Killing Vector Fields, Maxwell Equations and Lorentzian Spacetimes
In this paper we first analyze the structure of Maxwell equations in a Lorentzian spacetime when the potential is A = eK, i.e., proportional to a 1-form K physically equivalent Killing vector field. We show that A necessarily obeys the Lorenz gauge δA = 0. Moreover we determine the form of the current associated with this potential showing that it is of a superconducting type, i.e., proportiona...
متن کاملLorentzian spacetimes with constant curvature invariants in four dimensions
In this paper we investigate four dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes with constant curvature invariants (CSI spacetimes). We prove that if a four dimensional spacetime is CSI , then either the spacetime is locally homogeneous or the spacetime is a Kundt spacetime for which there exists a frame such that the positive boost weight components of all curvature tensors vanish and the boost weight zer...
متن کاملLorentzian Spacetimes with Constant Curvature Invariants in Three Dimensions
In this paper we study Lorentzian spacetimes for which all polynomial scalar invariants constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives are constant (CSI spacetimes) in three dimensions. We determine all such CSI metrics explicitly, and show that for every CSI with particular constant invariants there is a locally homogeneous spacetime with precisely the same constant invarian...
متن کاملAspects of noncommutative Lorentzian geometry for globally hyperbolic spacetimes
Connes’ functional formula of the Riemannian distance is generalized to the Lorentzian case using the so-called Lorentzian distance, the d’Alembert operator and the causal functions of a globally hyperbolic spacetime. As a step of the presented machinery, a proof of the almosteverywhere smoothness of the Lorentzian distance considered as a function of one of the two arguments is given. Afterwar...
متن کاملConservation Laws on Riemann-Cartan, Lorentzian and Teleparallel Spacetimes
Using a Clifford bundle formalism, we examine: (a) the strong conditions for existence of conservation laws involving only the energy-momentum and angular momentum of the matter fields on a general Riemann-Cartan spacetime and the particular cases of Lorentzian and teleparallel spacetimes and (b) the conditions for the existence of conservation laws of energy-momentum and angular momentum for t...
