In [5], Matsuda and Yorozo obtained that Mannheim curves in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. In this study, we define quaternionic Mannheim curves and we give some characterizations of them in Euclidean 3-space and 4-space.
In this paper, we study spinor Frenet equations in three dimensional Lie Groups with a bi-invariant metric. Also, we obtain spinor Frenet equations for special cases of three dimensional Lie groups.
In this paper, we define Mannheim partner curves in a three dimensional Lie group G with a bi-invariant metric. And then the main result in this paper is given as (Theorem 3.3): A curve α with the Frenet apparatus {T,N,B,κ,τ} in G is a Mannheim partner curve if and only if λκ(1+H2)=1, where λ is constant and H is the harmonic curvature function of the curve α.
In this paper, we give the defination of harmonic curvature function some special curves such as helix, slant curves, Mannheim curves and Bertrand curves. Then, we recall the characterizations of helices [8], slant curves (see [19]) and Mannheim curves (see [12]) in three dimensional Lie groups using their harmonic curvature function. Moreover, we define Bertrand curves in a three dimensional Lie group G with a bi-invariant metric and the main result in this paper is given as (Theorem 3.4): A curve ?α with the Frenet apparatus {T,N,B,κ,τ} in G is a Bertrand curve if and only if λκ+μκH=1 where λ,μ ? are constants and H is the harmonic curvature function of the curve α.
In this paper, we define slant helices in three dimensional Lie Groups with a bi-invariant metric and obtain a characterization of slant helices. Moreover, we give some relations between slant helices and their involutes, spherical images.
