      Some characterizations of inclined curves and slant helices in the Lorentzian space \(L^n\) (English)
      0 references
      A curve in Lorentzian \(n\)-space \(L^n\) is called a slant helix (resp. inclined curve) if its normal line (resp. principal tangent line) makes a constant angle with a fixed direction. For such curves the authors give a new type of harmonic functions which are called type-2 harmonic curvatures. Next they obtain some differential and integral characterizations of unit speed nonnull inclined curves and slant helices in the Lorentzian space \(L^n\).
