A symplectic manifold homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to
In this paper we construct a minimal symplectic 4-manifold and prove it is homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to CP#3CP 2 .
متن کاملSmoothing under Diffeomorphic Constraints with Homeomorphic Splines
In this paper we introduce a new class of diffeomorphic smoothers based on general spline smoothing techniques and on the use of some tools that have been recently developed in the context of image warping to compute smooth diffeomorphisms. This diffeomorphic spline is defined as the solution of an ordinary differential equation governed by an appropriate time-dependent vector field. This solut...
متن کاملSpacetime Defects: Torsion Loops
Spacetimes with everywhere vanishing curvature tensor, but with tor-sion different from zero only on world sheets that represent closed loops in ordinary space are presented, also defects along open curves with end points at infinity are studied. The case of defects along timelike loops is also considered and the geodesics in these spaces are briefly discussed.
متن کاملImaginary Numbers are not Real — the Geometric Algebra of Spacetime
This paper contains a tutorial introduction to the ideas of geometric algebra, concentrating on its physical applications. We show how the definition of a ‘geometric product’ of vectors in 2and 3-dimensional space provides precise geometrical interpretations of the imaginary numbers often used in conventional methods. Reflections and rotations are analysed in terms of bilinear spinor transforma...
متن کاملDiscriminants of Convex Curves Are Homeomorphic
For a given real generic curve γ : S1 → Pn let Dγ denote the ruled hypersurface in Pn consisting of all osculating subspaces to γ of codimension 2. In this short note we show that for any two convex real projective curves γ1 : S1 → Pn and γ2 : S1 → Pn the pairs (Pn, Dγ1 ) and (Pn, Dγ2 ) are homeomorphic. §0. Preliminaries and results Definition. A smooth curve γ : S → P is called nondegenerate ...
