Slant and Legendre curves in Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu geometry

Constantin Călin, Mircea Crasmareanu (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study Legendre and slant curves for Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu metrics. These curves are characterized through the scalar product between the normal at the curve and the vertical vector field and in the helix case they have a proper (non-harmonic) mean curvature vector field. The general expression of the curvature and torsion of these curves and the associated Lancret invariant (for the slant case) are computed as well as the corresponding variant for some particular cases. The slant (particularly...

Some remarks on duality in S 3

In this paper we review some of the concepts and results of V. I. Arnol’d [1] for curves in S 2 and extend them to curves and surfaces in S 3 .

Space-like Weingarten surfaces in the three-dimensional Minkowski space and their natural partial differential equations

Georgi Ganchev, Vesselka Mihova (2013)

Open Mathematics

On any space-like Weingarten 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 natural non-linear partial differential equation. This result can be interpreted as a solution to the Lund-Regge reduction problem for space-like Weingarten surfaces in Minkowski space. We apply this theory to linear fractional space-like Weingarten surfaces...
