Associated curves of a Frenet curve in the dual Lorentzian space

OpenAlex İngilizce

In this work, we firstly introduce notions of principal directed curves and principal donor curves which are associated curves of a Frenet curve in the dual Lorentzian space D 3 1 D13 . We give some relations between the curvature and the torsion of a dual principal directed curve and the curvature and the torsion of a dual principal donor curve. We show that the dual principal directed curve of a dual general helix is a plane curve and obtain the equation of dual general helix by using position vector of plane curve. Then we show that the principal donor curve of a circle in $\mathbb{D}^{2}$ or a hyperbola in $\mathbb{D}_{1}^{2}$ and the principal directed curve of a slant helix in $\mathbb{D}_{1}^{3}$ are a helix and general helix, respectively. We explain with an example for the second case. Finally, according to causal character of the principal donor curve of principal directed rectifying curve in $\mathbb{D}_{1}^{3}$, we show this curve to correspond to any timelike or spacelike ruled surface in Minkowski 3−space R 3 1 R13 .
