Normal frames for linear connections in vector bundles and the equivalence principle in classical gauge theories
نویسنده
چکیده
Frames normal for linear connections in vector bundles are defined and studied. In particular, such frames exist at every fixed point and/or along injective path. Inertial frames for gauge fields are introduced and on this ground the principle of equivalence for (system of) gauge fields is formulated. Bozhidar Z.

Normal frames and linear transports along paths in vector bundles
The theory of linear transports along paths in vector bundles, generalizing the parallel transports generated by linear connections, is developed. The normal frames for them are defined as ones in which their matrices are the identity matrix or their coefficients vanish. A number of results, including theorems of existence and uniqueness, concerning normal frames are derived. Special attention ...
متن کاملNormal frames for general connections on differentiable fibre bundles
The theory of frames normal for general connections on differentiable bundles is developed. Links with the existing theory of frames normal for covariant derivative operators (linear connections) in vector bundles are revealed. The existence of bundle coordinates normal at a given point and/or along injective horizontal path is proved. A necessary and sufficient condition of existence of bundle...
متن کاملNon-Linear Behavior of New (FSFN) Moment Resisting Connections in Comparison to the Existing KBB Connections in Steel Frames
After Northridge (1994) and Kobe (1995) earthquakes, several studies have been conducted to improve the seismic performance of steel structures. In this investigation, new steel moment-resisting connections (FSFN) developed by the authors, were studied by the non-linear numerical analysis. These connections were single-sided beam-to-column assemblies that are representative of exterior beam-to-...
متن کاملNormal frames and the validity of the equivalence principle II . The case along paths
We investigate the validity of the equivalence principle along paths in gravitational theories based on derivations of the tensor algebra over a differentiable manifold. We prove the existence of local bases, called normal, in which the components of the derivations vanish along arbitrary paths. All such bases are explicitly described. The holonomicity of the normal bases is considered. The res...
متن کاملNormal frames and linear transports along paths in line bundles . Applications to classical electrodynamics
The definitions and some basic properties of the linear transports along paths in vector bundles and the normal frames for them are recalled. The formalism is specified on line bundles and applied to a geometrical description of the classical electrodynamics. The inertial frames for this theory are discussed. Bozhidar Z.
