Tangent developable of a curve with zero torsion. The tangent developable is a developable surface; that is, it is a surface with zero Gaussian curvature.It is one of three fundamental types of developable surface; the other two are the generalized cones (the surface traced out by a one-dimensional family of lines through a fixed point), and the cylinders (surfaces traced out by a one ...
The differential-geometric properties of a parametric curve (such as its length, its Frenet frame, and its generalized curvature) are invariant under reparametrization and therefore properties of the equivalence class itself. The equivalence classes are called C r-curves and are central objects studied in the differential geometry of curves.

Animation of the torsion and the corresponding rotation of the binormal vector. Let r be a space curve parametrized by arc length s and with the unit tangent vector T.If the curvature κ of r at a certain point is not zero then the principal normal vector and the binormal vector at that point are the unit vectors
In differential geometry, a G-structure on an n-manifold M, for a given structure group [1] G, is a principal G-subbundle of the tangent frame bundle FM (or GL(M)) of M.. The notion of G-structures includes various classical structures that can be defined on manifolds, which in some cases are tensor fields.
In the field of differential geometry in mathematics, mean curvature flow is an example of a geometric flow of hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold (for example, smooth surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space).
