Abstract: In this paper, we give the characterizations of Mannheim Partner Curves in Minkowski 3-space . Firstly, we classify these curves in . Next, we give some relationships characterizing these curves and we show that Mannheim theorem is not valid for Mannheim partner curves in . Moreover, by considering the spherical indicatrix of the Fr'enet vectors of those curves, we obtain some new relationships between the curvatures and torsions of the Mannheim partner curves in .


Whereas a pair of Bertrand curves has common principal normals in corresponding points, for Mannheim partner curves the principal normals of one of the curves coincide with the binormals of the other one in corresponding points. Mannheim partner curves are studied in Minkowski space \(E^3_1\). It is shown that Mannheim's theorem is not valid, that means that a certain cross ratio is not constant. The reviewer could not resolve the following contradiction:NEWLINENEWLINE In Theorem 3.2 it is claimed that for any curve there is another curve so that these curves form a Mannheim pair. But in Theorem 3.4 it is shown that curvature and torsion of a curve belonging to a Mannheim pair obey a linear relation.
