Closed Timelike Curves and Holography in Compact Plane Waves
We discuss plane wave backgrounds of string theory and their relation to Gödel–like universes. This involves a twisted compactification along the direction of propagation of the wave, which induces closed timelike curves. We show, however, that no such curves are geodesic. The particle geodesics and the preferred holographic screens we find are qualitatively different from those in the Gödel–li...
متن کاملCan billiard eigenstates be approximated by superpositions of plane waves ?
The plane wave decomposition method (PWDM) is one of the most popular strategies for numerical solution of the quantum billiard problem. The method is based on the assumption that each eigenstate in a billiard can be approximated by a superposition of plane waves at a given energy. By the classical results on the theory of differential operators this can indeed be justified for billiards in con...
متن کاملReal Plane Algebraic Curves
We study real algebraic plane curves, at an elementary level, using as little algebra as possible. Both cases, affine and projective, are addressed. A real curve is infinite, finite or empty according to the fact that a minimal polynomial for the curve is indefinite, semi–definite nondefinite or definite. We present a discussion about isolated points. By means of the operator, these points can ...
متن کاملOn submaximal plane curves
We prove that a submaximal curve in P has sequence of multiplicities (μ, ν, . . . , ν), with μ < sν for every integer s with (s− 1)(s+ 2) ≥ 6.76( r − 1). This note is a sequel to [10], where a specialization method was developed in order to bound the degree of singular plane curves. The problem under consideration is, given a system of multiplicities (m) = (m1,m2, . . . ,mr) ∈ Z and points p1, ...
متن کاملDuality of Plane Curves
The dual of an algebraic curve C in RP defined by the polynomial equation f(x, y, z) = 0 is the locus of points ( ∂f ∂x (a, b, c) : ∂f ∂y (a, b, c) : ∂f ∂z (a, b, c) ) where (a : b : c) ∈ C. The dual can alternatively be defined geometrically as the image under reciprocation of the envelope of tangent lines to the curve. It is known that the dual of an algebraic curve is also an algebraic curve...
