Invariant parametrizations and complete systems of global invariants of curves in the pseudo-Euclidean geometry

Let M(n, p) be the group of all transformations of an n-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space Enp of index p generated by all pseudo-orthogonal transformations and parallel translations of Enp. Definitions of a pseudo-Euclidean type of a curve, an invariant parametrization of a curve and an M(n, p)-equivalence of curves are introduced. All possible invariant parametrizations of a curve with a fixed pseudo-Euclidean type are described. The problem of the M(n, p)-equivalence of curves is reduced to that of paths. Global conditions of the M(n, p)-equivalence of curves are given in terms of the pseudo-Euclidean type of a curve and the system of polynomial differential M(n, p)-invariants of a curve x(s).

Remark 7 According to Corollary 2, the system L(α), sgn < x, x>, < x(2), x(2)>, . . . , < x(n −1) , x(n −1) >,xx(2). . . x(n) is a complete system of SM (n, p) -invariants of a curve α for the case L(α) = (−∞, +∞). But they are not invariants of a curve α for the case L(α) = (−∞, +∞). They depend on reparametrizations s → s + a of the curve α . Aripov, R.
