关于次洛伦兹流形的Alexandrov拓扑

On the Alexandrov Topology of sub-Lorentzian Manifolds

Irina Markina, Stephan Wojtowytsch

摘要:

众所周知,在黎曼几何和次黎曼几何中,流形上的度量张量定义了一个距离函数。在洛伦兹几何中,它提供的不是距离函数,而是因果关系和洛伦兹时间分离函数。两者都导致了亚历山德罗夫拓扑的定义,这与时空的强因果性的性质有关。我们研究了三种可能的方法来定义亚洛伦兹流形上的亚历山德罗夫拓扑,它们通常给出不同的拓扑,但在洛伦兹流形上是一致的。我们研究了它们之间的关系,流形的原始拓扑结构以及它们与因果关系的联系。

英文摘要:

It is commonly known that in Riemannian and sub-Riemannian Geometry, the metric tensor on a manifold defines a distance function. In Lorentzian Geometry, instead of a distance function it provides causal relations and the Lorentzian time-separation function. Both lead to the definition of the Alexandrov topology, which is linked to the property of strong causality of a space-time. We studied three possible ways to define the Alexandrov topology on sub-Lorentzian manifolds, which usually give different topologies, but agree in the Lorentzian case. We investigated their relationships to each other and the manifold's original topology and their link to causality.
