چکیده
The 3-metric gij and extrinsic curvature (second fundamental form) Kij are the fundamental variables describing the geometry in any space+time decomposition of the Einstein equations. (g,K) describe the local geometry of a single space-like hypersurface M , and it is then natural to describe the evolution of the space-time geometry by a 1-parameter family (g(t), K(t)), describing the local geometry of the (space-like) hypersurfaces Mt. In order to piece these hypersurfaces together, however, we must also specify the lapse N and shift vector X , which describe the relation between the time evolution vector ∂t 1 and the space-time vector n normal to the hypersurfaces:

دستهای از جوابهای دقیق گرانش با مشتقات بالاتر در چهار بعد
In this paper we consider the action of higher derivative gravity up to the second order terms in the scalars made from the Ricci scalar, Ricci and Riemann tensors. We use the Bach- Lanczos identity of the Weyl tensor in four dimensions and show that the solutions of 4-dimensional Einstein equations with cosmological constant term in vacuum, which are known as Einstein metrics, satisfy the fie...
متن کاملLinearization Stability of the Einstein Equations
1. Introduction. An important problem in general relativity is the question of whether or not a solution of the linearized Einstein field equations (relative to a given background solution) actually approximates to first order a curve of exact solutions to the nonlinear equations. Here we announce that under certain geometrical conditions on the background solution the problem can be answered a...
متن کاملSeiberg Witten Invariants and Uniformizations
We study the Seiberg Witten equations and its applications in uniformization problems. First, we show that KK ahler surfaces covered by product of disks can be characterized using negative Seiberg Witten invariant. Second, we shall use Seiberg Witten equations to construct projectively at U(2; 1) connections on Einstein manifolds and uniformize those with optimal Chern numbers. Third, we study ...
متن کاملEstimation of Sediment Transport Rate of Karun River (Iran)
Several types of sediment transport equations have been developed for estimation of the river sediment materials during the past decades. The estimated sediment from these equations is very different, especially when they applied for a specific river. Therefore, choice of an equation for estimation of the river sediment load is not an easy task. In this study 10 important sediment transport equ...
متن کاملNumerical Relativity in 3+1 Dimensions
Numerical relativity is finally approaching a state where the evolution of rather general (3+1)-dimensional data sets can be computed in order to solve the Einstein equations. After a general introduction, three topics of current interest are briefly reviewed: binary black hole mergers, the evolution of strong gravitational waves, and shift conditions for neutron star binaries.
