Two Special Types of Curves in Lorentzian α-Sasakian 3-Manifolds

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the research and analysis of the geometric properties and symmetry of slant curves and contact magnetic curves in Lorentzian α-Sasakian 3-manifolds. To do this, we define the notion of Lorentzian cross product. From the perspectives of the Legendre and non-geodesic curves, we found the ratio relationship between the curvature and torsion of the slant curve and contact magnetic curve in the Lorentzian α-Sasakian 3-manifolds. Moreover, we utilized the property of the contact magnetic curve to characterize the manifold as Lorentzian α-Sasakian and to find the slant curve type of the Frenet contact magnetic curve. Furthermore, we found an example to verify the geometric properties of the slant curve and contact magnetic curve in the Lorentzian α-Sasakian 3-manifolds.
