Volume-preserving deformation using generalized barycentric coordinates
The cage-based deformation of a 3D object through generalized barycentric coordinates is a simple, e cient, e ective and hence widely used shape manipulation scheme. Editing vertices of the polyhedral cage induces a smooth space deformation of its interior; the vertices thus become control handles of the nal deformation. However, in some application elds, as medicine, constrained volumepreservi...

The definition of the covariant space-time averaging scheme for the objects (tensors, geometric objects, etc.) on differentiable metric manifolds with a volume n-form, which has been proposed for the formulation of macroscopic gravity, is analyzed. An overview of the space-time averaging procedure in Minkowski spacetime is given and comparison between this averaging scheme and that adopted in m...
متن کاملSymmetry-seeking spacetime coordinates
One of the fundamental problems in numerically constructing spacetimes without symmetries (3D numerical relativity) is the choice of suitable coordinates. The task is not just to find a good coordinate system for a known spacetime, but the spacetime is not actually known when the calculation begins, so that one has to construct the coordinate system along with the spacetime. In principle, once ...
متن کاملSchwarzschild Spacetime without Coordinates
We discuss how to construct the full Schwarzschild (Kruskal-Szekeres) spacetime in one swoop by using the bundle of orthonormal Lorentz frames and the Einstein equation without the use of coordinates. We never have to write down the Kruskal-Szekeres or an equivalent form of the metric. email: [email protected]
متن کاملSpacetime in Semiclassical Gravity
This article will summarize selected aspects of the semiclassical theory of gravity, which involves a classical gravitational field coupled to quantum matter fields. Among the issues which will be discussed are the role of quantum effects in black hole physics and in cosmology, the effects of quantum violations of the classical energy conditions, and inequalities which constrain the extent of s...
