Hermitian Geometry and Complex Space-Time
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a complex Hermitian manifold of complex dimensions four with a Hermitian metric and a Chern connection. It is shown that the action that determines the dynamics of the metric is unique, provided that the linearized Einstein action coupled to an antisymmetric tensor is obtained, in the limit when the imaginary coordinates vanish. The unique action is of the Chern-Simons type when expressed in terms of the Kähler form. The antisymmetric tensor field has gauge transformations coming from diffeomorphism invariance in the complex directions. The equations of motion must be supplemented by boundary conditions imposed on the Hermitian metric to give, in the limit of vanishing imaginary coordinates, the low-energy effective action for a curved metric coupled to an antisymmetric tensor. ∗ email: [email protected]

Symmetry breaking via internal geometry
Gauge theories commonly employ complex vector-valued fields to reduce symmetry groups through the Higgs mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The geometry of the internal space V is tacitly assumed to be the metric geometry of some static, nondynamical hermitian metric k. In this paper, we consider G-principal bundle gauge theories, where G is a subgroup of U(V ,k) (the unitary transforma...
متن کاملOn R−complex Finsler spaces
In the present paper we submit for study a new class of Finsler spaces. Through restricting the homogeneity condition from the definition of a complex Finsler metric to real scalars, λ ∈ R, is obtained a wider class of complex spaces, called by us the R−complex Finsler spaces. Two subclasses are taken in consideration: the Hermitian and the non-Hermitian R−complex Finsler spaces. In an R−comple...
متن کاملHermitian metric on quantum spheres
The paper deal with non-commutative geometry. The notion of quantumspheres was introduced by podles. Here we define the quantum hermitianmetric on the quantum spaces and find it for the quantum spheres.
متن کاملThe Möbius Geometry of Hypersurfaces
It is a familiar fact in several complex variables that the hermitian quadratic form Lr,p is invariant under biholomorphism. (Restricted to the complex tangent space, this is exactly the Levi form.) It is less familiar that the non-hermitian form Qr,p is invariant under Möbius transformation when restricted to the complex tangent space. This is established in Section 2. Our main result is the f...
متن کاملGauss-bonnet Theorem and Crofton Type Formulas in Complex Space Forms
We give an expression, in terms of the so-called Hermitian intrinsic volumes, for the measure of the set of complex r-planes intersecting a regular domain in any complex space form. Moreover, we obtain two different expressions for the Gauss-BonnetChern formula in complex space forms. One of them expresses the Gauss curvature integral in terms of the Euler characteristic and some Hermitian intr...
