Helix surfaces in the special linear group (Q5964951)

In recent years much work has been done to understand the geometry of surfaces whose unit normal vector field forms a constant angle with a fixed direction of the ambient space. These surfaces are called \textit{helix surfaces} or \textit{constant-angle surfaces} and have been studied in most of the \(3\)-dimensional geometries. The present work is devoted to the study and characterization of helix surfaces in the homogeneous \(3\)-manifold provided by the special linear group \(\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb R)\) endowed with a suitable \(1\)-parameter family \(g_\tau\) of metrics. This study depends on a constant \(B:=(\tau ^2+1)\cos ^2 \vartheta -1\), where \(\vartheta\) is the constant angle between the normal to the surface and the Hopf vector field of \(\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb R)\).
