TL;DR Summary
κ1,κ2,...,κn-1 is constant
What do we know of a curve(/what can it look like) in R^n if we know that κ1,κ2,...,κn-1 is constant?

If you don't tell us what the ##\kappa##s are, not a lot.
 
Precisely the exercise asks: "Describe those curves of general type in R^n which have
constant curvatures."
 
So this is a homework type problem then. It should therefore be posted in the appropriate homework forum using the homework template - including the full problem statement, relevant equations, and your work/thoughts so far.

Indeed. @diffgeo4life - a little bit of Googling will get you at least part way there even if your textbook isn't helpful.

Sorry then, I guess then i will try posting in the Homework- Calculus and beyond forum, that looks most appropriate

Thread 'Injective immersion and embedding'

Hello! There is a simple line in the textbook. If ##S## is a manifold, an injectively immersed submanifold ##M## of ##S## is embedded if and only if ##M## is locally closed in ##S##. Recall the definition. M is locally closed if for each point ##x\in M## there open ##U\subset S## such that ##M\cap U## is closed in ##U##. Embedding to injective immesion is simple. The opposite direction is hard. Suppose I have ##N## as source manifold and ##f:N\rightarrow S## is the injective...
