Swimming in curved space or the Baron and the cat
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the swimming of non-relativistic deformable bodies in (empty) static curved spaces. We focus on the case where the ambient geometry allows for rigid body motions. In this case, the swimming equations turn out to be geometric. For a small swimmer, the swimming distance in one stroke is determined by the Riemann curvature times certain moments of the swimmer.

An Example of 2-dimensional Hyperbolic Group Which Can't Act on 2-dimensional Negatively Curved Complexes
It is a long standing open problem wether or not any word hyperbolic group admits a discrete faithful cocompact isometric action on a space of negative curvature. The goal of this note is to show that the answer is negative if one restricts to the class of groups of isometries of 2-dimensional CAT(0)-complexes. Namely, we will prove the following: Theorem 0.1 There exists a word-hyperbolic grou...
متن کاملThe Effect of Regular Aerobic Training and Garlic Extract on the Oxidative and Inflammatory Indices of the Heart Tissue of Doxorubicin- induced Elderly Rats
Abstract Introduction: Heart disease is a major cause of mortality in elderly people, and oxidative stress and inflammation lead to changes in myocardium, resulting in apoptosis and cardiac hypertrophy. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of regular aerobic training along with garlic extract consumption on SOD, MDA, CAT, IL-10, and TNF-α levels in the heart tissue...
متن کاملThe Effect of Swimming Training on Serum Levels of Sex Hormones, Antioxidant Enzymes and Oxidative Damage of DNA Ovarian Tissue in Rats with Polycyclic Ovarian Syndrome
Background. Hormone disorders, stress-oxidative and inflammation in ovarian tissue cause no- ovulation in women with polycyclic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Several studies have shown the role of exercises in control of sex hormones. Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of swimming training (ST) on serum levels of sex hormones, antioxidant enzymes and oxidativ...
متن کاملA Numerical Study of the Effect of Aspect Ratio on Heat Transfer in an Annular Flow Through a 270-Degree Curved Pipe.
In the present paper, a three dimensional annular developing incompressible laminar flow through 270- degree curved pipe is numerically simulated. The dimensionless governing equations of continuity, momentums and energy are driven in toroidal coordinates. The governing equations are discretized by projection algorithm using forward difference in time and central difference in space. A three-di...
متن کاملP-25: Effect of Water with Different Temperature with or without Forced Swimming on Sperm Parameters in Adult Mouse
Background: Sports, hypothermia and hyperthermia as some stressors inhibit male reproductive functions and are associated with subfertility or infertility. We investigated whether water temperature and chronic swimming are effective on mouse sperm parameters. Materials and Methods: Adult male mouse(N=35) were randomly divided into 7 groups: 1-controls 2-cold water (100C) with swimming 3- cold w...
