The induced representation of the isometry group of the Euclidean Taub-NUT space and new spherical harmonics
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown that the SO(3) isometries of the Euclidean Taub-NUT space combine a linear three-dimensional representation with one induced by a SO(2) subgroup, giving the transformation law of the fourth coordinate under rotations. This explains the special form of the angular momentum operator on this manifold which leads to a new type of spherical harmonics and spinors.

Harmonic Space Construction of the Quaternionic Taub-NUT metric
We present details of the harmonic space construction of a quaternionic extension of the four-dimensional Taub-NUT metric. As the main merit of the harmonic space approach, the metric is obtained in an explicit form following a generic set of rules. It exhibits SU(2) × U(1) isometry group and depends on two parameters, TaubNUT ‘mass’ and the cosmological constant. We consider several limiting c...

The Gross-Perry-Sorkin spacetime, formed by the Euclidean Taub-NUT space with the time trivially added, is the appropriate background of the Dirac magnetic monopole without an explicit mass term. One remarks that there exists a very simple five-dimensional metric of spacetimes carrying massive magnetic monopoles that is an exact solution of the vacuum Einstein equations. Moreover, the same isom...
متن کاملParallel Transport Frame in 4 -dimensional Euclidean Space
In this work, we give parallel transport frame of a curve and we introduce the relations between the frame and Frenet frame of the curve in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. The relation which is well known in Euclidean 3-space is generalized for the rst time in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. Then we obtain the condition for spherical curves using the parallel transport frame of them. The conditi...
متن کاملLow dimensional flat manifolds with some classes of Finsler metric
Flat Riemannian manifolds are (up to isometry) quotient spaces of the Euclidean space R^n over a Bieberbach group and there are an exact classification of of them in 2 and 3 dimensions. In this paper, two classes of flat Finslerian manifolds are stuided and classified in dimensions 2 and 3.
متن کاملThe Geodesic Motion in Taub-nut Spinning Space
The geodesic motion of pseudo-classical spinning particles in the Euclidean Taub-NUT space is analysed. The generalized Killing equations for spinning space are investigated and the constants of motion are derived in terms of the solutions of these equations. A simple exact solution, corresponding to trajectories lying on a cone, is given. E-mail address: [email protected]
