چکیده
It is well-known that gauge fields defined on manifolds with spatial boundaries support states localized at the boundary. In this talk, we show how similar states arise in canonical gravity and discuss their physical relevance using their analogy to quantum Hall effect.

Conformal Edge Currents in Chern-simons Theories
We develop elementary canonical methods for the quantization of abelian and nonabelian Chern-Simons actions using well known ideas in gauge theories and quantum gravity. Our approach does not involve choice of gauge or clever manipulations of functional integrals. When the spatial slice is a disc, it yields Witten’s edge states carrying a representation of the Kac-Moody algebra. The canonical e...
متن کاملEdge detection in gravity field of the Gheshm sedimentary basin
Edge detection and edge enhancement techniques play an essential role in interpreting potential field data. This paper describes the application of various edge detection techniques to gravity data in order to delineate the edges of subsurface structures. The edge detection methods comprise analytic signal, total horizontal derivative (THDR), theta angle, tilt angle, hyperbolic of tilt angle (H...
متن کاملComparison of derivative-based methods by normalized standard deviation approach for edge detection of gravity anomalies
This paper describes the application of the so-called normalized standard deviation (NSTD) method to detect edges of gravity anomalies. Using derivative-based methods enhances the anomaly edges, leading to significant improvement of the interpretation of the geological features. There are many methods for enhancing the edges, most of which are high-pass filters based on the horizontal or vertic...
متن کاملInterpretation of gravity anomalies via terracing method of the profile curvature
One of the main goals of interpretation of gravity data is to detect location and edges of the anomalies. Edge detection of gravity anomalies is carried out by different methods. Terracing of the data is one of the approaches that help the interpreter to achieve appropriate results of edge detection. This goal becomes a complex task when the gravity anomalies have smooth borders due to gradual ...
متن کاملA New Heuristic Algorithm for Drawing Binary Trees within Arbitrary Polygons Based on Center of Gravity
Graphs have enormous usage in software engineering, network and electrical engineering. In fact graphs drawing is a geometrically representation of information. Among graphs, trees are concentrated because of their ability in hierarchical extension as well as processing VLSI circuit. Many algorithms have been proposed for drawing binary trees within polygons. However these algorithms generate b...
