چکیده

We show that for U (1)-symmetric spacetimes on S 3 × R a constant of motion associated with the well known Geroch transformation, a functional K[h ij , π ij ], quadratic in gravitational momenta, is strictly positive in an open subset of the set of all U (1)-symmetric initial data, and therefore not weakly zero. The Mixmaster initial data appear to be on the boundary of that set. We calculate the constant of motion perturbatively for the Mixmaster spacetime and find it to be proportional to the minisuperspace Hamiltonian to the first order in the Misner anisotropy variables, i.e. weakly zero. Assuming that K is exactly zero for the Mixmaster spacetime, we show that Geroch's transformation , when applied to the Mixmaster spacetime, gives a new U (1)-symmetric solution of the vacuum Einstein equations, globally defined on S 2 × S 1 × R, which is non-homogeneous and presumably exhibits Mixmaster-like complicated dynamical behavior.

Hunting Local Mixmaster Dynamics in Spatially Inhomogeneous Cosmologies

Heuristic arguments and numerical simulations support the Belinskii et al (BKL) claim that the approach to the singularity in generic gravitational collapse is characterized by local Mixmaster dynamics (LMD). Here, one way to identify LMD in collapsing spatially inhomogeneous cosmologies is explored. By writing the metric of one spacetime in the standard variables of another, signatures for LMD...

The mixmaster universe: A chaotic Farey tale

When gravitational fields are at their strongest, the evolution of spacetime is thought to be highly erratic. Over the past decade debate has raged over whether this evolution can be classified as chaotic. The debate has centered on the homogeneous but anisotropic mixmaster universe. A definite resolution has been lacking as the techniques used to study the mixmaster dynamics yield observer dep...

The Symmetries of Equivalent Lagrangian Systems and Constants of Motion

In this paper Mathematical structure of time-dependent Lagrangian systems and their symmetries are extended and the explicit relation between constants of motion and infinitesimal symmetries of time-dependent Lagrangian systems are considered. Starting point is time-independent Lagrangian systems ,then we extend mathematical concepts of these systems such as equivalent lagrangian systems to th...

Motion Transformation by Physically Based Spacetime Optimization

Automatic generation of realistic human motion has been a long-standing problem in computer graphics. This thesis introduces a novel algorithm for transforming character animation sequences that preserves essential physical properties of the motion. The algorithm maintains realism of the original motion sequence without sacrificing the full user control of the editing process. We use the spacet...

6 F eb 2 00 8 New explicit spike solution – non - local component of the generalized Mixmaster attractor

By applying a standard solution-generating transformation to an arbitrary vacuum Bianchi type II solution, one generates a new solution with spikes commonly observed in numerical simulations. It is conjectured that the spike solutions are part of the generalized Mixmaster attractor.
