On Complex Structures in Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
Complex numbers enter fundamental physics in at least two rather distinct ways. They are needed in quantum theories to make linear differential operators into Hermitian observables. Complex structures appear also, through Hodge duality, in vector and spinor spaces associated with space-time. This paper reviews some of these notions. Charge conjugation in multidimensional geometries and the appearance of Cauchy-Riemann structures in Lorentz manifolds with a congruence of null geodesics without shear are presented in considerable detail.

Radiative heat transfer: many-body effects
Heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation is one of the common methods of energy transfer between objects. Using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we have studied the effect of particle arrangement in the transmission of radiative heat in many-body systems. In order to show the effect of the structure morphology on the collective properties, the radiative heat transfer is studied and the re...
متن کاملConcerning the Effect of a Viscoelastic Foundation on the Dynamic Stability of a Pipeline System Conveying an Incompressible Fluid
In this paper, we present an analytical method for solving a well-posed boundary value problem of mathematical physics governing the vibration characteristics of an internal flow propelled fluid-structure interaction where the pipeline segment is idealized as an elastic hollow beam conveying an incompressible fluid on a viscoelastic foundation. The effect of Coriolis and damping forces on the o...
متن کاملElectrical and optical properties of a small capped (5, 0) zigzag Carbon nanotube by B, N, Ge and Sn atoms: DFT theoretical calculation
In this study we investigate the effect of atoms such as B, N, Ge and Sn on the optical and the electrical properties of capped (5, 0) zigzag carbon nanotube, using DFT calculation method. These elements were attached to the one end of the carbon nanotube. We considered four different structure designs as possible candidates for a p-n junction device. The electrical properties of these structur...

In this paper, we have studied the electrical properties of the randomly distributed metallic (Co and Fe) nano/ micro wires on Silicon substrate. Deposition was carried out potentiostatically into the pores of the track-etch polycarbonate membrane spin coated onto the Si substrate. Spin coated films were irradiated with 150MeV Ni (+11) ions at a fluence of 8E7 ions/cm2, followed by UV irradiati...
