Particle with torsion on 3d null-curves
نویسنده
چکیده
The search of Lagrangians, describing spinning particles, both massive and massless, has a long story. The conventional approach in this direction consists in the extension of the initial spacetime by auxiliary odd/even coordinates which equip a system with spinning degrees of freedom. There is another, less developed approach, where the spinning particle systems are described by the Lagrangians, which are formulated in the initial space-time, but depend on higher derivatives. The aesthetically attractive point of the latter approach is that spinning degrees of freedom are encoded in the geometry of trajectories. The Poincaré and reparametrization invariance require actions to be of the form

Pseudoholomorphic Curves in Nearly Kahler Cp 3
We study pseudoholomorphic curves in the nearly Kalher CP. It is shown that a class of curves called null-torsion are in one to one correspondence with the integrals of a holomorphic contact system on the usual Kahler CP studied by Bryant. Browing Bryant’s result we get plenty of such curves. Rational curves are shown to be either vertical or horizontal or null-torsion. Both horizontal and null...
متن کاملGeometrical particle models on 3D null curves
The simplest (2+1)-dimensional mechanical systems associated with light-like curves, already studied by Nersessian and Ramos, are reconsidered. The action is linear in the curvature of the particle path and the moduli spaces of solutions are completely exhibited in 3-dimensional Minkowski background, even when the action is not proportional to the pseudo-arc length of the trajectory. PACS numbe...
متن کاملFrom torsion theories to closure operators and factorization systems
Torsion theories are here extended to categories equipped with an ideal of 'null morphisms', or equivalently a full subcategory of 'null objects'. Instances of this extension include closure operators viewed as generalised torsion theories in a 'category of pairs', and factorization systems viewed as torsion theories in a category of morphisms. The first point has essentially been treated in [15].
متن کاملCurvature and Torsion Estimators for 3D Curves
We propose a new torsion estimator for spatial curves based on results of discrete geometry that works in O(n log n) time. We also present a curvature estimator for spatial curves. Our methods use the 3D extension of the 2D blurred segment notion [1]. These estimators can naturally work with disconnected curves.
متن کاملk−type partially null and pseudo null slant helices in Minkowski 4-space
We introduce the notion of a k-type slant helix in Minkowski space E1. For partially null and pseudo null curves in E1, we express some characterizations in terms of their curvature and torsion functions. AMS subject classifications: 53C40, 53C50
