Symmetric Spaces with Conformal Symmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider an involutive automorphism of the conformal algebra and the resulting symmetric space. We display a new action of the conformal group which gives rise to this space. The space has an intrinsic symplectic structure, a group-invariant metric and connection, and serves as the model space for a new conformal gauge theory. ∗Electronic-mail: [email protected]

v 1 2 8 M ay 1 99 9 A new conformal duality of spherically symmetric space – times
A contribution linear in r to the gravitational potential can be created by a suitable conformal duality transformation: the conformal factor is 1/(1 + r) and r will be replaced by r/(1 + r), where r is the Schwarzschild radial coordinate. Thus, every spherically symmetric solution of conformal Weyl gravity is conformally related to an Einstein space. This result finally resolves a long controv...

Consequences of the existence of conformal vector fields in (locally) symmetric and conformal symmetric spaces, have been obtained. An attempt has been made for a physical interpretation of the consequences in the framework of general relativity.

Axisymmetric spacetimes with a conformal symmetry are studied and it is shown that, if there is no further conformal symmetry, the axial Killing vector and the conformal Killing vector must commute. As a direct consequence, in con-formally stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes, no restriction is made by assuming that the axial symmetry and the conformal timelike symmetry commute. Furthermore, ...
متن کاملOptimization of Conformal Mapping Functions used in Developing Closed-Form Solutions for Underground Structures with Conventional cross Sections
Elastic solutions applicable to single underground openings usually suffer from geometry related simplification. Most tunnel shapes possess two axes of symmetry while a wide range of geometries used in tunneling practice involve only one symmetry axis. D-shape or horse-shoe shape tunnels and others with arched roof and floor are examples of the later category (one symmetry axis). In the present...
