$n$ -三维$pp$ -波的环境度量

Ambient metrics for $n$-dimensional $pp$-waves

Thomas Leistner, Pawel Nurowski

摘要:

在$n$维共形$pp$ -波存在的情况下,我们给出了它的Festhiman-Graham-ambient度规的一个显式公式。在偶数维中,我们明确地计算了阻塞。此外,我们描述了所有的四维$pp$波是巴赫平坦的,并给出了一大类巴赫平坦的例子,共形棉花平坦,但不是共形爱因斯坦。最后,作为一个应用,我们使用所获得的环境度量,偶数维$pp$ -波有消失的临界$Q$ -曲率。

英文摘要:

We provide an explicit formula for the Fefferman-Graham-ambient metric of an $n$-dimensional conformal $pp$-wave in those cases where it exists. In even dimensions we calculate the obstruction explicitly. Furthermore, we describe all 4-dimensional $pp$-waves that are Bach-flat, and give a large class of Bach-flat examples which are conformally Cotton-flat, but not conformally Einstein. Finally, as an application, we use the obtained ambient metric to show that even-dimensional $pp$-waves have vanishing critical $Q$-curvature.
