Abstract: In this article, we study rectifying curves in arbitrary dimensional Euclidean space. A curve is said to be a rectifying curve if, in all points of the curve, the orthogonal complement of its normal vector contains a fixed point. We characterize rectifying curves in the n-dimensional Euclidean space in different ways: using conditions on their curvatures, using an expression for the tangential component, the normal component or the binormal components of their position vector, and by constructing them starting from an arclength parameterized curve on the unit hypersphere.
