Abstract

We give conditions for the shadow boundary of a Riemannian submanifold $M$ to be regular. We prove that a helix hypersurface is ruled. By studying some relations between these natural submanifolds, we show that a minimal helix shadow boundary hypersurface of $M$ is totally geodesic in $M$.
