  • The purpose of this paper is to assign a movable frame to an arbitrary point of a rational Bézier curve on the 2-sphere S2 in Euclidean 3-space R3 to provide a better understanding of the geometry of the curve. Especially, we obtain the formula of geodesic curvature for a quadratic rational Bézier curve that allows a curve to be characterized on the surface. Moreover, we give some important results and relations for the Darboux frame and geodesic curvature of a such curve. Then, in specific case, given characterizations for the quadratic rational Bézier curve are illustrated on a unit 2-sphere.

  • In this paper, we study the infinitesimal transformation on the fibred Riemannian space. The conharmonic curvature tensor is invariant under the conharmonic transformation. We have proved that the conharmonically flat fibred Riemannian space with totally geodesic fibre is locally the Riemannian product of the base space and a fibre.

  • We determine maximal space-like hypersurfaces which are the images of subbundles of the normal bundle of m-dimensional totally geodesic space-like submanifolds of an (m + 2)-dimensional Lorentzian space form $\tilde{M}_1^{m+2}$(c) under the normal exponential map. Then we construct examples of maximal space-like hypersurfaces of $\tilde{M}_1^{m+2}$(c).

  • We study hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space with the following property: the tangential part of the position vector has constant length. As a result, we prove that among the connected and complete hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space, only the hypersphere centered at the origin satisfies the property.

  • On the hyperbolic space $D^n$, codimension-one totally geodesic foliations of class $C^k$ are classified. Except for the unique parabolic homogeneous foliation, the set of all such foliations is in one-one correspondence (up to isometry) with the set of all functions z : [0, $\pi$] $\rightarrow$ $S^{n-1}$ of class $C^{k-1}$ with z(0) = $e_1$ = z($\pi$) satisfying |z'(r)| ${\leq}1$ for all r, modulo an isometric action by O(n-1) ${\times}\mathbb{R}{\times}\mathbb{Z}_2$. Since 1-dimensional metric foliations on $D^n$ are always either homogeneous or flat (that is, their orthogonal distributions are integrable), this classifies all 1-dimensional metric foliations as well. Equations of leaves for a non-trivial family of metric foliations on $D^2$ (called "fifth-line") are found.

  • 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.

  • Let $M_n$(c) be an n-dimensional complete and simply connected Kahlerian manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvature c, which is called a complex space form. Then according to c > 0, c = 0 or c < 0 it is a complex projective space $P_nC$, a complex Euclidean space $C^n$ or a complex hyperbolic space $H_nC$.
