Asymptotically Flat Initial Data for Gravitational Wave Spacetimes, Conformal Compactification and Conformal Symmetry
We study the utilization of conformal compactification within the conformal approach to solving the constraints of general relativity for asymptotically flat initial data. After a general discussion of the framework, particular attention is paid to simplifications that arise when restricting to a class of initial data which have a certain U(1)×U(1) conformal symmetry.
متن کاملBranes in AdS and pp-wave spacetimes
We find half supersymmetric AdS-embeddings in AdS5 × S5 corresponding to all quarter BPS orthogonal intersections of D3-branes with Dp-branes. A particular case is the Karch-Randall embedding AdS4 × S2. We explicitly prove that these embeddings are supersymmetric by showing that the kappa symmetry projections are compatible with half of the target space Killing spinors and argue that all these ...
متن کاملChaotic motion in pp-wave spacetimes
We investigate geodesics in non-homogeneous vacuum pp-wave solutions and demonstrate their chaotic behavior by rigorous analytic and numerical methods. For the particular class of solutions considered, distinct “outcomes” (channels to infinity) are identified, and it is shown that the boundary between different outcomes has a fractal structure. This seems to be the first example of chaos in exa...
متن کاملConformal fields in the pp-wave limit
The pp-wave (Penrose limit) in conformal field theory can be viewed as a special contraction of the unitary representations of the conformal group. We study the kinematics of conformal fields in this limit in a geometric approach where the effect of the contraction can be visualized as an expansion of space-time. We discuss the two common models of space-time as carrier spaces for conformal fie...
متن کاملSpacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
