Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the theory of evolutes of null Cartan curves in Minkowski 4-space. In the second part, we present the basic concepts of curves in Minkowski 4-space with its Frenet equations. In the next section, the definition of evolutes of null Cartan curves in Minkowski 4-space is given, and we derive some theorems related to casual characters of those evolute curves. The last part provides an example for the theorems in the preceding section.

Keywords
