Dual spacetimes, Mach’s Principle and topological defects
By resolving the Riemann curvature relative to a unit timelike vector into electric and magnetic parts, we define a duality transformation which interchanges active and passive electric parts. It implies interchange of roles of Ricci and Einstein curvatures. Further by modifying the vacuum/flat equation we construct spacetimes dual to the Schwarzschild solution and flat spacetime. The dual spac...
متن کاملMagneto-Electro-Thermo-Mechanical Response of a Multiferroic Doubly-Curved Nano-Shell
Free vibration of a simply-supported magneto-electro-elastic doubly-curved nano-shell is studied based on the first-order shear deformation theory in the presence of the rotary inertia effect. To model the electric and magnetic behaviors of the nano-shell, Gauss’s laws for electrostatics and magneto statics are used. By using Navier’s method, the partial differential equations of motion are red...
متن کاملOn the Renormalization Procedure for Quantum Fields with Modified Dispersion Relations in Curved Spacetimes
We review our recent results on the renormalization procedure for a free quantum scalar field with modified dispersion relations in curved spacetimes. For dispersion relations containing up to 2s powers of the spatial momentum, the subtraction necessary to renormalize 〈φ〉 and 〈Tμν〉 depends on s. We first describe our previous analysis for spatially flat Friedman-Robertson-Walker and Bianchi typ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic fields in curved spacetimes
We study the evolution of electromagnetic fields in curved spacetimes and calculate the exact wave equations of the associated electric and magnetic components. Our analysis applies to a general spacetime, is fully covariant and isolates all the sources that affect the propagation of these waves. Among others, we explicitly show how the different parts of the gravitational field act as driving ...
متن کاملElectric-Magnetic Duality and Deformations of Three-Dimensional Conformal Field Theories
SL(2,Z) duality transformations in asymptotically AdS4 x S7 act nontrivially on the three-dimensional superconformal field theory of coincident M2-branes on the boundary. We show how S-duality acts away from the IR fixed point.We develop a systematic method to holographically obtain the deformations of the boundary CFT and show how electric-magnetic duality relates different deformations. We an...
