Fields and Objects in Space, Time, and Space-time
The well-known distinction between field-based and object-based approaches to spatial information is generalised to arbitrary locational frameworks, including in particular space, time and space-time. We systematically explore the different ways in which these approaches can be combined, and address the relative merits of a fully four-dimensional approach as against a more conventional ‘three-p...
متن کاملMapping Receptive Fields in Space and Time
complex signals in order to guide adaptive behavior. It follows that the response properties of neurons should reflect the dynamic nature of such signals. Recently, several studies have demonstrated the existence of time-varying receptive fields in the auditory, visual and somatosensory thalamocortical pathways. The characteristics of these receptive fields suggest that they are constrained by ...
متن کاملSpace-time localisation with quantum fields
We introduce observables associated with the space-time position of a quantum point defined by the intersection of two light pulses. The time observable is canonically conjugated to the energy. Conformal symmetry of massless quantum fields is used first to build the definition of these observables and then to describe their relativistic properties under frame transformations. The transformation...
متن کاملFields of Lorentz Transformations on Space-time
Fields of Lorentz transformations on a space–time M are related to tangent bundle self isometries. In other words, a gauge transformation with respect to the −+ ++ Minkowski metric on each fibre. Any such isometry L : T (M)→ T (M) can be expressed, at least locally, as L = eF where F : T (M) → T (M) is antisymmetric with respect to the metric. We find there is a homotopy obstruction and a diffe...
متن کاملStationary space-time Gaussian fields and their time autoregressive representation
We compare two different modelling strategies for continuous space discrete time data. The rst strategy is in the spirit of Gaussian kriging. The model is a general stationary space–time Gaussian eld where the key point is the choice of a parametric form for the covariance function. In the main, covariance functions that are used are separable in space and time. Nonseparable covariance functi...
