Nullcone Fronts of Spacelike Framed Curves in Minkowski 3-Space

The investigation of objects in Minkowski space is of great significance, especially for those objects with mathematical and physical backgrounds. In this paper, we study nullcone fronts, which are formed by the light rays emitted from points on a spacelike curve. However, if the spacelike curve is singular, then we cannot use the usual tools and methods to study related issues. To solve these problems, we show the definition of spacelike framed curves in Minkowski 3-space, whose original curves may contain singularities. Then, the singularities of the nullcone fronts are characterized by using framed curvatures of spacelike framed curves. Finally, we exhibit some examples to illustrate our results.

K-type slant helices on spacelike and timelike surfaces

We have derived a necessary and sufficient condition for a non-null normal spacelike curve lying in a spacelike or a timelike surface M ⊂ E13, so that the curve becomes a K-type spacelike slant helix with K ∈ {1,2,3}. We have used Darboux frame to define necessary and sufficient conditions. An example is given for a 1-type spacelike slant helix having a spacelike normal and a timelike binormal.

Spacelike Surfaces with a Common Line of Curvature in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-Space

This paper aims to study spacelike surfaces from a given spacelike curve in Minkowski 3–space. Also, we investigate the necessary and sufficient conditions for the given space-like curve to be the line of curvature on the space-like surface. Depending on the causal character of the curve, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the given space-like curve to satisfy the line of curvature and the geodesic (resp. asymptotic) requirements are also analyzed. Furthermore, we give with illustration some computational examples in support of our main results.

Geometric Properties of Special Spacelike Curves in Three-Dimension Minkowski Space-Time

In this paper, we introduce a special spacelike Smarandache curves  reference to the Bishop frame of a regular spacelike curve  in Minkowski 3-space . From that point, we investigate the Frenet invariants of a special case in  and we obtain some properties of these curves when the base curve  is contained in a plane. Lastly, we shall give two examples to illustrate these curves.

The slant helices according to N-Bishop frame of the spacelike curve with spacelike principal normal in Minkowski 3-space

If the principal normal vector field of a curve makes a constant angle with constant direction, this curve is called as slant helix. In this paper, a slant helix is defined according to N-Bishop frame of the spacelike curve with a spacelike principal normal. Some characterizations of the slant helices are obtained according to spacelike curve N-Bishop frame with a spacelike principal normal, benefiting from the definition of the slant helices.

Geometric Characterizations of Canal Surfaces in Minkowski 3-Space II

Canal surfaces are defined and divided into nine types in Minkowski 3-space E 1 3 , which are obtained as the envelope of a family of pseudospheres S 1 2 , pseudohyperbolic spheres H 0 2 , or lightlike cones Q 2 , whose centers lie on a space curve (resp. spacelike curve, timelike curve, or null curve). This paper focuses on canal surfaces foliated by pseudohyperbolic spheres H 0 2 along three kinds of space curves in E 1 3 . The geometric properties of such surfaces are presented by classifying the linear Weingarten canal surfaces, especially the relationship between the Gaussian curvature and the mean curvature of canal surfaces. Last but not least, two examples are shown to illustrate the construction of such surfaces.

N-Bishop Darboux vector of the spacelike curve with spacelike binormal

In this article, the N-Bishop frame in Minkowski space is investigated for spacelike curves with a spacelike binormial. Some features of the normal expansion are proven via for the spacelike curve. Then, a new Darboux frame called by the N-Bishop Darboux frame is introduced at first time. Furthermore, some geometrical properties of the N-Bishop Darboux frame are proven. As a result, the N-Bishop Darboux axis and momentum rotation vector are calculated.

On k-type spacelike slant helices lying on lightlike surfaces

In this paper, we define k-type spacelike slant helices lying on a lightlike surface in Minkowski space E31 according to their Darboux frame for k ? {0,1,2}. We obtain the necessary and the sufficient conditions for spacelike curves with non-null and null principal normal lying on lightlike surface to be the k-type spacelike slant helices in terms of their geodesic curvature, normal curvature and geodesic torsion. Additionally, we determine their axes and show that the Darboux frame of a spacelike curve lying on a lightlike surface coincides with its Bishop frame if and only if it has zero geodesic torsion. Finally, we give some examples.
