Affine Metrics and Algebroid Structures: Application to General Relativity and Unification

Affine metrics and their associated algebroid bundle are developed. These structures are applied to the general relativity and provide a mathematical structure for unification of gravity and electromagnetism. The final result is a field equation on the associated algebroid bundle that is similar to Einstein field equation but contains Einstein field equation and Maxwell equations simultaneously and contains a new equation that may have new results.     

Application of Lie Algebroid Structures to Unification of Einstein and Yang-Mills Field Equations

Yang-Mills field equations describe new forces in the context of Lie groups and principle bundles. It is of interest to know if the new forces and gravitation can be described in the context of algebroids. This work was intended as an attempt to answer last question. The basic idea is to construct Einstein field equation in an algebroid bundle associated to space-time manifold. This equation contains Einstein and Yang-Mills field equations simultaneously. Also this equation yields a new equation that can have interesting experimental results.     

Analytical Solution of a Wave Equation in Cosmology

In this paper we derive a wave equation based on a cosmological model of the universe expansion in the four-dimensional space-velocity. An analytical solution of this equation is obtained using Nikiforov-Uvarov mathematical method. In this procedure we use the solutions of the Einstein gravitational field equations for the perfect fluid energy-momentum tensor.     

Kosmologische Lösungen der lorentzinvarianten Gravitationstheorie

In the framework of the Lorentz invariant theory of gravitation a cosmology in the flat space-time is investigated. As in the Newtonian cosmology we start from an infinitely extended system of incoherent matter under the influence of its own gravitational field. The field equations, the equations of motion and the world postulate of homogenity and isotropy for geodetic observes lead then to the Friedman equation. In order to handle the coupled system of equations for the gravitational field and the matter a conveniant approximation method is developed. The calculations are carried out in the second order of this method. The Einstein theory, which is in some respect equivalent to the Lorentz invariant theory of gravitation, serves as a guiding principle for our formal developements. On the other hand the flat space-time cosmology presented here, gives rise to a new interpretation of the Einstein Cosmology.     

On calculation of magnetic-type gravitation and experiments

The linearized Einstein equations are written in the same form as the Maxwell equation. In the case of a weak stationary field and low velocity, the geodesic equations are written in the form of the Lorentz equation of motion. We suggest that the existence of the magnetic-type gravitation predicted by GR is equivalent to the existence of the gravitational wave predicted by GR. The Schiff effect is explained as one of the magnetic-type gravitation and the new effect is given. The Hall-type gravitational experiment is studied.     

Gravitational Faraday Effect Produced by a Ring Laser

Using the linearized Einstein gravitational field equations and the Maxwell field equations it is shown that the plane of polarization of an electromagnetic wave is rotated by the gravitational field created by the electromagnetic radiation of a ring laser. It is further shown that this gravitational Faraday effect shares many of the properties of the standard electromagnetic Faraday effect. An experimental arrangement is then suggested for the observation of this gravitational Faraday effect induced by the ring laser.     

Nonlinear diffraction in a quantum-dot system with allowance for the Hubbard interaction

The propagation of monochromatic laser radiation in a volume system of quantum dots (QDs) that are tunnel-coupled along one axis is considered. The electron energy spectrum of the QD system is modeled in the tight-binding approximation with allowance for the Coulomb interaction of electrons in the Hubbard model. The electromagnetic field of laser radiation in a QD system is described quasi-classically by Maxwell equations; as applied to this problem, they are reduced to a non-one-dimensional wave equation for the vector potential. As a result of the analysis of the wave equation in the approximation of varying amplitudes and phases, an effective equation describing the electromagnetic field in a QD system is obtained and numerically solved. The influence of the parameters of the system and the amplitude and frequency of the field of incident laser radiation on the character of its propagation is investigated. Nonmonotonic dependences of the factor characterizing the laser beam diffraction spread on the parameters of the electron energy spectrum of the system are obtained.     

Nonlinear diffraction in inhomogeneous superlattice

We considered the propagation of laser monochromatic radiation in a superlattice that contains regions with an elevated concentration of carriers. The model of the energy spectrum of electrons is chosen in the strong coupling approximation. The electromagnetic field is described quasiclassically with Maxwell equations, which, as applied to the problem under study, are reduced to a non-one-dimensional sine-Gordon wave equation for the vector-potential. We analyzed the wave equation in the approximation of slowly varying amplitudes and phases and obtained and numerically solved an effective equation that describes the electromagnetic field in the superlattice. We studied different regimes of propagation of laser radiation, analyzed diffraction by regions with an elevated electron concentration.     

Cosmology with a Shock-Wave

We construct the simplest solution of the Einstein equations that incorporates a shock-wave into a standard Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric whose equation of state accounts for the Hubble constant and the microwave background radiation temperature. This produces a new solution of the Einstein equations from which we are able to show that the distance from the shock-wave to the center of the explosion at present time is comparable to the Hubble distance. We are motivated by the idea that the expansion of the universe as measured by the Hubble constant might be accounted for by an event more similar to a classical explosion than by the well-accepted scenario of the Big Bang.     

Gravitational waves without gravitons

The radiation connection induced on an isotropic hypersurface of a Lorentz manifold is described. Consequences for the energy tensor in Einstein field equation are analyzed. A cosmological interpretation is proposed.     

Applications of Lie Symmetries to Higher Dimensional Gravitating Fluids

We consider a radiating shear-free spherically symmetric metric in higher dimensions. Several new solutions to the Einstein’s equations are found systematically using the method of Lie analysis of differential equations. Using the five Lie point symmetries of the fundamental field equation, we obtain either an implicit solution or we can reduce the governing equations to a Riccati equation. We show that known solutions of the Einstein equations can produce infinite families of new solutions. Earlier results in four dimensions are shown to be special cases of our generalised results.     

Diffraction of a convergent sound wave by an elastic cylindrical shell with a longitudinal fixation

The problem of the diffraction of a zero-order convergent cylindrical wave by a cylindrical shell with a longitudinal fixation along one of its generatrices is considered. The problem is solved on the basis of using the so-called helical waves, which are aperiodic eigensolutions to the equations of the shell motion. The diffraction field is represented in the form of a convergent series in cylindrical harmonics. The method of the solution allows for a generalization to several cases of longitudinal fixation with conditions of different forms. The calculation of the scattering amplitude of the diffraction field is carried out for various frequencies and shell parameters.     

Solitonic Information Transmission in General Relativity

An exact solution of the vacuum Einstein＇s field equations is presented, in which there exists a congruence of null geodesics whose shear behaves like a travelling wave of the KdV equation. On the basis of this exact solution, the feasibility of solitonic information transmission by exploiting the nonlinearity intrinsic to the Einstein field equations is discussed.     

Gravitational field of a radiating rotating body

A nonstationary solution of the Einstein field equations, corresponding to the field of a radiating rotating body, is presented. The solution is algebraically special of Petrov type II with a twisting, shear-free, null congruence identical to that of the Kerr metric. The new metric bears the same relation to the Kerr metric as does Vaidya's metric to the Schwarzschild metric, in the sense that in both cases the radiating solution is generated from the nonradiating one by replacing the mass parameter by an arbitrary function of a retarded time coordinate. The energy-momentum tensor in the present case, however, has two terms, a Vaidya type radiative one and an additional nonradiative residual term. Due to the presence of the nonradiative term in this case, however, the energy-momentum tensor becomes Vaidya-like asymptotically only, thus allowing for a geometrical optics interpretation. Asymptotically, part of the radiation field is purely electromagnetic with a Maxwell tensor which admits only one principal null direction corresponding to the undirectional flow of radiation.     

Plane wave interpolation in direct collocation boundary element method for radiation and wave scattering: numerical aspects and applications

The classical boundary element formulation for the Helmholtz equation is rehearsed, and its limitations with respect to the number of variables needed to model a wavelength are explained. A new type of interpolation for the potential is then described in which the usual boundary element shape functions are modified by the inclusion of a set of plane waves, propagating in a range of directions. This is termed the plane wave basis boundary element method. The modifications needed to the classical procedures, in terms of integration of the element matrices, and location of collocation points are described. The well-known Singular Value Decomposition solution technique, which is adopted here for the solution of the system matrix equation in its complex form, is briefly outlined. The conditioning of the system matrix is analysed for a simple radiation problem. The corresponding diffraction problem is also analysed and results are compared with analytical and classical boundary element solutions. The CHIEF method is adopted to enhance the quality of the solution, particularly in the vicinity of irregular frequencies. The plane wave basis boundary element method is then applied to two problems: scattering of plane waves by an elliptical cylinder and the multiple circular cylinder plane wave scattering problem. In both cases results are compared with analytical solutions. The results clearly demonstrate that the new method is considerably more efficient than the classical approach. For a given number of degrees of freedom, the frequency for which accurate results can be obtained, using the new technique, can be up to three or four times higher than that of the classical method. This makes the method a powerful new addition to our tools for tackling high-frequency radiation and scattering problems.     

Kaluza-Klein theory and Machian cosmology

We interpret the 15 equations of Kaluza-Klein gravity as 10 Einstein equations, 1 wave equation and 4 equations of motion. An exact cosmological solution of the apparently empty 5D field equations describes a 4D fluid with an effective density and pressure induced by the curvature associated with the fifth dimension. The rest mass of a particle in the fluid depends on the global solution and changes slowly with time. This approach to Kaluza-Klein theory in general results in Machian cosmologies.

Electrodynamics of a continuous medium in a system with specified structure

It is shown that electrodynamics can be considered not only in Minkowski space but also in Riemannian space-time. The exact solutions for the electric field within and beyond a charged plate and a sphere and the space-time geometry are found without applying the Einstein equations. The space-time geometry of a Born-rigid noninertial frame of reference (NFR) with global linear acceleration in space-time having constant curvature is obtained on the basis of the structural equations (integrability conditions). A new Lorentz-covariant condition of stationarity for possible solutions to the Maxwell equations for the particles frozen in a Born-rigid NFR is formulated. In an inertial frame of reference this condition is equivalent to zero four-curl of the field of four-accelerations of particles. This condition provides zero relativistic generalized radiation friction force. The propagation of electromagnetic waves in this NFR and the Doppler effect are described. The limitations imposed on the energy-momentum tensor in the Einstein equations are derived.     

Diffraction of elastic waves by a sub-surface crack (anti-plane motion)

A rigorous theory of the diffraction of SH-waves by a stress-free crack embedded in a semi-infinite elastic medium is presented. The incident time-harmonic SH-wave is taken to be either a uniform plane wave or a cylindrical wave originating from a surface line-source. The resulting boundary-value problem for the unknown jump in the particle displacement across the crack is solved by employing an integral equation approach. The unknown quantity is expanded in a complete sequence of Chebyshev polynomials. By writing the Green function as a Fourier integral, an infinite system of linear, algebraic equations for the expansion coefficients is obtained. Numerical results are presented for the particle displacement at the surface of the half-space, the far field radiation characteristic, the scattering cross-section of the crack and the dynamic stress intensity factor at the crack tips, for a range of geometrical parameters.
