Perturbations Around Backgrounds with One Non-Homogeneous Dimension
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes and proves a canonical procedure to decouple perturbations and optimize their gauge around backgrounds with one non-homogeneous dimension, namely of co-homogeneity 1, while preserving locality in this dimension. Derivativelygauged fields are shown to have a purely algebraic action; they can be decoupled from the other fields through gauge-invariant re-definitions; a potential for the other fields is generated in the process; in the remaining action each gauge function eliminates one field without residual gauge. The procedure applies to spherically symmetric and to cosmological backgrounds in either General Relativity or gauge theories. The widely used “gauge invariant perturbation theory” is closely related. The supplied general proof elucidates the algebraic mechanism behind it as well as the method’s domain of validity and its assumptions.

Higher Order Perturbations Around Backgrounds with One Non-Homogeneous Dimension
It is shown that perturbations around backgrounds with one non-homogeneous dimension, namely of co-homogeneity 1, can be canonically simplified, a property that is shown to hold to any order in perturbation theory. Recalling that the problem naturally reduces to 1d, a procedure is described whereby for each gauge function in 1d two 1d fields are eliminated from the action – one is gauge and can...
متن کاملRank One Perturbations, Approximations, and Selfadjoint Extensions
of a semibounded selfadjoint operator A are studied with the help of distribution theory. It is shown that such perturbations can be defined for finite values of : even if the element . does not belong to H&1(A). Approximations of the rank one perturbations are constructed in the strong operator topology. It is proven that rank one H&2 perturbations can be defined uniquely for the homogeneous o...
متن کاملOn the Noetherian dimension of Artinian modules with homogeneous uniserial dimension
In this article, we first show that non-Noetherian Artinian uniserial modules over commutative rings, duo rings, finite $R$-algebras and right Noetherian rings are $1$-atomic exactly like $Bbb Z_{p^{infty}}$. Consequently, we show that if $R$ is a right duo (or, a right Noetherian) ring, then the Noetherian dimension of an Artinian module with homogeneous uniserial dim...
متن کاملPattern formation in one- and two-dimensional shape-space models of the immune system.
A large-scale model of the immune network is analyzed, using the shape-space formalism. In this formalism, it is assumed that the immunoglobulin receptors on B cells can be characterized by their unique portions, or idiotypes, that have shapes that can be represented in a space of a small finite dimension. Two receptors are assumed to interact to the extent that the shapes of their idiotypes ar...
متن کاملA new non-perturbative time-dependent string configuration
A time-dependent bosonic string configuration is discussed, in graviton and dilaton backgrounds, leading to Weyl-symmetry beta-functions which are homogeneous in X, to any order in α ′ . As a consequence, a string reparametrization can always be implemented, such that beta functions can be cancelled, to any order in α ′ . This non-perturbative conformal invariance is valid for any target space ...
