Foliations of lightlike hypersurfaces and their physical interpretation

Krishan Duggal (2012)

Open Mathematics

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...

Formulazione intrinseca del problema di Cauchy in relatività generale

Giorgio Ferrarese (1988)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Viene stabilita una formulazione intrinseca del problema di Cauchy in Relatività generale, per uno spazio-tempo riemanniano descritto da un mezzo continuo globale e non-polare. In termini di variabili proprie: metrica, velocità angolare e di deformazione, densità di pura materia, flusso termico e temperatura. Vengono altresì precisate le condizioni iniziali per i dati di Cauchy su una assegnata superficie spaziale σ 3 ; condizioni in involuzione nel senso d'E. Cartan, le quali mettono in evidenza,...

Fourier Mukai transforms and applications to string theory.

Björn Andreas, Daniel Hernández Ruipérez (2005)

RACSAM

El artículo es una introducción a la transformación de Fourier-Mukai y sus aplicaciones a varios problemas de móduli, teoría de cuerdas y simetría "mirror". Se desarrollan los fundamentos necesarios para las transformaciones de Fourier-Mukai, entre ellos las categorías derivadas y los functores integrales. Se explican además sus versiones relativas, que se necesitan para precisar la noción de T-dualidad fibrada en variedades de Calabi-Yau elípticas de dimensión tres. Se consideran también varias...

Generalized geodesic deviations: a Lagrangean approach

R. Kerner (2003)

Banach Center Publications

The geodesic deviation equations, called also the Jacobi equations, describe only the first-order effects, linear in the small parameter characterizing the deviation from an original worldline. They can be easily generalized if we take into account the higher-order terms. Here we derive these higher-order equations not only directly, but also from the Taylor expansion of the variational principle itself. Then we show how these equations can be used in a novel approach to the two-body problem in...

Generating series and asymptotics of classical spin networks

Francesco Costantino, Julien Marché (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study classical spin networks with group SU 2 . In the first part, using Gaussian integrals, we compute their generating series in the case where the edges are equipped with holonomies; this generalizes Westbury’s formula. In the second part, we use an integral formula for the square of the spin network and perform stationary phase approximation under some non-degeneracy hypothesis. This gives a precise asymptotic behavior when the labels are rescaled by a constant going to infinity.
