چکیده
In this paper we give a review on normally hyperbolic operators of Huygens type. The methods to determine Huygens operators we explain here were essentially innuenced and developed by Paul G unther.

Helmholtz Operators and Symmetric Space Duality
We consider the property of vanishing logarithmic term (VLT) for the fundamental solution of the shifted Laplace-d'Alembert operators + b (b a constant), on pseudo-Riemannian reductive symmetric spaces M. Our main result is that such an operator on the c-dual or Flensted-Jensen dual of M has the VLT property if and only if a corresponding operator on M does. For Lorentzian spaces, where the +b ...
متن کاملConformal field theory and hyperbolic geometry.
We examine the correspondence between the conformal field theory of boundary operators and two-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. by consideration of domain boundaries in two-dimensional critical systems, and the invariance of the hyperbolic length, we motivate a reformulation of the basic equation of conformal covariance. The scale factors gain a new, physical interpretation. We exhibit a fully ...
متن کاملAn Extension of Poincare Model of Hyperbolic Geometry with Gyrovector Space Approach
The aim of this paper is to show the importance of analytic hyperbolic geometry introduced in [9]. In [1], Ungar and Chen showed that the algebra of the group $SL(2,mathbb C)$ naturally leads to the notion of gyrogroups and gyrovector spaces for dealing with the Lorentz group and its underlying hyperbolic geometry. They defined the Chen addition and then Chen model of hyperbolic geomet...
متن کاملMetric and periodic lines in the Poincare ball model of hyperbolic geometry
In this paper, we prove that every metric line in the Poincare ball model of hyperbolic geometry is exactly a classical line of itself. We also proved nonexistence of periodic lines in the Poincare ball model of hyperbolic geometry.
متن کاملThe Paneitz equation in hyperbolic space∗
The Paneitz operator is a fourth order differential operator which arises in conformal geometry and satisfies a certain covariance property. Associated to it is a fourth order curvature – the Qcurvature. We prove the existence of a continuum of conformal radially symmetric complete metrics in hyperbolic space Hn, n > 4, all having the same constant Q-curvature. Moreover, similar results can be ...
