A coding of real null four-momenta into world-sheet coordinates.
The work [3] of axiomatization of various classical theories on continuous bodies from the Mach-Painlevè point of view, is completed here in a way which -unlike [4]- is suitable for extension to special relativity. The main reason of this is the fact that gravitation can be excluded in all the theories on continuous bodies considered here. Following [1], the notion of (physical) equivalence among affine inertial frames, and that of (physical isotropy of these frames are introduced; it is shown that...
We recall how the Gauss-Bonnet theorem can be interpreted as a finite dimensional index theorem. We describe the construction given in hep-th/0512293 of a function that can be interpreted as a gravitational effective action on a triangulation. The variation of this function under local rescalings of the edge lengths sharing a vertex is the Euler density, and we use it to illustrate how continuous concepts can have natural discrete analogs.
In this paper we study the -stability of closed hypersurfaces with constant -th mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds of constant sectional curvature. In this setting, we obtain a characterization of the -stable ones through of the analysis of the first eigenvalue of an operator naturally attached to the -th mean curvature.
