Maxwell equations and the redundant gauge degree of freedom
On transformation to the Fourier space (k, ω), the partial differential Maxwell equations simplify to algebraic equations, and the Helmholtz theorem of vector calculus reduces to vector algebraic projections. Maxwell equations and their solutions can then be separated readily into longitudinal and transverse components relative to the direction of the wave vector k. The concepts of wave motion,...
متن کاملTorsion formulation of gravity
We make it precise what it means to have a connection with torsion as solution of the Einstein equations. While locally the theory remains the same, the new formulation allows for topologies that would have been excluded in the standard formulation of gravity. In this formulation it is possible to couple arbitrary torsion to gauge fields without breaking the gauge invariance.
متن کاملGauge-Based Tip Position Control of a New Three-Degree-of-Freedom Flexible Robot
Flexible robots have given rise to numerous investigations, and their use is easily justified in two main cases: (1) when the weight of the robot has to be minimized and (2) when collisions of the robot with the environment are foreseen, as a flexible lightweight robot delivers less impact energy. Much work has been done by different authors on the position control of flexible robots using feed...
متن کاملSliding Mode Control for Single-degree-of-freedom Nonlinear Structures
The occurrence of catastrophic earthquakes necessitates further researches in the structure engineering for retrofitting construction structures. In this paper, the application of the active control in the structures’ seismic response has been addressed. A single degree of freedom nonlinear structure has been studied. The nonlinear dynamic of the structure is considered in which, the nonlinear ...
متن کاملNew Gauge Symmetry in Gravity and the Evanescent Role of Torsion
If the Einstein-Hilbert action LEH ∝ R is re-expressed in Riemann-Cartan spacetime using the gauge fields of translations, the vierbein field hμ, and the gauge field of local Lorentz transformations, the spin connection Aμα β , there exists a new gauge symmetry which permits reshuffling the torsion, partially or totally, into the Cartan curvature term of the Einstein tensor, and back, via a new...
