Maxwell Fields & Shear-Free Null Geodesic Congruences
We study and report on the class of vacuum Maxwell fields in Minkowski space that possess a non-degenerate, diverging, principle null vector field (null eigenvector field of the Maxwell tensor) that is tangent to a shear-free null geodesics congruence. These congruences can be either surface forming (the tangent vectors being proportional to gradients) or not, i.e., the twisting congruences. In...
متن کاملNull Geodesic Congruences, Asymptotically-Flat Spacetimes and Their Physical Interpretation
A priori, there is nothing very special about shear-free or asymptotically shear-free null geodesic congruences. Surprisingly, however, they turn out to possess a large number of fascinating geometric properties and to be closely related, in the context of general relativity, to a variety of physically significant effects. It is the purpose of this paper to try to fully develop these issues. Th...
متن کاملVacuum Non-Expanding Horizons and Shear-Free Null Geodesic Congruences
We investigate the geometry of a particular class of null surfaces in space-time called vacuum Non-Expanding Horizons (NEHs). Using the spin-coefficient equation, we provide a complete description of the horizon geometry, as well as fixing a canonical choice of null tetrad and coordinates on a NEH. By looking for particular classes of null geodesic congruences which live exterior to NEHs but ha...
متن کاملNull-form Estimates and Nonlinear Waves
We present bilinear, trilinear as well as quadrilinear null-form estimates arising in connection with the Wave Maps problem. These estimates fit into the program of S. Klainerman instigated in papers such as [4], [1]. While the latter used the framework of Xs,b-spaces, our estimates involve the Banach spaces introduced by D. Tataru in [13] and further developed by T. Tao in [12]. In this paper ...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
