Comments on Strongly Torsion-free Groups
In the present note, we discuss certain observations made by the author in February 2009 concerning strongly torsion-free profinite groups [cf. [Mzk2], Definition 1.1, (iii)]. These observations grew out of e-mail correspondences between the author, Akio Tamagawa, and Marco Boggi, as well as oral discussions between the author and Akio Tamagawa. Definition 1. Let G be a profinite group. (i) We ...
متن کاملTorsion formulation of gravity
We make it precise what it means to have a connection with torsion as solution of the Einstein equations. While locally the theory remains the same, the new formulation allows for topologies that would have been excluded in the standard formulation of gravity. In this formulation it is possible to couple arbitrary torsion to gauge fields without breaking the gauge invariance.
متن کاملComments on and Comments on Comments on Verlinde’s paper “On the Origin of Gravity and the Laws of Newton”
We offer some, hopefully clarifying, comments on Verlinde’s recent claim that gravity is an entropic force. A suitable identification of quantities shows that both formulations of Newtonian gravity, the classical and the thermodynamical one, are actually equivalent. It turns out that some additional assumptions made by Verlinde are unnecessary. However, when it comes to General Relativity there...
متن کاملEuclidean 2D Gravity with Torsion
Closing a gap in the literature on the subject, the local solutions of 2D-gravity with torsion are given for Euclidean signature. For the topology of a cylinder the system is quantized in a Dirac approach.
متن کاملDetecting torsion from LISA and teleparallel gravity
Torsion detection from totally skew symmetric torsion waves in the context of teleparallel gravity is discussed. A gedanken experiment to detect Cartan’s contortion based on a circle of particles not necessarily spinning is proposed. It is shown that by making use of previous value of contortion at the surface of the Earth computed by Nitsch of 10−24s−1 a relative displacement of 10−21 is obtai...
