Nonholonomic Lorentzian Geometry on Some H-type Groups
We consider examples of the H-type groups with the natural horizontal distribution generated by the commutation relations of the group. In the contrast with the previous studies we furnish the horizontal distribution with the Lorentzian metric, which is nondegenerate metric of index 1 instead of a positive definite quadratic form. The causal character is defined. We study the reachable set by t...
متن کاملTrapped submanifolds in Lorentzian geometry
In Lorentzian geometry, the concept of trapped submanifold is introduced by means of the mean curvature vector properties. Trapped submanifolds are generalizations of the standard maximal hypersurfaces and minimal surfaces, of geodesics, and also of the trapped surfaces introduced by Penrose. Selected applications to gravitational theories are mentioned.
متن کاملSome Results on Infinite Dimensional Riemannian Geometry
In this paper we will investigate the global properties of complete Hilbert manifolds with upper and lower bounded sectional curvature. We shall prove the Focal Index lemma that will allow us to extend some classical results of finite dimensional Riemannian geometry as Rauch and Berger theorems and the Topogonov theorem in the class of manifolds in which the Hopf-Rinow theorem holds.
متن کاملStatistical Lorentzian geometry and the closeness of Lorentzian manifolds
I introduce a closeness function between causal Lorentzian geometries of finite volume and arbitrary underlying topology. The construction uses the fact that some information on the manifolds and metrics is encoded in the partial order that the causal structure of each metric induces among points randomly scattered in the corresponding manifold with uniform, finite density according to the volu...
