A Generalized Clairaut’s Theorem in Minkowski Space

چکیده
In Euclidean space, the geodesics on a surface of revolution can be characterized by means of Clairaut’s theorem, which essentially says that the geodesics are curves of fixed angular momentum. A similar result is known for three dimensional Minkowski space for timelike geodesics on surfaces of revolution about the time axis. Here, we extend this result to consider generalizations of surfaces of revolution to those surfaces generated by any one-parameter subgroup of the Lorentz group. We also observe that the geodesic flow in this case is easily seen to be a completely integrable system, and give the explicit formulae for the timelike geodesics.

Clairaut’s Theorem in Minkowski Space
Abstract. We consider some aspects of the geometry of surfaces of revolution in three-dimensional Minkowski space. First, we show that Clairaut’s theorem, which gives a well-known characterization of geodesics on a surface of revolution in Euclidean space, has an analogous result in three-dimensional Minkowski space. We then illustrate the significant differences between the two cases which ari...
متن کاملGENERALIZATION OF TITCHMARSH'S THEOREM FOR THE DUNKL TRANSFORM IN THE SPACE $L^P(R)$
In this paper, using a generalized Dunkl translation operator, we obtain a generalization of Titchmarsh's Theorem for the Dunkl transform for functions satisfying the$(psi,p)$-Lipschitz Dunkl condition in the space $mathrm{L}_{p,alpha}=mathrm{L}^{p}(mathbb{R},|x|^{2alpha+1}dx)$, where $alpha>-frac{1}{2}$.
متن کاملFIXED POINT THEOREM OF KANNAN-TYPE MAPPINGS IN GENERALIZED FUZZY METRIC SPACES
Binayak et al in [1] proved a fixed point of generalized Kannan type-mappings in generalized Menger spaces. In this paper we extend gen- eralized Kannan-type mappings in generalized fuzzy metric spaces. Then we prove a fixed point theorem of this kind of mapping in generalized fuzzy metric spaces. Finally we present an example of our main result.

متن کاملm-Projections involving Minkowski inverse and range symmetric property in Minkowski space
In this paper we study the impact of Minkowski metric matrix on a projection in the Minkowski Space M along with their basic algebraic and geometric properties.The relation between the m-projections and the Minkowski inverse of a matrix A in the minkowski space M is derived. In the remaining portion commutativity of Minkowski inverse in Minkowski Space M is analyzed in terms of m-projections as...
