contents Motivated by the experimental observation of spin-charge separation in one-dimensional interacting Fermi gases, we investigate these systems in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and Rabi fields. We demonstrate that spin-charge-separated modes evolve into helical collective modes due to the special mixing of spin and charge induced by spin-orbit coupling and Rabi fields. We obtain the phase diagram of chemical potential versus Rabi fields for given spin-orbit coupling and interactions, and find several topological quantum phase transitions of the Lifshitz type. We show that the velocities of the collective modes are nonanalytic at the boundaries between different phases. Lastly, we analyze the charge-charge, spin-charge and spin-spin dynamical structure factors to show that the dispersions, spectral weights and helicities of the collective modes can be experimentally extracted in systems such as $^{6}{\rm Li}$, $^{40}{\rm K}$ and $^{173}{\rm Yb}$.
