Behavior of torsion functions of spacelike curves in Lorentz-Minkowski space
arXiv:1905.03367
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the pseudo-torsion functions along spacelike curves whose curvature vector field has isolated lightlike points in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space, and prove the fundamental theorem. Moreover, we analyze the behavior of the torsion function at such points. As a corollary, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for real analytic spacelike curves to be planar.
