B-Lift curves and involute curves in Lorentzian 3-space

Abstract

The involute of a curve is often called the perpendicular trajectories of the tangent vectors of a unit speed curve. Furthermore, the B-Lift curve is the curve acquired by combining the endpoints of the binormal vectors of a unit speed curve. In this study, we investigate the correspondences between the Frenet vectors of a curve’s B-lift curve and its involute. We also give an illustration of a helix that resembles space in Lorentzian 3-space and show how to visualize these curves by deriving the B-Lift curve and its involute.
