A duality relation : global monopole and texture
نویسنده
چکیده
We resolve the entire gravitational field;i.e. the Riemann curvature into its electric and magnetic parts. In general, the vacuum Einstein equation is symmetric in active and passive electric parts. However it turns out that the Schwarzschild solution, which is the unique spherically symmetric vacuum solutions can be characterised by a slightly more general equation which is not symmetric. Then the duality transformation, implying interchange of active and passive parts will relate the Schwarzschlid particle with the one with global monopole charge. That is the two are dual of each-other. It further turns out that flat spacetime is dual to massless global monopole and global texture spacetimes.

On Electrogravity Duality
By resolving the gravitational eld into electric and magnetic parts, we de ne an electrogravity duality transformation and discover an interesting property of the eld. Under the duality transformation a vacuum/ at spacetime maps into the original spacetime with a topological defect of global monopole/texture. The elctrogravity-duality is thus a topological defect generating process. It turns ou...
متن کاملDual spacetimes, Mach’s Principle and topological defects
By resolving the Riemann curvature relative to a unit timelike vector into electric and magnetic parts, we define a duality transformation which interchanges active and passive electric parts. It implies interchange of roles of Ricci and Einstein curvatures. Further by modifying the vacuum/flat equation we construct spacetimes dual to the Schwarzschild solution and flat spacetime. The dual spac...
متن کاملGlobal monopole as dual-vacuum solution in Kaluza-Klein spacetime
By application of the duality transformation, which implies interchange of active and passive electric parts of the Riemann curvature (equivalent to interchange of Ricci and Einstein tensors) it is shown that the global monopole solution in the Kaluza-Klein spacetime is dual to the corresponding vacuum solution. Further we also obtain solution dual to flat space which would in general describe ...
متن کاملKaluza-Klein Monopole and 5-brane Effective Actions
We review the construction of the Kaluza-Klein monopole of the Type IIA theory in the most general case of a massive background, as well as its relation via T-duality with the Type IIB NS-5-brane. This last effective action is shown to be related by S-duality to the D5-brane effective action. To appear in the proceedings of the 32nd Symposium Ahrenshoop on the Theory of Elementary Particles, Bu...

Non-Abelian Seiberg-Witten invariants is investigated with massless Topolog-ical QCD where monopole is extended to non-Abelian groups version. We found that vacuum expectation value can be separated into a part from Donaldson theory , a part from Abelian Monopole theory and a part from non-Abelian monopole theory. This is achieved by a non-standard regularization. As a result of this regulariza...
