A spacetime characterization of the Kerr metric
We obtain a characterization of the Kerr metric among stationary, asymptotically flat, vacuum spacetimes, which extends the characterization in terms of the Simon tensor (defined only in the manifold of trajectories) to the whole spacetime. More precisely, we define a three index tensor on any spacetime with a Killing field, which vanishes identically for Kerr and which coincides in the strictl...
متن کاملSpacetime encodings. I. A spacetime reconstruction problem
This paper explores features of an idealized mathematical machine (algorithm) that would be capable of reconstructing the gravitational nature (the multipolar structure or spacetime metric) of a compact object, by observing gravitational radiation emitted by a small object that orbits and spirals into it. An outline is given of the mathematical developments that must be carried out in order to ...
متن کاملSpacetime Structuralism
In this essay, I consider the ontological status of spacetime from the points of view of the standard tensor formalism and three alternatives: twistor theory, Einstein algebras, and geometric algebra. I briefly review how classical field theories can be formulated in each of these formalisms, and indicate how this suggests a structural realist interpretation of spacetime.
متن کاملSpacetime Foam
Spacetime is composed of a fluctuating arrangement of bubbles or loops called spacetime foam, or quantum foam. We use the holographic principle to deduce its structure, and show that the result is consistent with gedanken experiments involving spacetime measurements. We propose to use laserbased atom interferometry techniques to look for spacetime fluctuations. Our analysis makes it clear that ...
متن کاملSpacetime Calculus
This book provides a synopsis of spacetime calculus with applications to classical electrodynamics, quantum theory and gravitation. The calculus is a coordinate-free mathematical language enabling a unified treatment of all these topics and bringing new insights and methods to each of them.
