Some characterizations of slant helices in Minkowski \( n \)-space \( E_{\nu}^{n} \) (Q2844623)

This paper deals with a unit speed curve \( \alpha \) in Minkowski \( n \)-space \( E_{\nu}^{n} \) endowed with the standard Lorentzian metric. Denote by \( \{ V_{1}(s), \ldots, V_{n}(s) \} \) the moving frame along \( \alpha \), where the vectors \( V_{i} \) are mutually orthogonal. The curve \( \alpha \) is called a slant helix if its unit principal normal vector \( V_{2} \) makes a constant angle with a fixed direction \( U \). Different characterizations of slant helices only in terms of their curvatures in \( E_{\nu}^{n} \) are given in Theorems 1.1, 3.1--3.3.
