三球面的Laplacian本征模

Laplacian eigenmodes for the three-Sphere

Lachieze-Rey Marc

摘要:

对应于相同本征值$lambda_k = -k (k +2)$的三个球面$S^3$上的拉普拉斯算子的本征函数的向量空间$V^k$具有维数$(k + 1)^2$。在回顾了$V^k$的标准基之后,我们引入了一个新的基B3,它是由含有零向量的特殊齐次调和多项式约化为$S^3$而构造的。我们给出了该基与通常的超球谐函数之间的变换律。由于$S^3$和SO(4)的四元数表示,我们能够明确地写出B3的变换性质,从而在SO(4)的任意旋转下,任何本征模的变换性质。这就提供了选择$ V^k$的那些函数的可能性,这些函数在SO(4)的选定旋转下保持不变。当旋转是球面空间$S^3/Gamma$的完整变换时,给出了计算$S^3/Gamma$本征模的一种方法。我们说明我们的方法(重新)推导本征模式的透镜和棱镜空间。在即将发表的论文中,我们推导出十二面体空间的本征模。

英文摘要:

The vector space $V^k$ of the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the three sphere $S^3$, corresponding to the same eigenvalue $lambda_k = -k (k +2)$, has dimension $(k + 1)^2$. After recalling the standard bases for $V^k$, we introduce a new basis B3, constructed from the reductions to $S^3$ of peculiar homogeneous harmonic polynomia involving null vectors. We give the transformation laws between this basis and the usual hyper-spherical harmonics. Thanks to the quaternionic representations of $S^3$ and SO(4), we are able to write explicitely the transformation properties of B3, and thus of any eigenmode, under an arbitrary rotation of SO(4). This offers the possibility to select those functions of $ V^k$ which remain invariant under a chosen rotation of SO(4). When the rotation is an holonomy transfor- mation of a spherical space $S^3/Gamma$, this gives a method to calculates the eigenmodes of $S^3/Gamma$, which remains an open problem in general. We illustrate our method by (re-)deriving the eigenmodes of lens and prism space. In a forthcoming paper, we derive the eigenmodes of dodecahedral pace.
