MACH PRINCIPLE AND SPACE-TIME METRIC

Orthogonal metric space and convex contractions

‎In this paper, generalized convex contractions on orthogonal metric spaces are stablished in whath  might be called their  definitive versions. Also, we show that there are examples which show that our main theorems are  genuine generalizations of Theorem 3.1 and 3.2 of [M.A. Miandaragh, M. Postolache and S. Rezapour,  {it Approximate fixed points of generalized convex contractions}, Fixed Poi...

Metric on a Statistical Space - Time

We introduce a concept of distance for a space-time where the notion of point is replaced by the notion of physical states e.g. probability distributions. We apply ideas of information theory and compute the Fisher information matrix on such a space-time. This matrix is the metric on that manifold. We apply these ideas to a simple model and show that the Lorentzian metric can be obtained if we ...

Metric on a Statistical Space-Time

A metric space construction for the boundary of space-time

A distance function between points in space-time is defined and used to consider the manifold as a topological metric space. The properties of the distance function are investigated: conditions under which the metric and manifold topologies agree, the relationship with the causal structure of the space-time and with the maximum lifetime function ofWald.and Yip, and in terms of the space of caus...

Space-Time Variation of Physical Constants and the Equivalence Principle

Location-dependence of physical parameters such as the electromagnetic fine structure constant and Newton’s G produce body accelerations which violate universality of free fall rates testable with laboratory and space experiments. Theoretically related cosmological time variation of these same parameters are also constrained by experiments such as lunar laser ranging, and these time variations ...
