Wave equations on q-Minkowski space

چکیده
We give a systematic account of the exterior algebra of forms on q-Minkowski space, introducing the q-exterior derivative, q-Hodge star operator, q-coderivative, q-LaplaceBeltrami operator and the q-Lie-derivative. With these tools at hand, we then give a detailed exposition of the q-d’Alembert and q-Maxwell equation. For both equations we present a q-momentum-indexed family of plane wave solutions. We also discuss the gauge freedom of the q-Maxwell field and give a q-spinor analysis of the q-field strength tensor.

Global existence for the Einstein vacuum equations in wave coordinates
We prove global stability of Minkowski space for the Einstein vacuum equations in harmonic (wave) coordinate gauge for the set of restricted data coinciding with the Schwarzschild solution in the neighborhood of space-like infinity. The result contradicts previous beliefs that wave coordinates are ”unstable in the large” and provides an alternative approach to the stability problem originally s...
متن کاملDifferential calculus on q - Minkowski space 1
We wish to report here on a recent approach [1] to the non-commutative calculus on q-Minkowski space which is based on the reflection equations (RE) with no spectral parameter. These are considered as the expression of the invariance (under the coaction of the q-Lorentz group) of the commutation properties which define the different q-Minkowski algebras. This approach also allows us to discuss ...
متن کاملAlmost Global Existence for Some Semilinear Wave Equations
Our results and approach are related to previous work in the non-obstacle case. In particular, in [2], almost global existence was shown for general, quadratic quasilinear wave equations in Minkowski space, using fully the invariance properties of the wave operator under translations, spatial rotations, scaling, and Lorentz boosts . Subsequently, in [5], the almost global existence of certain d...
متن کاملConcerning the Strauss Conjecture and Almost Global Existence for Nonlinear Dirichlet-wave Equations in 4-dimensions
The purpose of this paper is to show that certain sharp existence theorems for small amplitude nonlinear wave equations in the Minkowski space setting extend to the case of nonlinear Dirichlet-wave equations outside of obstacles. Our main result is that the obstacle version of the Strauss conjecture holds when the spatial dimension is equal to 4. The corresponding result for 4-dimensional Minko...
متن کاملAlmost Global Existence for Quasilinear Wave Equations in Three Space Dimensions
This article studies almost global existence for solutions of quadratically quasilinear systems of wave equations in three space dimensions. The approach here uses only the classical invariance of the wave operator under translations, spatial rotations, and scaling. Using these techniques we can handle wave equations in Minkowski space or Dirichletwave equations in the exterior of a smooth, sta...
