چکیده

A new 8-dimensional conformal gauging avoids the unphysical size change, third order gravitational field equations, and auxiliary fields that prevent taking the conformal group as a fundamental symmetry. We give the structure equations, gauge transformations and intrinsic metric structure for the new biconformal spaces. We prove that a torsion-free biconformal space with exact Weyl form, closed dilational curvature and trace-free spacetime curvature admits a sub-bundle of vanishing Weyl form homeomorphic to the Whitney sum bundle of the tangent bundle and the bundle of orthonormal Lorentz frames over 4dimensional spacetime. Conversely, any 4-dimensional spacetime extends uniquely to such a normal biconformal space. The Einstein equation holds iff the biconformal basis is orthonormal. Unconstrained antisymmetric trace of the spacetime curvature provides a closed 2-form, independent of the Weyl vector, consistently interpretable as the electromagnetic field. The trace of the spacetime co-torsion decouples from gravitational sources and serves as electromagnetic source.

Biconformal Matter Actions

We extend 2n-dim biconformal gauge theory by including Lorentzscalar matter fields of arbitrary conformal weight. We show that for a massless scalar field of conformal weight zero in a torsion-free biconformal geometry, the solution is determined by the Einstein equation on an ndim submanifold, with the stress-energy tensor of the scalar field as source. The matter field satisfies the n-dim Kle...

Measures of fuzzy semicompactness in $L$-fuzzy topological spaces

In this paper, the notion of fuzzy semicompactness degrees isintroduced in $L$-fuzzy topological spaces by means of theimplication operation of $L$. Characterizations of fuzzysemicompactness degrees in $L$-fuzzy topological spaces  areobtained, and some properties of fuzzy semicompactness degrees areresearched.

Fixed point theorems for generalized quasi-contractions in cone $b$-metric spaces over Banach algebras without the assumption of normality with applications

In this paper, we introduce the concept of generalized quasi-contractions in the setting of cone $b$-metric spaces over Banach algebras. By omitting the  assumption of normality we establish common fixed point theorems for the generalized quasi-contractions  with the spectral radius $r(lambda)$ of the quasi-contractive constant vector $lambda$ satisfying $r(lambda)in [0,frac{1}{s})$  in the set...
