    Time-like Salkowski and anti-Salkowski curves in Minkowski space \e_1^3

    Full text link
    Salkowski \cite{salkow}, one century ago, introduced a family of curves with constant curvature but non-constant torsion (Salkowski curves) and a family of curves with constant torsion but non-constant curvature (anti-Salkowski curves) in Euclidean 3-space \e^3. In this paper, we adapt definition of such curves to time-like curves in Minkowski 3-space \e_1^3. Thereafter, we introduce an explicit parametrization of a time-like Salkowski curves and a time-like Anti-Salkowski curves in Minkowski space \e_1^3. Also, we characterize them as space curve with constant curvature or constant torsion and whose normal vector makes a constant angle with a fixed line.Comment: 9 pages onl

    Conformal Ricci Collineations of Plane Symmetric Static Spacetimes

    Full text link
    This article explores the Conformal Ricci Collineations (CRCs) for the plane-symmetric static spacetime. The non-linear coupled CRC equations are solved to get the general form of conformal Ricci symmetries. In the non-degenerate case, it turns out that the dimension of the Lie algebra of CRCs is finite. In the case were the Ricci tensor is degenerate, it found that the algebra of CRCs for the plane-symmetric static spacetime is mostly, but not always, infinite dimensional. In one case of degenerate Ricci tensor, we solved the differential constraints completely and a spacetime metric is obtained along with CRCs. We found ten possible cases of finite and infinite dimensional Lie algebras of CRCs for the considered spacetime.Comment: 17 page

    Position vectors of slant helices in Euclidean space E3^3

    Full text link
    In classical differential geometry, the problem of the determination of the position vector of an arbitrary space curve according to the intrinsic equations κ=κ(s)\kappa=\kappa(s) and τ=τ(s)\tau=\tau(s) (where κ\kappa and τ\tau are the curvature and torsion of the space curve ψ\psi, respectively) is still open \cite{eisenh, lips}. However, in the case of a plane curve, helix and general helix, this problem is solved. In this paper, we solved this problem in the case of a slant helix. Also, we applied this method to find the representation of a Salkowski, anti-Salkowski curves and a curve of constant precession, as examples of a slant helices, by means of intrinsic equations.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figure

    Position vectors of a spacelike general helices in Minkowski Space \e_1^3

    Full text link
    In this paper, position vector of a spacelike general helix with respect to standard frame in Minkowski space E13^3_1 are studied in terms of Frenet equations. First, a vector differential equation of third order is constructed to determine position vector of an arbitrary spacelike general helix. In terms of solution, we determine the parametric representation of the general helices from the intrinsic equations. Moreover, we give some examples to illustrate how to find the position vectors of a spacelike general helices with a spacelike and timelike principal normal vector from the intrinsic equations.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figure

    Determination of time-like helices from intrinsic equations in Minkowski 3-Space

    Full text link
    In this paper, position vectors of a time-like curve with respect to standard frame of Minkowski space E13^3_1 are studied in terms of Frenet equations. First, we prove that position vector of every time-like space curve in Minkowski space E13^3_1 satisfies a vector differential equation of fourth order. The general solution of mentioned vector differential equation has not yet been found. By special cases, we determine the parametric representation of the general helices from the intrinsic equations (i.e. curvature and torsion are functions of arc-length) of the time-like curve. Moreover, we give some examples to illustrate how to find the position vector from the intrinsic equations of general helices.Comment: p pages 3 figure

    New Class of Magnetized Inhomogeneous Bianchi Type-I Cosmological Model with Variable Magnetic Permeability in Lyra Geometry

    Full text link
    Inhomogeneous Bianchi type-I cosmological model with electro-magnetic field based on Lyra geometry is investigated. Using separated method, the Einstein field equations have been solved analytically with the aid of Mathematica programm. A new class of exact solutions have been obtained by considering the potentials of metric and displacement field are functions of coordinates t and x. We have assumed that F(12) is the only non-vanishing component of electro-magnetic field tensor F(ij). The Maxwells equations show that F(12) is the function of x alone whereas the magnetic permeability is the function of x and t both. To get the deterministic solution, it has been assumed that the expansion scaler Theta in the model is proportional to the value sigma(11) of the shear tensor sigma(ij). Some physical and geometric properties of the model are also discussed and graphed.Comment: Int. J. Theor. Phys. 52, 4055 (2013

    Symmetry Group Analysis for perfect fluid Inhomogeneous Cosmological Models in General Relativity

    Full text link
    In this paper, we have searched the existence of the similarity solution for plane symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological models in general relativity. The matter source consists of perfect fluid with proportionality relation between expansion scalar and shear scalar. The isovector fields of Einstein's field equation for the models under consideration are derived. A new class of exact solutions of Einstein's field equation have been obtained for inhomogeneous space-time. The physical behaviors and geometric aspects of the derived models have been discussed in detail.Comment: 13 page

    An optimal system and invariant solutions of dark energy Models in cylindrically symmetric space-time

    Full text link
    In this paper, we derive some new invariant solutions of dark energy models in cylindrically symmetric space-time. To quantify the deviation of pressure from isotropy, we introduce three different time dependent skewness parameters along the spatial directions. The matter source consists of dark energy which is minimally interact with perfect fluid. We use symmetry analysis method for solving the non-linear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) which is more powerful than the classical methods of solving NLPDEs. The geometrical and kinematical features of the models and the behaviour of the anisotropy of dark energy, are examined in detail.Comment: 13 page

    Invariant Bianchi type I models in f(R,T)f\left(R,T\right) Gravity

    Full text link
    In this paper, we search the existence of invariant solutions of Bianchi type I space-time in the context of f(R,T)f\left(R,T\right) gravity. The exact solution of the Einstein's field equations are derived by using Lie point symmetry analysis method that yield two models of invariant universe for symmetries X(1)X^{(1)} and X(3)X^{(3)}. The model with symmetries X(1)X^{(1)} begins with big bang singularity while the model with symmetries X(3)X^{(3)} does not favour the big bang singularity. Under this specification, we find out at set of singular and non singular solution of Bianchi type I model which present several other physically valid features within the framework of f(R,T)f\left(R,T\right).Comment: 14 Pages, 2 Figure panels, Textual changes and 01 reference adde
