Conical defects in growing sheets.
A growing or shrinking disc will adopt a conical shape, its intrinsic geometry characterized by a surplus angle phi(e) at the apex. If growth is slow, the cone will find its equilibrium. Whereas this is trivial if phi(e)0. We construct these states in the regime where bending dominates and determine their energi...
متن کاملGravitational field of vacuumless defects
It has been recently shown that topological defects can arise in symmetry breaking models where the scalar field potential V (φ) has no minima and is a monotonically decreasing function of |φ|. Here we study the gravitational fields produced by such vacuumless defects in the cases of both global and gauge symmetry breaking. We find that a global monopole has a strongly repulsive gravitational f...
متن کاملCasimir Energy in a Conical Wedge and a Conical Cavity
Casimir energies for a massless scalar field for a conical wedge and a conical cavity are calculated. The group generated by the images is employed in deriving the Green function as well as the wave functions and the energy spectrum.
متن کاملGravitational Energy
Observers at rest in a stationary spacetime flat at infinity can measure small amounts of rest-mass+internal energies+kinetic energies+pressure energy in a small volume of fluid attached to a local inertial frame. The sum of these small amounts is the total “matter energy” EM for those observers. If Mc 2 is the total mass-energy, the difference Mc − EM is the binding gravitational energy. Misne...
متن کاملQuasilocal gravitational energy.
Abstract. A dynamically preferred quasi-local definition of gravitational energy is given in terms of the Hamiltonian of a ‘2+2’ formulation of general relativity. The energy is well-defined for any compact orientable spatial 2-surface, and depends on the fundamental forms only. The energy is zero for any surface in flat spacetime, and reduces to the Hawking mass in the absence of shear and twi...
