Let $\gamma: I \rightarrow \mathbb R^n$ be a parametric curve of class $C^{n+1}$, regular of order $n$. The Frenet-Serret apparatus of $\gamma$ at $\gamma(t)$ consists of a frame $e_1(t), \dots , e_n(t)$ and generalized curvature values…

We consider a unit speed curve $\alpha$ in Euclidean four-dimensional space $E^4$ and denote the Frenet frame by $\{T,N,B_1,B_2\}$. We say that $\alpha$ is a slant helix if its principal normal vector $N$ makes a constant angle with a fixed…

A curve is rectifying if it lies on a moving hyperplane orthogonal to its curvature vector. In this work, we extend the main result of [Chen 2017, Tamkang J. Math. 48, 209] to any space dimension: we prove that rectifying curves are…

Let $M_c$ be a $2$-dimensional space form of constant curvature $c=-1,0,1$ and $\gamma$ a smooth, closed, convex curve in $M_c$. We explicitly parametrize the \textit{$\alpha$-evolutoid} of $\gamma$, i.e.\ the closed curve $\gamma_\alpha$…

Our aim is to study invariant hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, whose mean curvature is given as a linear function in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ depending on its Gauss map. These hypersurfaces are closely…
