Non-regular |2|-graded geometries I: general theory
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper analyses non-regular |2|-graded geometries, and show that they share many of the properties of regular geometries – the existence of a unique normal Cartan connection encoding the structure, the harmonic curvature as obstruction to flatness of the geometry, the existence of the first two BGG splitting operators and of (in most cases) invariant prolongations for the standard Tractor bundle T . Finally, it investigates whether these geometries are determined entirely by the distribution H = T −1 and concludes that this is generically the case, up to a finite choice, whenever H(g, g) vanishes in non-negative homogeneity.

Non-regular |2|-graded geometries II: classifying geometries, and generic six-in-nine distributions
Complementing the previous paper in the series, this paper classifies |2|-graded parabolic geometries, listing their important properties: the group G0, the graded tangent bundle gr(T ) and its algebräıc bracket, the relevant cohomology spaces and the standard Tractor bundle T . Several of these geometries are then explored in more detail, and the paper ends with a case study that that partiall...
متن کاملPartial Geometries
The main purpose of this paper is to survey recent results on partial geometries. I t is now twenty years since Bose [1] introduced the concept of a partial geometry in order to study large cliques in strongly regular graphs. Several strong necessary conditions for the existence of strongly regular graphs also have consequences for the existence question for partial geometries. We give the nece...
متن کاملBending analysis of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic functionally graded nanobeam based on first order shear deformation theory
In this research, analysis of nonlocal magneto-electro-thermo-elastic of a functionally graded nanobeamdue to magneto-electro-elastic loads has been done. In order to formulate the problem the Timoshenko theory of beams is utilized. The principle of virtual work, Hamilton’s principle as well as nonlocal magneto-electro-thermo-elastic relations has been recruited to derive the governing eq...
متن کاملOn Graded K-theory, Elliptic Operators and the Functional Calculus
Let A be a graded C∗-algebra. We characterize Kasparov’s K-theory group K̂0(A) in terms of graded ∗-homomorphisms by proving a general converse to the functional calculus theorem for self-adjoint regular operators on graded Hilbert modules. An application to the index theory of elliptic differential operators on smooth closed manifolds and asymptotic morphisms is discussed.
متن کاملThermal Stability of Thin Rectangular Plates with Variable Thickness Made of Functionally Graded Materials
In this research, thermal buckling of thin rectangular plate made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) with linear varying thickness is considered. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The supporting condition of all edges of such a plate is simply supported. ...
