the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame
this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
15 صفحه اولBi-invariant Means on Lie Groups with Cartan-Schouten Connections
In computational anatomy, one needs to perform statistics on shapes and transformations, and to transport these statistics from one geometry (e.g. a given subject) to another (e.g. the template). The geometric structure that appeared to be the best suited so far was the Riemannian setting. The statistical Riemannian framework was indeed pretty well developped for finite-dimensional manifolds an...
متن کاملThe Normal Conformal Cartan Connection and the Bach Tensor
The goal of this paper is to express the Bach tensor of a four dimensional conformal geometry of an arbitrary signature by the Cartan normal conformal (CNC) connection. We show that the Bach tensor can be identified with the Yang–Mills current of the connection. It follows from that result that a conformal geometry whose CNC connection is reducible in an appropriate way has a degenerate Bach te...
متن کاملPolyakov soldering and second order frames : the role of the Cartan connection
The so-called ‘soldering’ procedure performed by A.M. Polyakov in [1] for a SL(2,R)gauge theory is geometrically explained in terms of a Cartan connection on second order frames of the projective space RP. The relationship between a Cartan connection and the usual (Ehresmann) connection on a principal bundle allows to gain an appropriate insight into the derivation of the genuine ‘diffeomorphis...
متن کاملExponential Barycenters of the Canonical Cartan Connection and Invariant Means on Lie Groups
When performing statistics on elements of sets that possess a particular geometric structure, it is desirable to respect this structure. For instance in a Lie group, it would be judicious to have a notion of a mean which is stable by the group operations (composition and inversion). Such a property is ensured for Riemannian center of mass in Lie groups endowed with a bi-invariant Riemannian met...
