چکیده
In this article we construct and discuss several aspects of the two-component spinorial formalism for six-dimensional spacetimes, in which chiral spinors are represented by objects with two quaternionic components spin group is identified $SL(2;\mathbb{H})$, a double covering Lorentz six dimensions. We present fundamental representations show how vectors, bivectors, 3-vectors such formalism. also complexify spacetime, so that other signatures can be tackled. argue that, general, built from tensor products $SL(2;\mathbb{H})$ do not carry representation group, due to non-commutativity quaternions. The Lie algebra obtained its connection $SO(5,1)$ presented, providing physical interpretation elements $SL(2;\mathbb{H})$. Finally, bridge between spacetimes four-component over complex field comes fact Euclidean spaces given $SU(4)$.

Internal time formalism for spacetimes with two Killing vectors.
The Hamiltonian structure of spacetimes with two commuting Killing vector fields is analyzed for the purpose of addressing the various problems of time that arise in canonical gravity. Two specific models are considered: (i) cylindrically symmetric spacetimes, and (ii) toroidally symmetric spacetimes, which respectively involve open and closed universe boundary conditions. For each model canoni...
متن کاملQuantum Inequalities in Curved Two Dimensional Spacetimes
In quantum field theory there exist states for which the energy density is negative. It is important that these negative energy densities satisfy constraints, such as quantum inequalities, to minimize possible violations of causality, the second law of thermodynamics, and cosmic censorship. In this paper I show that conformally invariant scalar and Dirac fields satisfy quantum inequalities in t...
متن کاملThe Causal Structure of Two-Dimensional Spacetimes
We investigate the causal structure of (1 + 1)-dimensional spacetimes. For two sets of field equations we show that at least locally any spacetime is a solution for an appropriate choice of the matter fields. For the theories under consideration we investigate how smoothness of their black hole solutions affects time orientation. We show that if an analog to Hawking’s area theorem holds in two ...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of two different immobilization methods in patient positioning in cranial radiotherapy. The six-dimensional (6D) target localization accuracy of using a dedicated stereotactic mask was compared with that of a conventional head mask by the ExacTrac system. Material and Methods: ...
متن کاملSegre types of symmetric two-tensors in n-dimensional spacetimes
Three propositions about Jordan matrices are proved and applied to algebraically classify the Ricci tensor in n-dimensional Kaluza-Klein-type spacetimes. We show that the possible Segre types are [1, 1 . . . 1], [21 . . . 1], [31 . . . 1], [zz̄1 . . . 1] and degeneracies thereof. A set of canonical forms for the Segre types is obtained in terms of semi-null bases of vectors.
