Spinor equations in Weyl geometry

Buchholz, Volker (2000)

Proceedings of the 19th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

This paper deals with Dirac, twistor and Killing equations on Weyl manifolds with C -spin structures. A conformal Schrödinger-Lichnerowicz formula is presented and used to derive integrability conditions for these equations. It is shown that the only non-closed Weyl manifolds of dimension greater than 3 that admit solutions of the real Killing equation are 4-dimensional and non-compact. Any Weyl manifold of dimension greater than 3, that admits a real Killing spinor has to be Einstein-Weyl.

Steady and unsteady 2D numerical solution of generalized Newtonian fluids flow

Keslerová, Radka, Kozel, Karel (2012)

Applications of Mathematics 2012

This article presents the numerical solution of laminar incompressible viscous flow in a branching channel for generalized Newtonian fluids. The governing system of equations is based on the system of balance laws for mass and momentum. The generalized Newtonian fluids differ through choice of a viscosity function. A power-law model with different values of power-law index is used. Numerical solution of the described models is based on cell-centered finite volume method using explicit Runge–Kutta...

Supersymmetry, a biased review

Lindström, U. (2003)

Proceedings of the 22nd Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

In spite of the provocative title this is a run of the mill review of supersymmetry. The only thing which deserves some comment is that the author seems to think that coordinate free and coordinate dependent treatments belong to conflicting cultures. This is definitely not true. Coordinate free treatments concentrate one's mind on the geometry while coordinate dependent treatments are indispensable for computations producing numbers which can be compared with experimental values. Those who use the...
