Covariant Time Derivatives for Dynamical Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a unified derivation of covariant time derivatives, which transform as tensors under a time-dependent coordinate change. Such derivatives are essential for formulating physical laws in a frame-independent manner. Three specific derivatives are described: convective, corotational, and directional. The covariance is made explicit by working in arbitrary time-dependent coordinates, instead of restricting to Eulerian (fixed) or Lagrangian (material) coordinates. The commutator of covariant time and space derivatives is interpreted in terms of a time-curvature that shares many properties of the Riemann curvature tensor, and reflects nontrivial time-dependence of the metric. PACS numbers: 83.10.Bb, 05.45.-a, 47.50.+d

Dilations for $C^ast$-dynamical systems with abelian groups on Hilbert $C^ast$-modules
In this paper we investigate the dilations of completely positive definite representations of (C^ast)-dynamical systems with abelian groups on Hilbert (C^ast)-modules. We show that if ((mathcal{A}, G,alpha)) is a (C^ast)-dynamical system with (G) an abelian group, then every completely positive definite covariant representation ((pi,varphi,E)) of ((mathcal{A}, G,alpha)) on a Hilbert ...
متن کاملAdmissible Vectors of a Covariant Representation of a Dynamical System
In this paper, we introduce admissible vectors of covariant representations of a dynamical system which are extensions of the usual ones, and compare them with each other. Also, we give some sufficient conditions for a vector to be admissible vector of a covariant pair of a dynamical system. In addition, we show the existence of Parseval frames for some special subspaces of $L^2(G)$ related to...
متن کاملThe Kzb Equations on Riemann Surfaces
In this paper, based on the author’s lectures at the 1995 les Houches Summer school, explicit expressions for the Friedan–Shenker connection on the vector bundle of WZW conformal blocks on the moduli space of curves with tangent vectors at n marked points are given. The covariant derivatives are expressed in terms of “dynamical r-matrices”, a notion borrowed from integrable systems. The case of...

In this paper, we are discuss about the issue of synchronization for singular complex dynamical networks with Markovian jumping parameters and additive time-varying delays through pinning control by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy theory.The complex dynamical systems consist of m nodes and the systems switch from one mode to another, a Markovian chain with glorious transition probabili...

We provide a Hamiltonian analysis of the Mixmaster Universe dynamics on the base of a standard Arnowitt-Deser-Misner Hamiltonian approach, showing the covariant nature of its chaotic behaviour with respect to the choice of any time variable, from the point of view either of the dynamical systems theory, either of the statistical mechanics one.
