Exact Polynomial Eigenmodes for Homogeneous Spherical 3-Manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
Observational data hint at a finite universe, with spherical manifolds such as the Poincaré dodecahedral space tentatively providing the best fit. Simulating the physics of a model universe requires knowing the eigenmodes of the Laplace operator on the space. The present article provides explicit polynomial eigenmodes for all globally homogeneous 3-manifolds: the Poincaré dodecahedral space S3/I∗, the binary octahedral space S3/O∗, the binary tetrahedral space S3/T ∗, the prism manifolds S3/D∗ m and the lens spaces L(p, 1).

Eigenmodes of Lens and Prism Spaces
Cosmologists are taking a renewed interest in multiconnected spherical 3-manifolds (spherical spaceforms) as possible models for the physical universe. To understand the formation of large scale structures in such a universe, cosmologists express physical quantities, such as density fluctuations in the primordial plasma, as linear combinations of the eigenmodes of the Laplacian, which can then ...
متن کاملPlatonic polyhedra tune the 3 - sphere : III . Harmonic analysis on octahedral spherical 3 - manifolds
We view a spherical topological 3-manifold M, see [11] and [13], as a prototile on its cover M̃ = S. We studied in [7] the isometric actions of O(4, R) on the 3sphere S and gave its basis as well-known homogeneous Wigner polynomials in [5] eq.(37). An algorithm due to Everitt in [3] generates the homotopies for all spherical 3-manifolds M from five Platonic polyhedra. Using intermediate Coxeter ...
متن کاملOn the computation of spherical designs by a new optimization approach based on fast spherical Fourier transforms
Spherical t-designs are point sets XM := {x1, . . . ,xM} ⊂ S2 which provide quadrature rules with equal weights for the sphere which are exact for polynomials up to degree t. In this paper we consider the problem of finding numerical spherical t-designs on the sphere S2 for high polynomial degree t ∈ N. That is, we compute numerically local minimizers of a certain quadrature error At(XM ). The ...

We exhibit 3 families of complete curvature homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are modeled on irreducible symmetric spaces and which are not locally homogeneous. All of the manifolds have nilpotent Jacobi operators; some of the manifolds are, in addition, Jordan Osserman and Jordan Ivanov-Petrova.
متن کاملGeodesically Complete Lorentzian Metrics on Some Homogeneous 3 Manifolds
In this work it is shown that a necessary condition for the completeness of the geodesics of left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups is also sufficient in the case of 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, and not sufficient for 3-dimensional non unimodular Lie groups. As a consequence it is possible to identify, amongst the compact locally homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds with n...
