At the boundary of Minkowski space

Jack Morava

备注：: Considerably revised. Link calculus is wonderful

英文摘要：

The Cayley transform compactifies Minkowski space $\M$, realized as self-adjoint $2\times2$ complex matrices following Penrose, as the unitary group $\U(2)$. Its complement is a compactification of a copy of a light-cone as it is usually drawn, constructed by adjoining a bubble or $\CP_1$ of unitary matrices with eigenvalue $\pm 1$ at the ends of a lightcone at infinity. The Brauer-Wall group of $\U(2)$ (i.e. of fields of certain kinds of graded $\Cs$-algebras, up to projective equivalence) is $\Z_2 \times \Z$, defining an interesting class of nontrivial examples of Araki-Haag-Kastler backgrounds for quantum field theories on compactified Minkowski space. The second part of this paper extends such models to link presentations of more general spin four-manifolds.

Well-posedness of the free boundary hard phase fluids in Minkowski background and its Newtonian limit

The hard phase model describes a relativistic barotropic irrotational fluid with sound speed equal to the speed of light. In this paper, we prove the local well-posedness for this model in the Minkowski background with free boundary. Moreover, we show that as the speed of light tends to infinity, the solution of this model converges to the solution of the corresponding Newtonian free boundary problem for incompressible fluids. In the appendix we explain how to extend our proof to the general barotropic fluid free boundary problem.

Nonexistence of Generalized Apparent Horizons in Minkowski Space

We establish a Positive Mass Theorem for initial data sets of the Einstein equations having generalized trapped surface boundary. In particular we answer a question posed by R. Wald concerning the existence of generalized apparent horizons in Minkowski space.

Prescribing Gauss curvature of surfaces in 3-dimensional spacetimes, Application to the Minkowski problem in the Minkowski space

We study the existence of surfaces with constant or prescribed Gauss curvature in certain Lorentzian spacetimes. We prove in particular that every (non-elementary) 3-dimensional maximal globally hyperbolic spatially compact spacetime with constant non-negative curvature is foliated by compact spacelike surfaces with constant Gauss curvature. In the constant negative curvature case, such a foliation exists outside the convex core. The existence of these foliations, together with a theorem of C. Gerhardt, yield several corollaries. For example, they allow to solve the Minkowski problem in the 3-…

Scattering by a topological defect connecting two asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes

We study the stability and the scattering properties of a spacetime with a topological defect along a spherical bubble. This bubble connects two flat spacetimes which are asymptotically Minkowski, so that the resulting universe may be regarded as containing a wormhole. Its distinguished feature is the absence of exotic matter, i.e., its matter content respects all the energy conditions. Although this wormhole is nontraversable, waves and quantum particles can tunnel between both universes. Interestingly enough, the wave equation alone does not uniquely determine the evolution of scalar waves o…

Support Theorem for the Light Ray Transform on Minkowski Spaces

We study the Light-Ray transform of integrating vector fields on the Minkowski time-space R^{1+n}, n bigger than equal 2, with the Minkowski metric. We prove a support theorem for vector fields vanishing on an open set of light-like geodesics.

The massive Feynman propagator on asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes

We consider the massive Klein-Gordon equation on asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes, in the sense that the manifold is $R^{1+d}$ and the metric approaches that of Minkowski space at infinity in a short-range way (jointly in time and space variables). In this setup we define Feynman and anti-Feynman scattering data and prove the Fredholm property of the Klein-Gordon operator with the associated Atiyah-Patodi-Singer type boundary conditions at infinite times. We then construct a parametrix (with compact remainder terms) for the Fredholm problem and prove that it is also a Feynman parametrix in …

Lie algebraic deformations of Minkowski space with Poincare algebra

We present Lie-algebraic deformations of Minkowski space with undeformed Poincaré algebra. These deformations interpolate between Snyder and $κ$-Minkowski space. We find realizations of noncommutative coordinates in terms of commutative coordinates and derivatives. Invariants and tensors with respect to Lorentz algebra are discussed. A general mapping from $κ$-deformed Snyder to Snyder space is constructed. Deformed Leibniz rule, the coproduct structure and star product are found. Special cases, particularly Snyder and $κ$-Minkowski in Maggiore-type realizations are discussed.
