The main goal of this paper is to show that helix surfaces and the Enneper surface are the only surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $R^3$ whose isogonal lines are generalized helices and pseudo-geodesic lines.
In this paper we characterize concircular helices in $R^3$ by means of a differential equation involving their curvature and torsion. We find a full description of concircular surfaces in $R^3$ as a special family of ruled surfaces, and we show that $M$ in $R^3$ is a proper concircular surface if and only if either $M$ is parallel to a conical surface or $M$ is the normal surface to a spherical curve. Finally, we characterize the concircular helices as geodesics of concircular surfaces.
In this paper, we find a full description of concircular hypersurfaces in space forms as a special family of ruled hypersurfaces. We also characterize concircular helices in 3-dimensional space forms by means of a differential equation involving the concircular factor and their curvature and torsion, and we show that the concircular helices are precisely the geodesics of the concircular surfaces.
In this paper we generalize the notion of helix in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, which we define as that curve $C$ for which there is an $F$-constant vector field $W$ along $C$ that forms a constant angle with a fixed direction $V$ (called an axis of the helix). We find the natural equation and the geometric integration of helices $C$ where the $F$-constant vector field $W$ is orthogonal to its axis.
