Pulsar Timing and Spacetime Curvature
We analyze the effect of weak field gravitational waves on the timing of pulsars, with particular attention to gauge invariance, that is, to the effects that are independent of the choice of coordinates. We find: (i) the Doppler shift cannot be separated into gauge invariant gravitational wave and kinetic contributions; (ii) a gauge invariant separation can be made for the time derivative of th...
متن کاملSpin decoherence by spacetime curvature
A decoherence mechanism caused by spacetime curvature is discussed. The spin state of a particle is shown to decohere if only the particle moves in a curved spacetime. In particular, when a particle is near the event horizon of a black hole, an extremely rapid spin decoherence occurs for an observer who is static in a Killing time, however slow the particle’s motion is.

متن کاملSpacetime Algebra and Electron Physics
This paper surveys the application of geometric algebra to the physics of electrons. It first appeared in 1996 and is reproduced here with only minor modifications. Subjects covered include non-relativistic and relativistic spinors, the Dirac equation, operators and monogenics, the Hydrogen atom, propagators and scattering theory, spin precession, tunnelling times, spin measurement, multipartic...
متن کاملComputer Algebra in Spacetime Embedding
The General Relativity Theory defines the physical spacetime as a differentiable pseudo-Riemmanian 4-dimensional manifold (Hawking & Ellis, 1973) . The spacetime is seen through the iatrin~ic geometry. However~ many interesting results have shown that the extrinsic geometry gives sometimes a bet ter understanding of the physical structure of the spacetlme. As an example of its growing interest ...
متن کاملOn product spacetime with 2-sphere of constant curvature
If we consider the spacetime manifold as product of a constant curvature 2-sphere (hypersphere) and a 2-space, then solution of the Einstein equation requires that the latter must also be of constant curvature. There exist only two solutions for classical matter distribution which are given by the Nariai (anti) metric describing an Einstein space and the Bertotti Robinson (anti) metric describi...
