Keywords:
Unit tangent bundle, Sasaki metric, N-legendre, N-slant and Sectional curvatureAbstract
Let (T1M; g1) be a unit tangent bundle of some surface (M; g) en-dowed with the induced Sasaki metric. In this present paper, we de-ne two kinds of curves called N-legendre and N-slant curves as curveshaving an inner product of normal vector and Reeb vector zero andnonzero constant respectively and several important characterizationsof these curves are obtained.References
