    Concircular helices and concircular surfaces in Euclidean 3-space R3
    (Universidad de Hacettepe, 2023) Lucas Saorín, Pascual; Ortega Yagües, José Antonio; Matemáticas
    In this paper we characterize concircular helices in R3 by means of a differential equation involving their curvature and torsion. We find a full description of concircular surfaces in R3 as a special family of ruled surfaces, and we show that M ⊂ R3 is a proper concircular surface if and only if either M is parallel to a conical surface or M is the normal surface to a spherical curve. Finally, we characterize the concircular helices as geodesics of concircular surfaces.

    Concircular hypersurfaces and concircular helices inspace forms
    (Springer, 2023-08-23) Lucas Saorín, Pascual; Ortega Yagües, José Antonio; Matemáticas
    In this paper, we find a full description of concircular hypersurfaces in spaceforms as a special family of ruled hypersurfaces. We also characterize concircularhelices in 3-dimensional space forms by means of a differential equation involving theconcircular factor and their curvature and torsion, and we show that the concircularhelices are precisely the geodesics of the concircular surfaces.

    Slant helices, a new approximation
    (Hacettepe University, 2019) Lucas Saorín, Pascual; Ortega-Yagües, José Antonio; Matemáticas
    In this paper, we study a weaker version of classic slant helices in Euclidean space R^3 or Minkowski space R^3_1 which will be called general slant helices. We show that any classic slant helix is a general slant helix but the converse is not true. We also obtain equations involving the curvature and torsion that characterize this family of curves.
