ON NULL CURVES ON SURFACES AND NULL VECTORS IN LORENTZ SPACE

Abstract

 In this work, we compare the Darboux frame and the Frenet frame of a null curve lying on a spacelike surface in the three-dimensional Lorentz space, and we show that the normal curvature of the curve is a constant. Then we study the inner product of null vectors, to have results in terms of angles.
