Quadratic Lagrangians and Topology in Gauge Theory Gravity
We consider topological contributions to the action integral in a gauge theory formulation of gravity. Two topological invariants are found and are shown to arise from the scalar and pseudoscalar parts of a single integral. Neither of these action integrals contribute to the classical field equations. An identity is found for the invariants that is valid for non-symmetric Riemann tensors, gener...
متن کاملTensor Rank, Invariants, Inequalities, and Applications
Though algebraic geometry over C is often used to describe the closure of the tensors of a given size and complex rank, this variety includes tensors of both smaller and larger rank. Here we focus on the n × n × n tensors of rank n over C, which has as a dense subset the orbit of a single tensor under a natural group action. We construct polynomial invariants under this group action whose non-v...
متن کاملJet Isomorphism for Conformal Geometry
Local invariants of a metric in Riemannian geometry are quantities expressible in local coordinates in terms of the metric and its derivatives and which have an invariance property under changes of coordinates. It is a fundamental fact that such invariants may be written in terms of the curvature tensor of the metric and its covariant derivatives. In this form, they can be identified with invar...
متن کاملCovariants, Joint Invariants and the Problem of Equivalence in the Invariant Theory of Killing Tensors Defined in Pseudo-riemannian Spaces of Constant Curvature
The invariant theory of Killing tensors (ITKT) is extended by introducing the new concepts of covariants and joint invariants of (product) vector spaces of Killing tensors defined in pseudo-Riemannian spaces of constant curvature. The covariants are employed to solve the problem of classification of the orthogonal coordinate webs generated by non-trivial Killing tensors of valence two defined i...
