Gravitational Waves: Just Plane Symmetry
We present some remarkable properties of the symmetry group for gravitational plane waves. Our main observation is that metrics with plane wave symmetry satisfy every system of generally covariant vacuum field equations except the Einstein equations. The proof uses the homothety admitted by metrics with plane wave symmetry and the scaling behavior of generally covariant field equations. We also...
متن کاملConformal geometry of gravitational plane waves
It is well known that the conformal group of a non-flat vacuum pp-wave is at most 7-dimensional. Here we explicitly determine all solutions with a 7-dimensional group in three particular families of gravitational plane waves. All of them are exact solutions in terms of elementary functions. Furthermore, it turns out that a gravitational plane wave with a 6-dimensional homothety group (larger th...
متن کاملThe Pseudo-Conformal Universe: Scale Invariance from Spontaneous Breaking of Conformal Symmetry
We present a novel theory of the very early universe which addresses the traditional horizon and flatness problems of big bang cosmology and predicts a scale invariant spectrum of perturbations. Unlike inflation, this scenario requires no exponential accelerated expansion of space-time. Instead, the early universe is described by a conformal field theory minimally coupled to gravity. The confor...
متن کاملLattice Symmetry-Breaking Perturbations for Spiral Waves
Spiral waves occur in several natural phenomena, including reaction fronts in twodimension excitable media. In this thesis we attempt to characterize the motion of the spiral tip of a rigidly rotating wave and a linearly travelling wave in the context of a lattice perturbation. This system can be reduced to its center manifold, which allows us to describe the system as ordinary differential equ...
متن کاملSymmetry-Breaking Control of Rotating Waves
Our aim is the stabilization of time-periodic spatio-temporal synchronization patterns. Our primary examples are coupled networks of Stuart-Landau oscillators. We work in the spirit of Pyragas control by noninvasive delayed feedback. In addition we take advantage of symmetry aspects. For simplicity of presentation we first focus on a ring of coupled oscillators. We show how symmetry-breaking co...
