Abstract

In this work, we introduce Bishop spherical images of a spacelike curve in terms of Bishop trihedra in Minkowski 3-space. With this aim, we translate Bishop frame vectors to the center of Lorentzian sphere and give some characterizations. Additionally, we illustrate an example of our main results.

 

Key words: Classical differential geometry, spacelike curve, spherical image, Minkowski space.
