Conformal Geometry and the Universe
The conformal approach to Euclidean geometry introduced by David Hestenes, uses null vectors in an enlarged space to represent points. Here we show how these same techniques can be extended to the curved spacetimes relevant in cosmology. An extended example is given of the transfer of a result from 2d non-Euclidean geometry to 4d de Sitter space (the Origin Lemma in the Poincaré disc), and impl...
متن کاملConformal Geometry
Arrows in this diagram indicate input from one topic to another. Closely related topics are joined by lines. Conformal geometry is highly analogous to CR geometry, so their boxes are close together and arrows run in both directions. The left hand side of the diagram is largely algebraic. At the top of the diagram, Q-curvature and ambient metrics are specific aspects of conformal geometry, which...
متن کاملWeak uniqueness and partial regularity for the composite membrane problem
Abstract. We study the composite membrane problem in all dimensions. We prove that the minimizing solutions exhibit a weak uniqueness property which under certain conditions can be turned into a full uniqueness result. Next we study the partial regularity of the solutions to the Euler– Lagrange equation associated to the composite problem and also the regularity of the free boundary for solutio...
متن کاملThe Conformal Geometry of Billiards
This article provides an introduction to some recent results in billiard dynamics. We present results that follow from a study of compact Riemann surfaces (equipped with a holomorphic 1-form) and an SL2R action on the moduli spaces of these surfaces. We concentrate on the progress toward classification of “optimal” billiard tables, those with the simplest trajectory structure.
متن کاملThe Conformal Geometry of Billiards
In the absence of friction and other external forces, a billiard ball on a rectangular billiard table follows a predictable path. As it reflects off the sides of the table, the ball will either (1) return to its original position and direction, or (2) travel all over the table, spending equal time in regions with equal area. Because of this dichotomy, we say the rectangular table is optimal: bi...
