Slant Helices that Constructed from Hyperspherical Curves in the n-dimensional Euclidean Space

In this work, we study slant helices in the n-dimensional Euclidean space. We give  methods to determine the position vectors of slant helices from arclength parameterized curves that lie on the unit hypersphere. By means of these methods, first we characterize  slant helices and Salkowski curves which lie on 2n-dimensional hyperboloid. After that,  we characterize  rectifying slant helices which are geodesics of 2n-dimensional cone.

Rectifying curves in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space

In this article, we study rectifying curves in arbitrary dimensional Euclidean space. A curve is said to be a rectifying curve if, in all points of the curve, the orthogonal complement of its normal vector contains a fixed point. We characterize rectifying curves in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space in different ways: using conditions on their curvatures, using an expression for the tangential component, the normal component or the binormal components of their position vector, and by constructing them starting from an arclength parameterized curve on the unit hypersphere.
