Abstract
In this paper, by introducing a new frame on spacelike curves lying in lightcone 3‐space, we investigate the geometric properties of the lightlike surface of the Darboux‐like indicatrix and the lightlike surface of the binormal indicatrix generated by spacelike curves in lightcone 3‐space. As an extension of our previous work and an application of the singularity theory, the singularities of the lightlike surfaces of the Darboux‐like indicatrix and the lightlike surface of the binormal indicatrix are classified, several new invariants of spacelike curves are discovered to be useful for characterizing these singularities, meanwhile, it is found that the new invariants also measure the order of contact between spacelike curves or principal normal indicatrixes of spacelike curves located in lightcone 3‐space and two‐dimensional lightcone whose vertices are at the singularities of lightlike surfaces. One concrete example is provided to illustrate our results.
