  • The canal surfaces foliated by pseudo spheres $\mathbb{S}_1^2$ along a space curve in Minkowski 3-space are studied. The geometric properties of such surfaces are shown by classifying the linear Weingarten canal surfaces, the developable, minimal and umbilical canal surfaces are discussed at the same time.

  • In this paper, we define the directional associated curve and the self-associated curve of a null curve in Minkowski 3-space. We study the properties and relations between the null curve, its directional associated curve and its self-associated curve. At the same time, by solving certain differential equations, we get the explicit representations of some null curves.

  • In this paper, we prove that there are no pseudo null Bertrand curve with curvature functions $k_1(s)=1$, $k_2(s){\neq}0$ and $k_3(s)$ other than itself in Minkowski spacetime ${\mathbb{E}}_1^4$ and by using the similar idea of Matsuda and Yorozu [13], we define a new kind of Bertrand curve and called it pseudo null (1,3)-Bertrand curve. Also we give some characterizations and an example of pseudo null (1,3)-Bertrand curves in Minkowski spacetime.

  • The aim of this paper is to investigate Betchov-Da Rios equation by using null Cartan, pseudo null and partially null curve in Minkowski spacetime. Time derivative formulas of frame of s parameter null Cartan, pseudo null and partially null curve are examined, respectively. By using the obtained derivative formulas, new results are given about the solution of Betchov-Da Rios equation. The differential geometric properties of these solutions are obtained with respect to Lorentzian causal character of s parameter curve. For a solution of Betchov-Da Rios equation, it is seen that null Cartan s parameter curves are space curves in three-dimensional Minkowski space. Then all points of the soliton surface are flat points of the surface for null Cartan and partially null curve. Thus, it is seen from the results obtained that there is no surface corresponding to the solution of Betchov-Da Rios equation by using the pseudo null s parameter curve.

  • In this paper, the trajectory scroll in 3-dimensional Minkowski space-time $E_1^3$ is given by a firmly connected oriented line moving with Cartan frame along curve. Some theorems and results between curvatures of base curve and distribution parameter of this surface are obtained. Moreover, some theorems and results related to being developable and minimal of this surface are given. And also, some relationships among geodesic curvature, geodesic torsion and the curvatures of base curve of trajectory scroll are found.

  • In this paper, we study on spinors with two hyperbolic components. Firstly, we express the hyperbolic spinor representation of a spacelike curve dened on an oriented (spacelike or time-like) surface in Minkowski space ${\mathbb{R}}^3_1$. Then, we obtain the relation between the hyperbolic spinor representation of the Frenet frame of the spacelike curve on oriented surface and Darboux frame of the surface on the same points. Finally, we give one example about these hyperbolic spinors.

  • We study low type submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean space which is especially of 2-type pseudo-umbilical. We also determine full null 2-type surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in 4-dimensional Minkowski space-time.

  • Let E be a real, non-degenerate, indefinite inner product space with dim $E \geq 3$. It is shown that any bijection of E which preserves the light cones is an affine map.
