Antiferromagnetically ordered (AFM) spin chains arranged along space curves possess geometry-driven magnetic interactions, described by chain curvature and torsion. These interactions by symmetry resemble anisotropic and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya contributions, originate from exchange, dipolar interaction and intrinsic anisotropy in samples of curved shape [1, 2] and determine the ground state and spin dynamics of such systems [2, 3]. Here, we investigate helix-shaped AFM spin chains (constant curvature and torsion) and describe domain wall dynamics in such system being exposed to rotating magnetic field. Domain wall propagates with velocity, proportional to magnetic field frequency. The relation between the external field and geometrical parameters of the spin chain determines two motion modes: oscillating one and rigid motion with a constant velocity. Curvature and torsion strongly affect stability conditions of the rigid motion mode and domain wall velocity. [1] O. V. Pylypovskyi et al., App. Phys. Lett., 118, 182405 (2021); [2] O. V.
