三维时空的等价性

Equivalence of three-dimensional spacetimes

F. C. Sousa, J. B. Fonseca, C. Romero

摘要:

本文给出了三维重力场中等价问题的一种解决方法,并提出了一种获得局部几何坐标不变描述的实用方法。该方法是对广义相对论时空的Karlhede不变量分类的一种非平凡的改进。局部几何是完全确定的曲率张量和有限数量的协变导数的框架中的分量的度量是常数。结果在三维时空中的实二分量旋量的框架下给出,其中给出了Ricci旋量和Cotton-York旋量的代数分类,并确定了它们的各向同性群和标准形.作为应用,我们讨论了三维广义相对论中的Goedel型时空。给出了局部时空齐性的条件,研究了三维Goedel型时空的等价性,并将所得结果与以往四维Goedel型时空的结果进行了比较.

英文摘要:

A solution to the equivalence problem in three-dimensional gravity is given and a practically useful method to obtain a coordinate invariant description of local geometry is presented. The method is a nontrivial adaptation of Karlhede invariant classification of spacetimes of general relativity. The local geometry is completely determined by the curvature tensor and a finite number of its covariant derivatives in a frame where the components of the metric are constants. The results are presented in the framework of real two-component spinors in three-dimensional spacetimes, where the algebraic classifications of the Ricci and Cotton-York spinors are given and their isotropy groups and canonical forms are determined. As an application we discuss Goedel-type spacetimes in three-dimensional General Relativity. The conditions for local space and time homogeneity are derived and the equivalence of three-dimensional Goedel-type spacetimes is studied and the results are compared with previous works on four-dimensional Goedel-type spacetimes.
