FORM GEOMETRY AND THE ’tHOOFT-PLEBANSKI ACTION
Riemannian geometry in four dimensions, including Einstein’s equations, can be described by means of a connection that annihilates a triad of two-forms (rather than a tetrad of vector fields). Our treatment of the conformal factor of the metric differs from the original presentation of this result, due to ’tHooft. In the action the conformal factor now appears as a field to be varied.

متن کاملPoisson Geometry with a 3-form Background
We study a modification of Poisson geometry by a closed 3-form. Just as for ordinary Poisson structures, these “twisted” Poisson structures are conveniently described as Dirac structures in suitable Courant algebroids. The additive group of 2-forms acts on twisted Poisson structures and permits them to be seen as glued from ordinary Poisson structures defined on local patches. We conclude with ...
متن کاملApproximating Free-form Geometry with Height Fields for Manufacturing
We consider the problem of manufacturing free-form geometry with classical manufacturing techniques, such as mold casting or 3-axis milling. We determine a set of constraints that are necessary for manufacturability and then decompose and, if necessary, deform the shape to satisfy the constraints per segment. We show that many objects can be generated from a small number of (mold-)pieces if sli...
متن کاملClosed-Form Position Analysis of Variable Geometry Trusses
Variable geometry trusses are composed, in general, of unit cells which can be modeled as bars connected by spherical joints. Under mild conditions, it has been shown that the only feasible cells are topologically equivalent to bipyramids. Unfortunately, using standard formulations, the closed-form position analysis of bipyramids is not a trivial task. Actually, it has only been achieved for bi...
متن کاملOn some geometry and equivalence classes of normal form games
Equivalence classes of normal form games are de ned using the discontinuities of correspondences of standard equilibrium concepts like correlated Nash and robust equilibrium or risk dominance and rationalizability Resulting equivalence classes are fully character ized and compared across di erent equilibrium concepts for games larger games are also considered It is argued that the proce dure le...
