Singularities of Focal Surfaces of Null Cartan Curves in Minkowski 3-Space

Abstract EN

Singularities of the focal surfaces and the binormal indicatrix associated with a null Cartan curve will be investigated in Minkowski 3-space.

The relationships will be revealed between singularities of the above two subjects and differential geometric invariants of null Cartan curves; these invariants are deeply related to the order of contact of null Cartan curves with tangential planar bundle of lightcone.

Finally, we give an example to illustrate our findings.
