Spacetime Defects: Torsion Loops
Spacetimes with everywhere vanishing curvature tensor, but with tor-sion different from zero only on world sheets that represent closed loops in ordinary space are presented, also defects along open curves with end points at infinity are studied. The case of defects along timelike loops is also considered and the geodesics in these spaces are briefly discussed.
متن کاملOn variations in teleparallelism theories
The variation procedure on a teleparallel manifold is studied. The main problem is the non-commutativity of the variation with the Hodge dual map. We establish certain useful formulas for variations and restate the master formula due to Hehl and his collaborates. Our approach is different and sometimes easier for applications. By introducing the technique of the variational matrix we find neces...
متن کاملSpacetime Defects: von Kármán vortex street like configurations
A special arrangement of spinning strings with dislocations similar to a von Kármán vortex street is studied. We numerically solve the geodesic equations for the special case of a test particle moving along two infinite rows of pure dislocations and also discuss the case of pure spinning defects. PACS numbers: 04.20 Jb, 04.50.+h, 11.10.Lm, 47.32.Cc Conical singularities or spacetime defects are...
متن کاملSpacetime and Matter
A spacetime theory of matter, based on general relativity, is shown to provide, as a special case, standard electroweak theory.
متن کاملLimits and Spacetime Singularities
We give a covariant characterisation of the Penrose plane wave limit: the plane wave profile matrix A(u) is the restriction of the null geodesic deviation matrix (curvature tensor) of the original spacetime metric to the null geodesic, evaluated in a comoving frame. We also consider the Penrose limits of spacetime singularities and show that for a large class of black hole, cosmological and nul...
