The notion of ``hyperbolic'' angle between any two time-like directions in the Lorentzian plane was properly defined and studied by Birman and Nomizu [1,2]. In this article, we define the notion of hyperbolic angle between any two non-null directions in and we define a measure on the set of these hyperbolic angles. As an application, we extend Scofield's work on the Euclidean curves of constant precession [9] to the Lorentzian setting, thus expliciting space-like curves in whose natural equations...
Nous étudions l’ensemble Conf des immersions conformes entre deux variétés pseudo-riemanniennes et . Nous caractérisons notamment l’adhérence de Conf dans l’espace des applications continues , et décrivons quelques propriétés géométriques de lorsque cette adhérence est non triviale.
In questo lavoro si dà una definizione di divergenza fra cronotopi della Relatività Generale e si costruisce un criterio per l'identificazione dei punti eventi di cronotopi divergenti che appartengono ad una classe consistente con la presenza di campi elettromagnetici nel vuoto.
We study several linear connections (the first canonical, the Chern, the well adapted, the Levi Civita, the Kobayashi-Nomizu, the Yano, the Bismut and those with totally skew-symmetric torsion) which can be defined on the four geometric types of -metric manifolds. We characterize when such a connection is adapted to the structure, and obtain a lot of results about coincidence among connections. We prove that the first canonical and the well adapted connections define a one-parameter family of adapted...
We study Weyl structures on lightlike hypersurfaces endowed with a conformal structure of certain type and specific screen distribution: the Weyl screen structures. We investigate various differential geometric properties of Einstein-Weyl screen structures on lightlike hypersurfaces and show that, for ambient Lorentzian space ℝ1n+2 and a totally umbilical screen foliation, there is a strong interplay with the induced (Riemannian) Weyl-structure on the leaves.
Nous étudions les feuilletages lisses totalement géodésiques de codimension des
variétés lorentziennes. Nous nous intéressons notamment aux relations entre les flots
riemanniens et les feuilletages géodésiques. Nous prouvons que, quitte à prendre un
revêtement d’ordre , tout fibré de Seifert possède un tel feuilletage.
This paper deals with a family of lightlike (null) hypersurfaces (H u) of a Lorentzian manifold M such that each null normal vector ℓ of H u is not entirely in H u, but, is defined in some open subset of M around H u. Although the family (H u) is not unique, we show, subject to some reasonable condition(s), that the involved induced objects are independent of the choice of (H u) once evaluated at u = constant. We use (n+1)-splitting Lorentzian manifold to obtain a normalization of ℓ and a well-defined...
Nous établissons des formes normales pour les champs conformes sur une variété pseudo-riemannienne, au voisinage d’une singularité. Sur une variété lorentzienne analytique, nous montrons qu’ou bien un tel champ est linéarisable au voisinage de la singularité, ou bien la variété est conformément plate. Dans tous les cas, le champs est localement conjugué à une forme normale sur un espace modèle. Pour des métriques lisses de signature quelconque, nous obtenons un résultat analogue sous l’hypothèse...
