Some characterizations of rectifying curves in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^{3}(-r)$

Abstract

In this paper, we study the geometry of rectifying curves in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^{3}(-r)$. Further we obtain the distance function in terms of arc length when the rectifying curve lying in the upper half plane. Then we find the distance function and also give the general equations of the curvature and torsion of rectifying general helices in $\mathbb{H}^3(-r)$.
