In this paper, we study null helices, null slant helices and Cartan slant helices in $\mathb{E}^3_1$. Using some associated curves, we characterize the null helices and the Cartan slant helices and construct them. Also, we study a space-like curve with the principal normal vector field which is a degenerate plane curve.

In this paper, we study the rectifying curves in multiplicative Euclidean space of dimension 3, i.e., those curves for which the position vector always lies in its rectifying plane. Since the definition of rectifying curve is affine and not metric, we are directly able to perform multiplicative differential-geometric concepts to investigate such curves. By several characterizations, we completely classify the multiplicative rectifying curves by means of the multiplicative spherical curves.

The notion of rectifying curve in the Euclidean space is introduced by Chen as a curve whose position vector always lies in its rectifying plane spanned by the tangent and the binormal vector field t and $n_2$ of the curve, [1]. In this study, we have obtained some characterizations of semi-real spatial quaternionic rectifying curves in $\mathbb{R}^3_1$. Moreover, by the aid of these characterizations, we have investigated semi real quaternionic rectifying curves in semi-quaternionic space $\mathbb{Q}_v$.

The Iwasawa decomposition NAK of the Lie group G = SO₀(2, 1) with a left invariant metric produces Riemannian submersions G → N\G, G → A\G, G → K\G, and G → NA\G. For each of these, we calculate the curvature of the base space and the lifting of a simple closed curve to the total space G. Especially in the first case, the base space has a constant curvature 0; the holonomy displacement along a (null-homotopic) simple closed curve in the base space is determined only by the Euclidean area of the region surrounded by the curve.

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 extend the familiar limit curve theorem in [2] to a situation where each causal curve lies in a sequence of compact interpolating spacetimes converging to a limit Lorentz space in the sense of Lorentzian Gromov-Hausdorff distance.

In this paper, we prove that there are no pseudo null Bertrand curve with curvature functions $k_1(s)=1$, $k_2(s){\neq}0$ and $k_3(s)$ other than itself in Minkowski spacetime ${\mathbb{E}}_1^4$ and by using the similar idea of Matsuda and Yorozu [13], we define a new kind of Bertrand curve and called it pseudo null (1,3)-Bertrand curve. Also we give some characterizations and an example of pseudo null (1,3)-Bertrand curves in Minkowski spacetime.

In the present paper, we consider a position vector of an arbitrary curve in the three-dimensional Galilean space $G_3$. Furthermore, we give some conditions on the curvatures of this arbitrary curve to study special curves and their Smarandache curves. Finally, in the light of this study, some related examples of these curves are provided and plotted.

In this paper, we show that proper biharmonic spacelike curve ${\gamma}$ in Lorentzian Heisenberg space (${\mathbb{H}}_3$, g) is pseudo-helix with ${\kappa}^2-{\tau}^2=-1+4{\eta}(B)^2$. Moreover, ${\gamma}$ has the spacelike normal vector field and is a slant curve. Finally, we find the parametric equations of them.
