DIRECTIONAL MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC VORTEX LINES AND THEIR GEOMETRIES IN MINKOWSKI SPACE

Abstract

In this study, we firstly introduce a different type of directional Fermi-Walker transportations along with vortex lines of a non-vanishing vector field in three-dimensional Minkowski space. Then we consider some geometric quantities, which are used to characterize vortex lines, in order to express angular velocity vector (Darboux vector) of the system in terms of these quantities. Later we present timelike directional magnetic vortex lines by computing the Lorentz force. Hence, we reach a remarkable relation between timelike directional magnetic vortex lines and angular velocity vector of vortex lines with a non-rotating frame in Minkowski space. We also determine the timelike directional electric vortex lines by considering the electromagnetic force equation. We finally investigate the conditions of being uniform for magnetic fields of timelike directional magnetic vortex lines and we improve such a remarkable approach to find the electromagnetic curvature that it contains many geometrical features belonging to timelike directional magnetic and electric vortex line.
