Geometric properties of rotation minimizing vector elds along curves in Riemannian manifolds

Rotation minimizing (RM) vector elds and frames were introduced by Bishop as an alternative to the Frenet frame. They are used in CAGD because they can be de ned even when the curvature vanishes. Nevertheless, many other geometric properties have not been studied. In the present paper, RM vector elds along a curve immersed into a Riemannian manifold are studied when the ambient manifold is the Euclidean 3-space, the hyperbolic 3-space, and a K ahler manifold.
