仿射对称向量的张量推广

Tensor Generalizations of Affine Symmetry Vectors

Samuel A. Cook, Tevian Dray

摘要:

提出了仿射对称张量的定义,它以(共形)Killing张量推广(共形)Killing向量的相同方式推广了仿射向量的概念。证明了这些张量的一个恒等式,它给出了张量在曲率张量方面的二阶导数,推广了仿射向量的一个著名恒等式。此外,该定义导致了位似张量的良好定义。这些类型的张量之间的包含关系展示。阐明了仿射对称张量与测地线偏差方程解之间的关系,再次推广了Killing张量的已知结果。

英文摘要:

A definition is suggested for affine symmetry tensors, which generalize the notion of affine vectors in the same way that (conformal) Killing tensors generalize (conformal) Killing vectors. An identity for these tensors is proved, which gives the second derivative of the tensor in terms of the curvature tensor, generalizing a well-known identity for affine vectors. Additionally, the definition leads to a good definition of homothetic tensors. The inclusion relations between these types of tensors are exhibited. The relationship between affine symmetry tensors and solutions to the equation of geodesic deviation is clarified, again extending known results about Killing tensors.
