In this paper, it is proved that, no special timelike Frenet curve is a Bertrand curve in $\mathbb{E}_2^4$ and also, in $\mathbb{E}_ν^{n+1}$ $({n \ge 3})$, such that the notion of Bertrand curve is definite only in $\mathbb{E}_1^2$ and $\mathbb{E}_1^3$. Therefore, a generalization of timelike Bertrand curve is defined…

Because no closed timelike curve (CTC) on a Lorentzian manifold can be deformed to a point, any such manifold containing a CTC must have a topological feature, to be called a timelike wormhole, that prevents the CTC from being deformed to a point. If all wormholes have horizons, which typically seems to be the case in …

New proof of timelike minimal surfaces using split-harmonic maps.

A curve is rectifying if it lies on a moving hyperplane orthogonal to its curvature vector. In this work, we extend the main result of [Chen 2017, Tamkang J.
