We study Ribaucour transformations on nondegenerate local isometric immersions of Lorentzian space forms into Lorentzian space forms with the same sectional curvatures which have flat normal bundles. They can be associated to dressing actions on the solution space of Lorentzian Grassmannian systems.

We study Ribaucour transformations on nondegenerate local isometric immersions of Riemannian space forms into Lorentzian space forms with flat normal bundles. They can be explained by dressing actions on the solution space of Lorentzian Grassmannian systems.

In this article, we find the necessary and sufficient condition for a proper biharmonic Frenet curve in the Lorentzian Sasakian space forms 𝓜³₁(H) except the case constant curvature -1. Next, we find that for a slant curve in a 3-dimensional Sasakian Lorentzian manifold, its ratio of "geodesic curvature" and "geodesic torsion -1" is a constant. We show that a proper biharmonic Frenet curve is a slant pseudo-helix with 𝜅² - 𝜏² = -1 + 𝜀₁(H + 1)𝜂(B)² in the Lorentzian Sasakian space forms x1D4DC³₁(H) except the case constant curvature -1. As example, we classify proper biharmonic Frenet curves in 3-dimensional Lorentzian Heisenberg space, that is a slant pseudo-helix.

In this paper, we study the geometry of lightlike hypersurfaces of a semi-Riemannian manifold. We prove a classification theorem for Einstein lightlike hypersurfaces M of a Lorentzian space form subject such that the second fundamental forms of M and its screen distribution S(TM) are conformally related by some non-vanishing smooth function.

We determine maximal space-like hypersurfaces which are the images of subbundles of the normal bundle of m-dimensional totally geodesic space-like submanifolds of an (m + 2)-dimensional Lorentzian space form $\tilde{M}_1^{m+2}$(c) under the normal exponential map. Then we construct examples of maximal space-like hypersurfaces of $\tilde{M}_1^{m+2}$(c).

In this paper, we prove a classification theorem for Einstein lightlike hypersurfaces M of a Lorentzian space form ($\bar{M}$(c), $\bar{g}$) with a semi-symmetric metric connection subject such that the second fundamental forms of M and its screen distribution S(TM) are conformally related by some non-zero constant.

We define two types of null hypersurfaces as; isoparametric and quasi isoparametric null hypersurfaces of Lorentzian space forms, based on the two shape operators associated with a null hypersurface. We prove that; on any screen conformal isoparametric null hypersurface, the screen geodesics lie on circles in the ambient space. Furthermore, we prove that the screen distributions of isoparametric (or quasi isoparametric) null hypersurfaces with at most two principal curvatures are generally Riemannian products. Several examples are also given to illustrate the main concepts.

Let $\mathbb{M}^3_q(c)$ denote the 3-dimensional space form of index $q=0,1$, and constant curvature $c{\neq}0$. A curve ${\alpha}$ immersed in $\mathbb{M}^3_q(c)$ is said to be a Bertrand curve if there exists another curve ${\beta}$ and a one-to-one correspondence between ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ such that both curves have common principal normal geodesics at corresponding points. We obtain characterizations for both the cases of non-null curves and null curves. For non-null curves our theorem formally agrees with the classical one: non-null Bertrand curves in $\mathbb{M}^3_q(c)$ correspond with curves for which there exist two constants ${\lambda}{\neq}0$ and ${\mu}$ such that ${\lambda}{\kappa}+{\mu}{\tau}=1$, where ${\kappa}$ and ${\tau}$ stand for the curvature and torsion of the curve. As a consequence, non-null helices in $\mathbb{M}^3_q(c)$ are the only twisted curves in $\mathbb{M}^3_q(c)$ having infinite non-null Bertrand conjugate curves. In the case of null curves in the 3-dimensional Lorentzian space forms, we show that a null curve is a Bertrand curve if and only if it has non-zero constant second Frenet curvature. In the particular case where null curves are parametrized by the pseudo-arc length parameter, null helices are the only null Bertrand curves.

In this paper we study the geometry of codimension 2 screen conformal Einstein half lightiike submanifolds M of a semi-Riemannian manifold $(\={M}(c),\={g})$ of constant curvature c, with a Killing co-screen distribution on $\={M}$. The main result is a classification theorem for screen homothetic Einstein half lightlike submanifold of Lorentzian space forms.
