Timelike Quaternion Frame of a Non-lightlike Curve
نویسندگان
چکیده
A rotation matrix can be generated by a unit timelike quaternion in the three dimensional Minkowski space. In this paper, we correspond columns of this rotation matrix to Frenet vectors of a nonlightlike curve and we find a reformulation of Frenet’s formulas of nonlightlike curves in terms of the timelike quaternions in the Minkowski 3-space. Moreover, we do same things for the parallel transport frame. MSC 2000: 53B30, 53A04, 15A66

Normal Fermi-Walker Derivative in E_{1}^{3}
In this paper, firstly, in $E_1^3$, we defined normal Fermi-Walker derivative and applied for the adapted frame. Normal Fermi-Walker parallelism, normal non-rotating frame, and Darboux vector expressions of normal Fermi-Walker derivative by normal Fermi-Walker derivative are given for adapted frame. Being conditions of normal Fermi-Walker derivative and normal non-rotating frame are examined fo...
متن کاملFermat Principle in Finsler Spacetimes
It is shown that, on a manifold with a Finsler metric of Lorentzian signature, the lightlike geodesics satisfy the following variational principle. Among all lightlike curves from a point q (emission event) to a timelike curve γ (worldline of receiver), the lightlike geodesics make the arrival time stationary. Here “arrival time” refers to a parametrization of the timelike curve γ. This variati...
متن کاملA Method of the Determination of a Geodesic Curve on Timelike Ruled Surface with Spacelike Rulings
A curve which is called geodesic on a surface M in Lorentz 3-space is a special curve that its acceleration is everywhere normal to M. In this paper, we analyzed the non-linear differential equation to determine the geodesic curves on ruled surfaces which is obtained by a strictly connected spacelike straight line moving with Frenet’s frame along a timelike curve in . When we assume that curvat...
متن کاملMorse Theory of Causal Geodesics in a Stationary Spacetime via Morse Theory of Geodesics of a Finsler Metric
We show that the index of a lightlike geodesic in a conformally standard stationary spacetime (M0 × R, g) is equal to the index of its spatial projection as a geodesic of a Finsler metric F on M0 associated to (M0×R, g). Moreover we obtain the Morse relations of lightlike geodesics connecting a point p to a curve γ(s) = (q0, s) by using Morse theory on the Finsler manifold (M0, F ). To this end...
متن کاملNon-degenerate Surfaces of Revolution in Minkowski Space That Satisfy the Relation
In this work we study spacelike and timelike surfaces of revolution in Minkowski space E1 that satisfy the linear Weingarten relation aH+bK = c, where H and K denote the mean curvature and the Gauss curvature of the surface and a, b and c are constants. The classification depends on the causal character of the axis of revolution. We will give a first integral of the equation of the generating c...
