Helicoidal surfaces in Minkowski space with constant mean curvature and constant Gauss curvature

Rafael LópezEsma Demir — 2014

Open Mathematics

We classify all helicoidal non-degenerate surfaces in Minkowski space with constant mean curvature whose generating curve is a the graph of a polynomial or a Lorentzian circle. In the first case, we prove that the degree of the polynomial is 0 or 1 and that the surface is ruled. If the generating curve is a Lorentzian circle, we prove that the only possibility is that the axis is spacelike and the center of the circle lies on the axis.

Timelike B 2 -slant helices in Minkowski space E 1 4

Ahmad T. AliRafael López — 2010

Archivum Mathematicum

We consider a unit speed timelike curve α in Minkowski 4-space 𝐄 1 4 and denote the Frenet frame of α by { 𝐓 , 𝐍 , 𝐁 1 , 𝐁 2 } . We say that α is a generalized helix if one of the unit vector fields of the Frenet frame has constant scalar product with a fixed direction U of 𝐄 1 4 . In this work we study those helices where the function 𝐁 2 , U is constant and we give different characterizations of such curves.
