Why Odd-space and Odd-time Dimensions in Even-dimensional Spaces? *
We are answering the question why 4-dimensional space has the metric 1+ 3 by making a general argument from a certain type of equations of motion linear in momentum for any spin (except spin zero) in any even dimension d. All known free equations for non-zero spin for massless fields belong to this type of equations. Requiring Hermiticity1 of the equations of motion operator ∗NBI-HE-00-26 1This...
متن کاملSpherical 7-Designs in 2n-Dimensional Euclidean Space
We consider a finite subgroup Θn of the group O(N ) of orthogonal matrices, where N = 2n, n = 1, 2 . . . . This group was defined in [7]. We use it in this paper to construct spherical designs in 2n-dimensional Euclidean space RN . We prove that representations of the group Θn on spaces of harmonic polynomials of degrees 1, 2 and 3 are irreducible. This and the earlier results [1–3] imply that ...
متن کاملImpulsive spherical gravitational waves
Penrose’s identification with warp provides the general framework for constructing the continuous form of impulsive gravitational wave metrics. We present the 2-component spinor formalism for the derivation of the full family of impulsive spherical gravitational wave metrics which brings out the power in identification with warp and leads to the simplest derivation of exact solutions. These sol...
متن کاملVector bundles over three-dimensional spherical space forms
In this work we consider the class of the compact connected three-dimensional manifolds with positive constant curvature, also known as the three-dimensional spherical space forms. These spaces, or subclasses like generalized quaternions or lens spaces, appear in many different contexts in topology and geometry, and have been completely classified; it is thus natural to ask if we can also count...
متن کاملHarmonic Morphisms from Three-dimensional Euclidean and Spherical Space Forms
This paper gives a description of all harmonic morphisms from a threedimensional non-simply-connected Euclidean and spherical space form to a surface, by extending the work of Baird-Wood [4, 5] who dealt with the simply-connected case; namely we show that any such harmonic morphism is the composition of a “standard” harmonic morphism and a weakly conformal map. To complete the description we li...
