Harmonic evolutes of B-scrolls with constant mean curvature in Lorentz–Minkowski space
Abstract
In this paper, we study harmonic evolutes of B-scrolls, that is, of ruled surfaces in Lorentz–Minkowski space having no Euclidean counterparts. Contrary to Euclidean space where harmonic evolutes of surfaces are surfaces again, harmonic evolutes of B-scrolls turn out to be curves. In particular, we show that the harmonic evolute of a B-scroll of constant mean curvature together with its base curve forms a null Bertrand pair. This allows us to characterize B-scrolls of constant mean curvature and reconstruct them from a given null curve which is their harmonic evolute.
