NULL CARTAN CURVES IN STRICT WALKER THREE-MANIFOLDS

Öz

In this paper, we study null Cartan curves in strict Walker three-manifolds on intervals where their tangent is not proportional to the distinguished parallel null vector field. On such intervals, a null curve is determined locally by its transverse coordinate. An adapted null frame yields a scalar function $\varphi=y''-\frac12 f_y$ that governs the acceleration and the Cartan frame. We determine the pseudo-arc parameter and Cartan curvature explicitly in terms of $\varphi$ and characterize the curves with vanishing Cartan curvature. A local correspondence with null Cartan curves in Minkowski three-space preserves the pseudo-arc parameter and curvature. We also construct curves with any prescribed smooth Cartan curvature through an arbitrary point and describe the resulting equations for plane-wave profiles. Examples illustrate these results in flat and non-flat strict Walker metrics.
