چکیده

We define affine transport lifts on the tangent bundle by associating a transport rule for tangent vectors with a vector field on the base manifold. The aim is to develop tools for the study of kinetic/ dynamical symmetries in relativistic particle motion. The transport lift unifies and generalises the various existing lifted vector fields, with clear geometric interpretations. We find the affine dynamical symmetries of general relativistic particle motion, and compare this to previous results and to the alternative concept of “matter symmetry”.

The symmetries and conserved quantities of Manton's modified superconductiv-ity model with non-relativistic Maxwell-Chern-Simons dynamics (also related to the Quan-tized Hall Effect) are obtained in the " Kaluza-Klein type " framework of Duval et al. 1. Introduction Recently [1], Manton proposed a modified version of the Landau-Ginzburg theory of superconductivity. His equations, defined on (2 ...

Quantum groupoids are a joint generalization of groupoids and quantum groups. We propose a definition of a compact quantum groupoid that is based on the theory of C *-algebras and Hilbert bimodules. The essential point is that whenever one has a tensor product over C in the theory of quantum groups, one now uses a certain tensor product over the base algebra of the quantum groupoid.

These notes represent approximately one semester’s worth of lectures on introductory general relativity for beginning graduate students in physics. Topics include manifolds, Riemannian geometry, Einstein’s equations, and three applications: gravitational radiation, black holes, and cosmology. Individual chapters, and potentially updated versions, can be found at http://itp.ucsb.edu/~carroll/not...
