Harmonicity and Minimality of Vector Fields on Lorentzian Lie Groups
We consider four-dimensional lie groups equipped with left-invariant Lorentzian Einstein metrics, and determine the harmonicity properties of vector fields on these spaces. In some cases, all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields. We also classify vector fields defining harmonic maps, and calculate explicitly the energy of t...
متن کاملClassical and quantum fields on Lorentzian manifolds
We construct bosonic and fermionic locally covariant quantum field theories on curved backgrounds for large classes of fields. We investigate the quantum field and n-point functions induced by suitable states.
متن کاملOn Concircular and Torse-forming Vector Fields on Compact Manifolds
In this paper we modify the theorem by E. Hopf and found results and conditions, on which concircular, convergent and torse-forming vector fields exist on (pseudo-) Riemannian spaces. These results are applied for conformal, geodesic and holomorphically projective mappings of special compact spaces without boundary.
متن کاملHarmonic fields on mixed Riemannian-Lorentzian manifolds
The extended projective disc is Riemannian at ordinary points, Lorentzian at ideal points, and singular on the absolute. Harmonic fields on this metric can be interpreted as the hodograph image of extremal surfaces in Minkowski 3-space. This suggests an approach to generalized Plateau problems in 3-dimensional space-time via Hodge theory on the extended projective disc. Boundary-value problems ...
متن کاملVector Fields on Manifolds
where n = dim M and 6» = ith Betti number of M ( = dim of Hi(M; Q)). Thus the geometric property of M having a nonzero vector field is expressed in terms of the algebraic invariant xM. We will discuss extensions of this idea to vector ^-fields, fields of ^-planes, and foliations of manifolds. All manifolds considered will be connected, smooth and without boundary; all maps will be continuous. F...
