Geometric Algebra of Singular Ruled Surfaces

Singular ruled surface is an interesting research object and is the breakthrough point of exploring new problems. However, because of singularity, it’s difficult to study the properties of singular ruled surfaces. In this paper, we combine singularity theory and Clifford algebra to study singular ruled surfaces. We take advantage of the dual number of Clifford algebra to make the singular ruled surfaces transform into the dual singular curves on the dual unit sphere. By using the research method on the singular curves, we give the definition of the dual evolute of the dual front in the dual unit sphere, we further provide the k-th dual evolute of the dual front. Moreover, we consider the ruled surface corresponding to the dual evolute and k-th dual evolute and provide the developable conditions of these ruled surfaces.
