Bertrand curves in three dimensional Lie groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: 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 ?{alpha} with the Frenet apparatus {T,N,B,{kappa},{ au}} in G is a Bertrand curve if and only if {lambda}{kappa}+{mu}{kappa}H=1 where {lambda},{mu} ? are constants and H is the harmonic curvature function of the curve {alpha}.
