Anti De Sitter Space, Squashed and Stretched
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the Lorentzian analogues of the squashed 3-sphere, namely 2+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space squashed or stretched along fibres that are either spacelike or timelike. The causal structure, and the property of being an Einstein–Weyl space, depend critically on whether we squash or stretch. We argue that squashing, and stretching, completely destroys the conformal boundary of the unsquashed spacetime. As a physical application we observe that the near horizon geometry of the extremal Kerr black hole, at constant Boyer–Lindquist latitude, is anti-de Sitter space squashed along compactified spacelike fibres.

Spacelike hypersurfaces with constant $S$ or $K$ in de Sitter space or anti-de Sitter space
Let $M^n$ be an $n(ngeq 3)$-dimensional complete connected and oriented spacelike hypersurface in a de Sitter space or an anti-de Sitter space, $S$ and $K$ be the squared norm of the second fundamental form and Gauss-Kronecker curvature of $M^n$. If $S$ or $K$ is constant, nonzero and $M^n$ has two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple, we obtain some charact...
متن کاملSuper algebra and Harmonic Oscillator in Anti de Sitter space
The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...
متن کاملSailing from Warped AdS3 to Warped dS3 in Topologically Massive Gravity
Three-dimensional warped anti-de Sitter space in topologically massive gravity with a negative cosmological constant has been proposed to be holographically dual to a two-dimensional conformal field theory. We extend this proposal to both positive and vanishing values of the cosmological constant where stretched warped anti-de Sitter space is found to be a solution. For positive cosmological co...
متن کاملGödel metric as a squashed anti–de Sitter geometry
We show that the non flat 2+1 dimensional factor of Gödel’s metric can be seen as belonging to a one parameter family of squashed anti–de Sitter geometries, with or without causal pathologies. We give a global algebraic isometric embedding of these metrics in 4+3 or 3+4 dimensional flat spaces, thereby illustrating the occurrence of the closed timelike curves. Mâıtre de Recherches F.N.R.S.
