frenet curves in Euclidean, Sasakian and Kenmotsu manifolds.

The equivalence problem of curves with values in a Riemannian manifold, is solved. The domain of validity of Frenet's theorem is shown to be the spaces of constant curvature. For a general Riemannian manifold new invariants must thus be…

In this paper, the parallel transport frames over non-lightlike curves in Minkowski 3-space are introduced. Evolution equations of these frames with respect to arc length and time are calculated over the space of these curves. Then the…

This short note is a mostly expository article examining negatively curved three-manifolds. We look at some rigidity properties related to isometric embeddings into Minkowski space. We also review the Cross Curvature Flow (XCF) as a tool to…

We study a family of 3-dimensional Lorentz manifolds. Some members of the family are 0-curvature homogeneous, 1-affine curvature homogeneous, but not 1-curvature homogeneous. Some are 1-curvature homogeneous but not 2-curvature homogeneous.…

We study spacetime singularities in a general five-dimensional braneworld with curved branes satisfying four-dimensional maximal symmetry. The bulk is supported by an analog of perfect fluid with the time replaced by the extra coordinate.…

For an arbitrary nondegenerate curve in a pseudo-Riemann\-ian (including Riemannian) 2-manifold, we express the equi-affine curvature with the help of the Frenet (geodesic) curvature of this curve.

We generalize the Fenchel theorem for strong spacelike closed curves of index $1$ in the 3-dimensional Minkowski space, showing that the total curvature must be less than or equal to $2\pi$. Here strong spacelike means that the tangent…

In this paper, we investigate the differential geometry properties of curves of constant breadth according to Darboux frame in a given strict Walker 3-manifold. The considered curves are lying on a timelike surface in the Walker 3-manifold.

In this study, we introduce the natural mate and conjugate mate of a Frenet curve in a three dimensional Lie group $ \mathbb{G} $ with bi-invariant metric. Also, we give some relationships between a Frenet curve and its natural mate or its…

Riemann zero mean curvature examples in the Lorentz-Minkowski space are surfaces with zero mean curvature foliated by circles contained in parallel planes. In contrast to the Euclidean case, this family of surfaces presents new and rich…

For k at least 2, we exhibit complete k-curvature homogeneous neutral signature pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not locally affine homogeneous (and hence not locally homogeneous). The curvature tensor of these manifolds is modeled on…

In this paper we study slant null curves with respect to the original parameter on 3-dimensional normal almost contact B-metric manifolds with parallel Reeb vector field. We prove that for non-geodesic such curves there exists a unique…

In this paper, we give Smarandache curves according to the asymptotic orthonormal frame in null cone Q^2. By using cone frame formulas, we present some characterizations of Smarandache curves and calculate cone frenet invariants of these…
