Study on null helices in semi-Riemannian manifolds with special submanifolds.

In this study, we give definitions and characterizations of eikonal slant helices, eikonal Darboux helices and non-normed eikonal Darboux helices in 3-dimensional pseudo- Riemannian manifold M . We show that every eikonal slant helix is also an eikonal Darboux helix for timelike and spacelike curves. Furthermore, we ob…

In this paper, we define the notion of eikonal helix and eikonal slant helix for null curves in the 4-dimensional Lorentzian manifold M 1 4 and give a characterization for the null curve to be the null eikonal helix. Moreover, we indicate an important relation between the null eikonal helix and null eikonal slant helix…

We introduce the notion of $k$-type slant helix in Minkowski space $\e_1^4$. For partially null and pseudo null curves in $\e_1^4$, we express some characterizations in terms of their curvature and torsion functions.

In this study, we define a family of null curves in Minkowski 3-space and called null similar curves. We obtain some properties of these special curves. We show that two null curves are null similar curves if and only if these curves form a null Bertrand pair. Moreover, we obtain that the family of null geodesics and n…

The main topic of this paper is to show that in the 3-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, the torsion of a null curve is equal to the Schwarzian derivative of a certain function appearing in a description of the curve. As applications, we obtain descriptions of the slant helices, and null curves for which the torsion is o…

In this paper we study the non-geodesic non-null biharmonic curves in 3-dimensional hyperbolic Heisenberg group. We prove that all of the non-geodesic non-null biharmonic curves in 3-dimensional hyperbolic Heisenberg group are helices. Moreover, we obtain explicit parametric equations for non-geodesic non-null biharmon…

In this paper, we investigate the tangent indicatrix of the curve C with constant curvature. Tangent indicatrix of the curve C is characterized with det(C^(3),C^(4),C^(5))=0 in Minkowski 3-space E13. Moreover, we study null slant helices using the determinant approach and give the following characterization: A curve C …

The study examines null curves in specific geometric manifolds and their properties.

We present the general theory of curves in conformal geometry using tractor calculus. This primarily involves a tractorial determination of distinguished parametrizations and relative and absolute conformal invariants of generic curves. The absolute conformal invariants are defined via a tractor analogue of the classic…

Building on previous results on the quadratic helicity in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) we investigate particular minimum helicity states. Those are eigenfunctions of the curl operator and are shown to constitute solutions of the quasi-stationary incompressible ideal MHD equations. We then show that these states have inde…

The helicity of a vector field is a measure of the average linking of pairs of integral curves of the field. Computed by a six-dimensional integral, it is widely useful in the physics of fluids. For a divergence-free field tangent to the boundary of a domain in 3-space, helicity is known to be invariant under volume-pr…

The present paper attempts to show an alternative approach with regards to rational Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) curves and especially more natural approach for rational PH helices (i.e. rational helices). It exploits geometric features of rational helices to obtain a simpler construction of these curves and apply this t…

In this paper, we define some new associated curves as integral curves of a vector field generated by Frenet vectors of tangent indicatrix of a curve in Euclidean 3-space. We give some relationships between curvatures of these curves. By using these associated curves, we give some methods to construct helices and slant…

A new algebraic method for computing helicity is developed, by discovering a relationship between helicity of fluid mechanics and algebraic polynomial invariants of knot theory. We have constructed a topological invariant $t^{H\left(\mathcal{L}\right)}$ for a link $\mathcal{L}$ of knots, where $H$ is the helicity of a …

We prove that any regular Casimir in 3D magnetohydrodynamics is a function of the magnetic helicity and cross-helicity. In other words, these two helicities are the only independent regular integral invariants of the coadjoint action of the MHD group $\text{SDiff}(M)\ltimes\mathfrak X^*(M)$, which is the semidirect pro…

We obtain explicit, isometry-invariant integral formulas for twisting, writhing and helicity, and prove the theorem LINK = TWIST + WRITHE on the 3-sphere and in hyperbolic 3-space. We then use these results to derive upper bounds for the helicity of vector fields and lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of the curl op…

A topologically minimal surface may be isotoped into a normal form with respect to a fixed triangulation. If the intersection with each tetrahedron is simply connected, then the pieces of this normal form are triangles, quadrilaterals, and helicoids. Helical pieces can have any number of positive or negative twists. We…

Helical ribbons arise in many biological and engineered systems, often driven by anisotropic surface stress, residual strain, and geometric or elastic mismatch between layers of a laminated composite. A full mathematical analysis is developed to analytically predict the equilibrium deformed helical shape of an initiall…

We prove that any regular integral invariant of volume-preserving transformations is equivalent to the helicity. Specifically, given a functional $\mathcal I$ defined on exact divergence-free vector fields of class $C^1$ on a compact 3-manifold that is associated with a well-behaved integral kernel, we prove that $\mat…

Also, we determine the parametric representation of the position vector $ψ=\Big(ψ_1,ψ_2,ψ_3\Big)$ of general helices from the intrinsic equations $κ=κ(s)$ and $τ=τ(s)$ where $κ$ and $τ$ are th…
