Isochrone spacetimes

Isochrone Distributions

are recorded from patients during surgery and from animals in the research laboratory for a variety of purposes. During such recordings, a portion of the cardiac surface is exposed to air, and the remainder of the epicardial surface variably is in contact with conductive tissue. No systematic studies document the degree to which these different conditions affect measured excitation times, poten...

Variation of the dynamic susceptibility along an isochrone.

Koperwas et al. showed in a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 125701 (2013)] that the dynamic susceptibility χ4 as estimated by dielectric measurements for certain glass-forming liquids decreases substantially with increasing pressure along a curve of constant relaxation time. This observation is at odds with other measures of dynamics being invariant and seems to pose a problem for theories ...

Spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor

‎The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting‎ ‎quasi-conformal curvature tensor‎. ‎At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein‎ ‎and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying‎ ‎Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant‎. ‎Next‎, ‎we prove that if the perfect flui...

Combinatorial Spacetimes

Kundt Spacetimes

Kundt spacetimes are of great importance in general relativity in 4 dimensions and have a number of topical applications in higher dimensions in the context of string theory. The degenerate Kundt spacetimes have many special and unique mathematical properties, including their invariant curvature structure and their holonomy structure. We provide a rigorous geometrical kinematical definition of ...
