On any space-like W-surface in the three-dimensional Minkowski space we introduce locally natural principal parameters and prove that such a surface is determined uniquely up to motion by a special invariant function, which satisfies a…

We present a novel, deterministic, and efficient method to detect whether a given rational space curve is symmetric. By using well-known differential invariants of space curves, namely the curvature and torsion, the method is significantly…

In this paper, we give definitions and characterizations of normal and spherical curves in the dual space. We show that normal curves are also spherical curves in D^3.

Let X be a (possibly nodal) K-trivial threefold moving in a fixed ambient space P. Suppose X contains a continuous family of curves, all of whose members satisfy certain unobstructedness conditions in P. A formula is given for computing the…

In this paper, we give the generalization of the criterion for a 3-space curve to be closed given by [3] to an n-space curve in Minkowski space-time E_v^n. Furthermore, we apply this criterion for a curve lying on an oriented surface in the…

We prove that, in Minkowski space, if a spacelike, $(n-1)$-convex hypersurface $M$ with constant $\sigma_{n-1}$ curvature has bounded principal curvatures, then $M$ is convex. Moreover, if $M$ is not strictly convex, after an…

We use the isotropic projection of Laguerre geometry in order to establish a correspondence between plane curves and null curves in the Minkowski $3$-space. We describe the geometry of null curves (Cartan frame, pseudo-arc parameter,…

We introduce circular evolutes and involutes of framed curves in the Euclidean space. Circular evolutes of framed curves stem from the curvature circles of Bishop directions and singular value sets of normal surfaces of Bishop directions.…

In this paper, we construct rotating frames for curves, including plane curves, space curves and curves on surfaces. Hence, the behaviour of an arbitrary moving point on a curve can be seen as the composite of linear motion and rotation.…

This note is about invariants of moduli spaces of curves. It includes their intersection theory and cohomology. Our main focus in on the distinguished piece containing the so called tautological classes. These are the most natural classes…

We consider convex, spacelike hypersurfaces with boundaries on some hyperboloid (or lightcone) in the Minkowski space. If the hypersurface has constant higher order mean curvature, and the angle between the normal vectors of the…

Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are the major tool for determining the distribution of mass in spiral galaxies. They provide fundamental information for understanding the dynamics, evolution and formation of spiral galaxies. We describe…

We introduce surface Minkowski tensors to characterize rotational symmetries of shapes embedded in curved surfaces. The definition is based on a modified vector transport of the shapes boundary co-normal into a reference point which…

We describe the curves of constant (geodesic) curvature and torsion in the three-dimensional round sphere. These curves are the trajectory of a point whose motion is the superposition of two circular motions in orthogonal planes. The global…

The manifold $\mathcal{M}$ of star-shaped curves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is considered via the theory of connections on vector bundles, and cyclic $\mathcal{D}$-modules. The appropriate notion of an "integral curve" (i.e. certain admissible…

It is shown that causal automorphisms on two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime can be characterized by the invariance of the wave equations.

We prove existence in the Minkowski space of entire spacelike hypersurfaces with constant negative scalar curvature and given set of lightlike directions at infinity; we also construct the entire scalar curvature flow with prescribed set of…

We obtain the bifurcation of some special curves on generic 1-parameter families of surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space. The curves treated here are the locus of points where the induced pseudo metric is degenerate, the discriminant of the…

A differentiable curve y = y(x) is determined by its tangent lines and is said to be the envelope of its tangent lines. The coefficients of the curve's tangent lines form a curve in another space, called the dual space. There is a…

The orthogonal trajectories of the first tangents of the curve are called the involutes of $x$. The hyperspheres which have higher order contact with a curve $x$ are known osculating hyperspheres of $x$. The centers of osculating…
