Vector Fields and Transfers
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a smooth fibre bundle F i −→ E p −→ B where F is a compact manifold with or without boundary, a vertical vector field V gives rise to a transfer τ V as an S-map. Our goal is to show these transfers satisfy an equation analogous to one that the index of vector fields satisfy. This equation gives results involving equivariant vector fields as well as a characterization of those transfers defined by vector fields in terms of the ordinary Euler-Poincare transfers.

Spaces of Local Vector Fields
Vector fields defined only over a part of a manifold give rise to indexes and to transfers. These local vector fields form a topological space whose relation to configuration spaces was studied by Dusa McDuff, and whose higher dimensional homotopy and homology promise invariants of parametrized families of local vector fields. We show that the assignment of the transfer to the vector field give...
متن کاملRelativistic models for quasielastic (e,e') at large momentum transfers.
Inclusive quasielastic response functions are calculated for electron scattering in a relativistic model including momentum dependent scalar and vector mean fields. The momentum dependence of the mean fields is taken from Dirac optical fits to proton nucleus scattering and is important in describing data at momentum transfers of 1 GeV/c or larger. Our simple model is applicable for quasielastic...
متن کاملHarmonicity and Minimality of Vector Fields on Lorentzian Lie Groups
We consider four-dimensional lie groups equipped with left-invariant Lorentzian Einstein metrics, and determine the harmonicity properties of vector fields on these spaces. In some cases, all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields. We also classify vector fields defining harmonic maps, and calculate explicitly the energy of t...
متن کاملGeometrical Aspects of Cosmic Magnetic Fields
We discuss how the vector nature of magnetic fields, and the geometrical interpretation of gravity introduced by general relativity, lead to a special coupling between magnetism and spacetime curvature. This magneto-geometrical interaction effectively transfers the tension properties of the field into the spacetime fabric, triggering a variety of effects with potentially far-reaching implications.
متن کاملConcurrent vector fields on Finsler spaces
In this paper, we prove that a non-Riemannian isotropic Berwald metric or a non-Riemannian (α,β) -metric admits no concurrent vector fields. We also prove that an L-reducible Finsler metric admitting a concurrent vector field reduces to a Landsberg metric.In this paper, we prove that a non-Riemannian isotropic Berwald metric or a non-Riemannian (α,β) -metric admits no concurrent vector fi...
