Slant Curve in Lorentzian BCV Spaces

The aim of this study is to examine the slant curves in Lorentzian manifolds with BCV (Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu) metrics. A practical form of the directional derivative in the presence of the BCV metrics is presented. Moreover, some theorems for slant curves in Lorentzian BCV manifolds are proved.

Slant Curves and Contact Magnetic Curves in Sasakian Lorentzian 3-Manifolds

In this article, we define Lorentzian cross product in a three-dimensional almost contact Lorentzian manifold. Using a Lorentzian cross product, we prove that the ratio of κ and τ − 1 is constant along a Frenet slant curve in a Sasakian Lorentzian three-manifold. Moreover, we prove that γ is a slant curve if and only if M is Sasakian for a contact magnetic curve γ in contact Lorentzian three-manifold M. As an example, we find contact magnetic curves in Lorentzian Heisenberg three-space.

C-parallel and C-proper slant curves of S-manifolds

In the present paper, we define and study C-parallel and C-proper slant curves of S-manifolds. We prove that a slant curve in an S-manifold of order r ? 3, under certain conditions, is C-parallel or C-parallel in the normal bundle if and only if it is a non-Legendre slant helix or Legendre helix, respectively. Moreover, under certain conditions, we show that is C-proper or C-proper in the normal bundle if and only if it is a non-Legendre slant curve or Legendre curve, respectively. We also give two examples of such curves in R2m+s(-3s).

SLANT CURVES AND PARTICLES IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL WARPED PRODUCTS AND THEIR LANCRET INVARIANTS

Slant curves are introduced in three-dimensional warped products with Euclidean factors. These curves are characterised by the scalar product between the normal at the curve and the vertical vector field, and an important feature is that the case of constant Frenet curvatures implies a proper mean curvature vector field. A Lancret invariant is obtained and the Legendre curves are analysed as a particular case. An example of a slant curve is given for the exponential warping function; our example illustrates a proper (that is, not reducible to the two-dimensional) case of the Lancret theorem of three-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. We point out an eventuality relationship with the geometry of relativistic models.
