N ov 2 00 8 Geodesic Congruences in the Palatini f ( R ) Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We shall investigate the properties of a congruence of geodesics in the framework of Palatini f(R) theories. We shall evaluate the modified geodesic deviation equation and the Raychaudhuri’s equation and show that f(R) Palatini theories do not necessarily lead to attractive forces. Also we shall study energy condition for f(R) Palatini gravity via a perturbative analysis of the Raychaudhuri’s equation. PACS numbers: 04.20.-q, 04.50.+h

An action principle is described which unifies general relativity and topological field theory. An additional degree of freedom is introduced, and depending on the value it takes the theory has solutions that reduce it to 1) general relativity in Palatini form, 2) general relativity in the Ashtekar form, 3) F ∧ F theory for SO(5) and 4) BF theory for SO(5). This theory then makes it possible to...

We define an ending lamination for a Weil-Petersson geodesic ray. Despite the lack of a natural visual boundary for the Weil-Petersson metric [Br2], these ending laminations provide an effective boundary theory that encodes much of its asymptotic CAT(0) geometry. In particular, we prove an ending lamination theorem (Theorem 1.1) for the full-measure set of rays that recur to the thick part, and...

We show that a natural complexification and a mild generalization of the idea of completeness guarantee geodesic completeness of CliftonPohl torus; we explicitely compute all of its geodesics.
