The Symmetry Group of Lamé’s System and the Associated Guichard Nets for Conformally Flat Hypersurfaces
We consider conformally flat hypersurfaces in four dimensional space forms with their associated Guichard nets and Lamé’s system of equations. We show that the symmetry group of the Lamé’s system, satisfying Guichard condition, is given by translations and dilations in the independent variables and dilations in the dependents variables. We obtain the solutions which are invariant under the acti...
متن کاملClosed Hypersurfaces of Prescribed Mean Curvature in Locally Conformally Flat Riemannian Manifolds
We prove the existence of smooth closed hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature homeomorphic to S for small n, n ≤ 6, provided there are barriers. 0. Introduction In a complete (n+1)-dimensional manifold N we want to find closed hypersurfaces M of prescribed mean curvature. To be more precise, let Ω be a connected open subset of N , f ∈ C(Ω̄), then we look for a closed hypersurface M ⊂ Ω such...
متن کاملConformally invariant bending energy for hypersurfaces
The most general conformally invariant bending energy of a closed four-dimensional surface, polynomial in the extrinsic curvature and its derivatives, is constructed. This invariance manifests itself as a set of constraints on the corresponding stress tensor. If the topology is fixed, there are three independent polynomial invariants: two of these are the straighforward quartic analogues of the...
متن کاملKaluza-klein Reduction of Conformally Flat Spaces
A “conformal tensor” is constructed from the metric tensor gMN (or Vielbein e A M ) and is invariant against Weyl rescaling gMN → egMN (or eM → eeM ). Moreover, it vanishes if and only if the space is conformally flat, gMN = e ηMN (or e A M = eδ M ). In dimension four or greater the conformal tensor is the Weyl tensor. In three dimensions the Weyl tensor vanishes identically, while the Cotton t...
متن کاملTwistors in Conformally Flat Einstein Four-manifolds
Abstract. This paper studies the two-component spinor form of massive spin2 potentials in conformally flat Einstein four-manifolds. Following earlier work in the literature, a nonvanishing cosmological constant makes it necessary to introduce a supercovariant derivative operator. The analysis of supergauge transformations of primary and secondary potentials for spin 3 2 shows that the gauge fre...
