Covariant approach to the conformal dynamical equivalence in astrophysics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use covariant techniques to examine the implications of the dynamical equivalence between geodesic motions and adiabatic hydrodynamic flows. Assuming that the metrics of a geodesically and a non-geodesically moving fluid are conformally related, we calculate and compare their mass densities. The density difference is then expressed in terms of the fundamental physical quantities of the fluid, such as its energy and isotropic pressure. Both the relativistic and the non-relativistic case are examined and their differences identified. Our analysis suggests that observational determinations of astrophysical masses based on purely Keplerian motions could underestimate the available amount of matter.

Admissible Vectors of a Covariant Representation of a Dynamical System
In this paper, we introduce admissible vectors of covariant representations of a dynamical system which are extensions of the usual ones, and compare them with each other. Also, we give some sufficient conditions for a vector to be admissible vector of a covariant pair of a dynamical system. In addition, we show the existence of Parseval frames for some special subspaces of $L^2(G)$ related to...
متن کاملDynamic equivalence relation on the fuzzy measure algebras
The main goal of the present paper is to extend classical results from the measure theory and dynamical systems to the fuzzy subset setting. In this paper, the notion of dynamic equivalence relation is introduced and then it is proved that this relation is an equivalence relation. Also, a new metric on the collection of all equivalence classes is introduced and it is proved that this metric is...
متن کاملDilations for $C^ast$-dynamical systems with abelian groups on Hilbert $C^ast$-modules
In this paper we investigate the dilations of completely positive definite representations of (C^ast)-dynamical systems with abelian groups on Hilbert (C^ast)-modules. We show that if ((mathcal{A}, G,alpha)) is a (C^ast)-dynamical system with (G) an abelian group, then every completely positive definite covariant representation ((pi,varphi,E)) of ((mathcal{A}, G,alpha)) on a Hilbert ...
متن کاملSpacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
متن کاملA New Perspective on Covariant Canonical Gravity
We present a new approach to the covariant canonical formulation of EinsteinCartan gravity that preserves the full Lorentz group as the local gauge group. The method exploits lessons learned from gravity in 2+1 dimensions regarding the relation between gravity and a general gauge theory. The dynamical variables are simply the frame field and the spin-connection pulled-back to the hypersurface, ...
