چکیده
In the description of relative motion in accelerated systems and gravitational fields, inertial and tidal accelerations must be taken into account, respectively. These involve a critical speed that in the first approximation can be simply illustrated in the case of motion in one dimension. For one-dimensional motion, such first-order accelerations are multiplied by (1 − V 2 /V 2 c), where V c = c/ √ 2 is the critical speed. If the speed of relative motion exceeds V c , there is a sign reversal with consequences that are contrary to Newtonian expectations.

The massless field perturbations of the accelerating Minkowski and Schwarzschild spacetimes are studied. The results are extended to the propagation of the Proca field in Rindler spacetime. We examine critically the possibility of existence of a general spin-acceleration coupling in complete analogy with the well-known spin-rotation coupling. We argue that such a direct coupling between spin an...

It is shown using a space-time curvature classification and decomposition that for certain holonomy types of a space-time, proper projec-tive vector fields cannot exist. Existence is confirmed, by example, for the remaining holonomy types. In all except the most general holon-omy type, a local uniqueness theorem for proper projective symmetry is established.

We give an explicit canonical transformation which transforms a generic chiral 2D dilaton gravity model into a free field theory.

The double torus provides a relativistic model for a closed 2D cosmos with topology of genus 2 and constant negative curvature. Its unfolding into an octagon extends to an octagonal tesselation of its universal covering, the hyperbolic space H. The tesselation is analysed with tools from hyperbolic crystallography. Actions on H of groups/subgroups are identified for SU(1, 1), for a hyperbolic C...
