Spacetime Defects: Torsion Loops
Spacetimes with everywhere vanishing curvature tensor, but with tor-sion different from zero only on world sheets that represent closed loops in ordinary space are presented, also defects along open curves with end points at infinity are studied. The case of defects along timelike loops is also considered and the geodesics in these spaces are briefly discussed.
متن کاملSpacetime Defects: von Kármán vortex street like configurations
A special arrangement of spinning strings with dislocations similar to a von Kármán vortex street is studied. We numerically solve the geodesic equations for the special case of a test particle moving along two infinite rows of pure dislocations and also discuss the case of pure spinning defects. PACS numbers: 04.20 Jb, 04.50.+h, 11.10.Lm, 47.32.Cc Conical singularities or spacetime defects are...
متن کاملSpacetime encodings. I. A spacetime reconstruction problem
This paper explores features of an idealized mathematical machine (algorithm) that would be capable of reconstructing the gravitational nature (the multipolar structure or spacetime metric) of a compact object, by observing gravitational radiation emitted by a small object that orbits and spirals into it. An outline is given of the mathematical developments that must be carried out in order to ...
متن کاملSpacetime Structuralism
In this essay, I consider the ontological status of spacetime from the points of view of the standard tensor formalism and three alternatives: twistor theory, Einstein algebras, and geometric algebra. I briefly review how classical field theories can be formulated in each of these formalisms, and indicate how this suggests a structural realist interpretation of spacetime.
متن کاملSpacetime Foam
Spacetime is composed of a fluctuating arrangement of bubbles or loops called spacetime foam, or quantum foam. We use the holographic principle to deduce its structure, and show that the result is consistent with gedanken experiments involving spacetime measurements. We propose to use laserbased atom interferometry techniques to look for spacetime fluctuations. Our analysis makes it clear that ...
