space-times: Decoupling GEM tensor harmonic amplitudes
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. This paper considers gauge-invariant and covariant gravitational perturbations on arbitrary vacuum locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) class II space-times. Ultimately, we derive four decoupled equations governing four specific combinations of the gravito-electromagnetic (GEM) 2-tensor harmonic amplitudes. We use the gauge-invariant and covariant 1+1+2 formalism which Clarkson and Barrett [1] developed for analysis of vacuum Schwarzschild perturbations. In particular we focus on the first-order 1+1+2 GEM system and use linear algebra techniques suitable for exploiting its structure. Consequently, we express the GEM system new 1+1+2 complex form by choosing new complex GEM tensors, which is conducive to decoupling. We then show how to derive a gauge-invariant and covariant decoupled equation governing a newly defined complex GEM 2-tensor. Finally, the GEM 2-tensor is expanded in terms of arbitrary tensor harmonics and linear algebra is used once again to decouple the system further into 4 real decoupled equations.

Abstract. This is the second in a series of papers which considers first-order gaugeinvariant and covariant gravitational perturbations to locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) class II space-times. This paper shows how to decouple a complex combination of the gravito-electromagnetic (GEM) 2-vectors with the 2-tensors describing the shear of the 2/3-sheets. An arbitrary harmonic expansion is the...

Abstract. This is the third in a series of papers which considers first-order gaugeinvariant and covariant gravitational perturbations to locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) class II space-times. In this paper we complete our analysis of the firstorder gravito-electromagnetic (GEM) system by showing how to derive three decoupled equations governing the GEM scalar fields. One of these is for th...
متن کاملTwist decomposition of nonlocal light-ray operators and harmonic tensor functions
Light–cone(LC) dominated hard scattering processes, like deep inelastic scattering and deeply virtual Compton scattering, and various hadronic wave functions, e.g., vector meson amplitudes, appearing in (semi) exclusive processes are most effectively described by the help of the nonlocal light–cone expansion [1].Thereby, the same nonlocal LC–operator, and its anomalous dimension, is related to ...
متن کاملProof of a decomposition theorem for symmetric tensors on spaces with constant curvature
In cosmological perturbation theory a first major step consists in the decomposition of the various perturbation amplitudes into scalar, vector and tensor perturbations, which mutually decouple. In performing this decomposition one uses – beside the Hodge decomposition for one-forms – an analogous decomposition of symmetric tensor fields of second rank on Riemannian manifolds with constant curv...
متن کاملHarmonic scaling laws and underlying structures
Based on the effective field theory philosophy, a universal form of the scaling laws could be easily derived with the scaling anomalies naturally clarified as the decoupling effects of underlying physics. In the novel framework, the conventional renormalization group equations and Callan-Symanzik equations could be reproduced as special cases and a number of important and difficult issues aroun...
