Efficient Regularization of Squared Curvature
Curvature has received increased attention as an important alternative to length based regularization in computer vision. In contrast to length, it preserves elongated structures and fine details. Existing approaches are either inefficient, or have low angular resolution and yield results with strong block artifacts. We derive a new model for computing squared curvature based on integral geomet...
متن کاملPositivity of Curvature-Squared Corrections in Gravity.
We study the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term as the leading higher-curvature correction to pure Einstein gravity. Assuming a tree-level ultraviolet completion free of ghosts or tachyons, we prove that the GB term has a nonnegative coefficient in dimensions greater than 4. Our result follows from unitarity of the spectral representation for a general ultraviolet completion of the GB term.
متن کامل4D gravity on a brane from bulk higher-curvature terms
We study a gravity model where a tensionful codimension-one threebrane is embedded in a bulk with infinite transverse length. We find that 4D gravity is induced on the brane already at the classical level if we include higher-curvature (Gauss-Bonnet) terms in the bulk. Consistency conditions appear to require a negative brane tension as well as a negative coupling for the higher-curvature terms.
متن کاملOn the Mass Formula and Wigner and Curvature Energy Terms
The efficiency of different mass formulas derived from the liquid drop model including or not the curvature energy, the Wigner term and different powers of the relative neutron excess I has been determined by a least square fitting procedure to the experimental atomic masses assuming a constant R0,charge/A 1/3 ratio. The Wigner term and the curvature energy can be used independently to improve ...
متن کاملOn Junction Conditions in Gravity Theories with Higher Curvature Terms
We discuss the junction conditions in the context of the Randall-Sundrum model with the Gauss-Bonnet interaction. We consider the Z2 symmetric model where the brane is embedded in an AdS5 bulk, as well as a model without Z2 symmetry in which the brane (in this case called by tradition “shell”) separates two metrically different AdS5 regions. We show that the Israel junction conditions across th...
