We introduce two types of mappings that preserve nonnull helices in Minkowski spaces. The first type constructs helices in the [Formula: see text]-dimensional Minkowski space from helices in the same Minkowski space. The second type constructs helices in the [Formula: see text]-dimensional Minkowski space from helices in the [Formula: see text]-dimensional Minkowski space. Furthermore, we study invariants of these mappings and present examples.

Nonlinear equations of p-branes in D = (2p + 1)-dimensional Minkowski space are discussed. Presented are new exact solutions for a set of spinning p-branes with the Abelian symmetries U(1) × U(1) × ⋯ ×U(1) of their shapes.

We obtained a new representation for timelike Bertrand curves and their Bertrand mate in 3-dimensional Minkowski space. By using this representation, we expressed new representations of spherical indicatricies of Bertrand curves and computed their curvatures and torsions. Furthermore in case the indicatricies of a Bertrand curve are slant helices, we investigated some new characteristic features of these curves.

We study the free boundary problem for the ‘hard phase’ material introduced by Christodoulou in (Christodoulou 1995 Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 130 , 343–400), both for rods in (1 + 1)-dimensional Minkowski space–time and for spherically symmetric balls in (3 + 1)-dimensional Minkowski space–time. Unlike Christodoulou, we do not consider a ‘soft phase’, and so we regard this material as an elastic medium, capable of both compression and stretching. We prove that shocks must be null hypersurfaces, and derive the conditions to be satisfied at a free boundary. We solve the equations of motion of the rods explicitly, and we prove existence of solutions to the equations of motion of the spherically symmetric balls for an arbitrarily long (but finite) time, given initial conditions sufficiently close to those for the relaxed ball at rest. In both cases we find that the solutions contain shocks if and only if the pressure or its time derivative do not vanish at the free boundary initially. These shocks interact with the free boundary, causing it to lose regularity.

We show that any two disjoint crooked planes in [Formula: see text] are leaves of a crooked foliation. This answers a question asked by Charette and Kim [V. Charette and Y. Kim, Foliations of Minkowski [Formula: see text] spacetime by crooked planes, Int. J. Math. 25(9) (2014) 1450088.].
