Self-Gravitating Stellar Collapse: Explicit Geodesics and Path Integration
We extend the work of Oppenheimer and Synder to model the gravitational collapse of a star to a black hole by including quantum mechanical effects. We first derive closed-form solutions for classical paths followed by a particle on the surface of the collapsing star in Schwarzschild and Kruskal coordinates for space-like, time-like, and light-like geodesics. We next present an application of th...
متن کاملGeodesics with One Self-intersection, and Other Stories
In this note we show that for any hyperbolic surface S, the number of geodesics of length bounded above by L in the mapping class group orbit of a fixed closed geodesic γ with a single double point is asymptotic to Ldim(Teichmuller space of S.). Since closed geodesics with one double point fall into a finite number of M≀⌈(S) orbits, we get the same asympotic estimate for the number of such geod...
متن کاملAngular Self-intersections for Closed Geodesics on Surfaces
In this note we consider asymptotic results for self-interections of closed geodesics on surfaces for which the angle of the intersection occurs in a given arc. We do this by extending Bonahon’s definition of interesction forms for surfaces.
متن کاملSelf-avoiding walks crossing a square
We study a restricted class of self-avoiding walks (SAW) which start at the origin (0, 0), end at (L,L), and are entirely contained in the square [0, L]× [0, L] on the square lattice Z. The number of distinct walks is known to grow as λ 2+o(L2). We estimate λ = 1.744550± 0.000005 as well as obtaining strict upper and lower bounds, 1.628 < λ < 1.782. We give exact results for the number of SAW o...
متن کاملSelf-intersections of Random Geodesics on Negatively Curved Surfaces
We study the fluctuations of self-intersection counts of random geodesic segments of length t on a compact, negatively curved surface in the limit of large t. If the initial direction vector of the geodesic is chosen according to the Liouville measure, then it is not difficult to show that the number N(t) of self-intersections by time t grows like κt2, where κ = κM is a positive constant depend...
