Singularities of null hypersurfaces of pseudonull curves (Q492552)

Summary: The main goal of this paper is to study the singularities of null hypersurfaces of pseudonull curves. To do this we construct a null frame and a Lorentz distance-squared function of the pseudonull curve. The relations are shown between singularities of the null hypersurfaces and those, of the Lorentz distance-squared function. And we reveal the geometric meanings of the singularities of such hypersurfaces. In addition, we also introduce some properties of the nullcone Gaussian surface of the pseudonull curve.
