Abstract

In this paper,  we study $C$-parallel mean curvature vector field and $C$-proper mean curvature vector field along a slant Frenet curve in a Sasakian Lorentzian 3-manifold. In particular, we prove that a slant Frenet curve $\gamma$ in a Sasakian Lorentzian $3$-manifold $M$ satisfying $\Delta_{\dot{\gamma}} H =0$ is a geodesic or pseudo-helix with $\kappa^2=\tau^2$. For example, we find slant pseudo-helix in Lorentzian Heisenberg 3-space.
