چکیده
Abstract Historically, a great deal of attention has been addressed to the question what it would take test experimentally metrical structure spacetime. Arguably, however, consideration this at expense comparable investigations into other structural features In article, we critique and expand substantially upon an article by Hadley (Hadley in Class Quantum Gravity, 19:4565–4571, 2002), which constitutes one best-known paper-length studies orientability so doing, seek clarify number matters remain unclear wake Hadley’s thereby allowing literature on topic progress. More positively, also present, compare, evaluate potential approaches testing spacetime have arisen recent physics literature.

The orientability of spacetime
Contrary to established beliefs, spacetime may not be time-orientable. By considering an experimental test of time orientability it is shown that a failure of time-orientability of a spacetime region would be indistinguishable from a particle antiparticle annihilation event.

متن کاملTesting Orientability for Matroids is NP-complete
Matroids and oriented matroids are fundamental objects in combinatorial geometry. While matroids model the behavior of vector configurations over general fields, oriented matroids model the behavior of vector configurations over ordered fields. For every oriented matroid there is a corresponding underlying oriented matroid. This paper addresses the question how difficult it is to algorithmicall...
متن کاملShape Orientability
In this paper we consider some questions related to the orientation of shapes. We introduce as a new shape feature shape orientability, i.e. the degree to which a shape has distinct (but not necessarily unique) orientation. A new method is described for measuring shape orientability, and has several desirable properties. In particular, unlike the standard moment based measure of elongation, it ...
متن کاملOrientability of Real Toric Varieties
We characterize the orientability of an abstract real toric variety as well as the orientability of a toric subvariety of a sphere. We also determine the number of components of the smooth locus of a toric variety. These results are proven for an extension of the Davis-Januskiewicz notion of a small cover to singular spaces. We characterize the orientability of toric varieties associated to pos...
متن کاملOrientability and Diffusion Maps.
One of the main objectives in the analysis of a high dimensional large data set is to learn its geometric and topological structure. Even though the data itself is parameterized as a point cloud in a high dimensional ambient space ℝ(p), the correlation between parameters often suggests the "manifold assumption" that the data points are distributed on (or near) a low dimensional Riemannian manif...
