Bending and Stretching Unit Vector Fields in Euclidean and Hyperbolic 3-space
نویسنده
چکیده
New examples of harmonic unit vector fields on hyperbolic 3-space are constructed by exploiting the reduction of symmetry arising from the foliation by horospheres. This is compared and contrasted with the analogous construction in Euclidean 3-space, using a foliation by planes, which produces some new examples of harmonic maps from 3-dimensional Euclidean domains to the 2-sphere. Finally, the harmonic unit vector field tangent to a parallel family of hyperbolic geodesics is shown to be unstable, by constructing a class of compactly supported energy-decreasing variations. All examples considered have infinite total bending.

Tangent Bundle of the Hypersurfaces in a Euclidean Space
Let $M$ be an orientable hypersurface in the Euclidean space $R^{2n}$ with induced metric $g$ and $TM$ be its tangent bundle. It is known that the tangent bundle $TM$ has induced metric $overline{g}$ as submanifold of the Euclidean space $R^{4n}$ which is not a natural metric in the sense that the submersion $pi :(TM,overline{g})rightarrow (M,g)$ is not the Riemannian submersion. In this paper...
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 کاملیادداشتی بر دوگانی AdS/CFT
We study duality of field theories in (d+1) dimensional flat Euclidean space and (d+1) dimensional Euclidean AdS space for both scalar the and vector fields. In the case of the scalar theory, the injective map between conformally coupled massless scalars in two spaces is reviewed. It is shown that for vector fields the injective map exists only in four dimensions. Since Euclidean AdS space is e...
متن کاملUmbilicity of (Space-Like) Submanifolds of Pseudo-Riemannian Space Forms
We study umbilic (space-like) submanifolds of pseudo-Riemannian space forms, then define totally semi-umbilic space-like submanifold of pseudo Euclidean space and relate this notion to umbilicity. Finally we give characterization of total semi-umbilicity for space-like submanifolds contained in pseudo sphere or pseudo hyperbolic space or the light cone.A pseudo-Riemannian submanifold M in (a...
متن کاملOn Static Bending, Elastic Buckling and Free Vibration Analysis of Symmetric Functionally Graded Sandwich Beams
This article presents Navier type closed-form solutions for static bending, elastic buckling and free vibration analysis of symmetric functionally graded (FG) sandwich beams using a hyperbolic shear deformation theory. The beam has FG skins and isotropic core. Material properties of FG skins are varied through the thickness according to the power law distribution. The present theory accounts fo...
