Conformal smectics and their many metrics.

چکیده
We establish that equally spaced smectic configurations enjoy an infinite-dimensional conformal symmetry and show that there is a natural map between them and null hypersurfaces in maximally symmetric spacetimes. By choosing the appropriate conformal factor it is possible to restore additional symmetries of focal structures only found before for smectics on flat substrates.

On conformal transformation of special curvature of Kropina metrics
An important class of Finsler metric is named Kropina metrics which is defined by Riemannian metric α and 1-form β which have many applications in physic, magnetic field and dynamic systems. In this paper, conformal transformations of χ-curvature and H-curvature of Kropina metrics are studied and the conditions that preserve this quantities are investigated. Also it is shown that in the ...
متن کاملThe curve complex and its relatives
As we have seen in the previous lecture, Teichmüller space T (S) for a surface of finite type S = Sg,n (genus g and n punctures or boundary components) is a parameter space for various types of structures that can be imposed on the same topological surface S. I’ll adopt the view that T (S) is the space of metrics on S, marked with a set of generators for the fundamental group, up to (measurable...
متن کاملThe Correlation of Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics with Human Judgement on Persian Language
Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics (MTEMs) are the central core of Machine Translation (MT) engines as they are developed based on frequent evaluation. Although MTEMs are widespread today, their validity and quality for many languages is still under question. The aim of this research study was to examine the validity and assess the quality of MTEMs from Lexical Similarity set on machine tra...
متن کاملJu n 20 09 Generalized β - conformal change of Finsler metrics
In this paper, we introduce and investigate a general transformation or change of Finsler metrics, which is referred to as a generalized β-conformal change: L(x, y) −→ L(x, y) = f(eL(x, y), β(x, y)). This transformation combines both β-change and conformal change in a general setting. The change, under this transformation, of the fundamental Finsler connections, together with their associated g...
متن کاملThe conformal analog of Calabi-Yau manifolds
This survey intends to introduce the reader to holonomy theory of Cartan connections. Special attention is given to the normal conformal Cartan connection, uniquely defined for a class of conformally equivalent metrics, and to its holonomy group the ’conformal holonomy group’. We explain the relation between conformal holonomy group and existence of Einstein metrics in the conformal class as we...
