Abstract. The classification of curves in Em with harmonic mean curvaturevector field in the normal bundle is obtained and then it is used to obtain some applications. 1. IntroductionLet x : M" —► Em be an isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifoldin the Euclidean space. Denote by H and A the mean curvature vector fieldof (M, x) and the Laplacian of M respectively. A classical and well-knownequation of Beltrami gives a nice relation between H and A, namely Ax =-nH. Therefore minimal submanifolds in Euclidean space correspond withharmonic submanifolds. Submanifolds satisfying AH = 0 were called biharmonic submanifolds byB. Y. Chen. He also conjectured that biharmonicity implies harmonicity (andso minimality). This conjecture has been proved to be true in some special cases. For instance, B. Y. Chen [Ch] solved the conjecture for surfaces in E3. Also I. Dimitric [Di] did so for curves in Em by showing that straight lines in Emare the only biharmonic curves in Em .On the other hand if one considers a circle in E2 or more generally a Cornu
