Symmetrically reduced Galileon equations and solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
The maximally complicated arbitrary-dimensional “maximal” Galileon field equations simplify dramatically for symmetric configurations. Thus, spherical symmetry reduces the equations from the D− to the two-dimensional Monge-Ampere equation, axial symmetry to its cubic extension etc. We can then obtain explicit solutions, such as spherical or axial waves, and relate them to the (known) general, but highly implicit, lower-D solutions.

Stability and Superluminality of Spherical DBI Galileon Solutions
The Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) Galileons are a generalization of the Galileon terms, which extend the internal Galilean symmetry to an internal relativistic symmetry, and can also be thought of as generalizations of DBI which yield second order field equations. We show that, when considered as local modifications to gravity, such as in the Solar System, there exists a region of parameter space in ...
متن کاملMultifield Galileons and Higher Codimension Branes
In the decoupling limit, the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model reduces to the theory of a scalar field π, with interactions including a specific cubic self-interaction—the Galileon term. This term, and its quartic and quintic generalizations, can be thought of as arising from a probe 3-brane in a five-dimensional bulk with Lovelock terms on the brane and in the bulk.We study multifield generalizati...
متن کاملReflection Principles and Kernels in R+ for the Biharmonic and Stokes Operators. Solutions in a Large Class of Weighted Sobolev Spaces
In this paper, we study the Stokes system in the half-space R+, with n > 2. We consider data and give solutions which live in weighted Sobolev spaces, for a whole scale of weights. We start to study the kernels of the biharmonic and Stokes operators. After the central case of the generalized solutions, we are interested in strong solutions and symmetrically in very weak solutions by means of a ...

متن کاملdrag on cylinders falling symmetrically between parallel walls
An analogue technique for the approximate solution of the biharmonic equation is used to determine the viscous drag at Reynolds number approaching zero for cylinders falling symmetrically in a liquid between parallel walls. Results obtained show good agreement with numerical solutions, with results by direct experiment and with the work of other authors. Streamlines are obtained with a maximum ...
