Complete Classification of Conformal Killing Symmetries of Plane-Symmetric Static Spacetimes in Teleparallel Theory

We have studied the conformal, homothetic and Killing vectors in the context of teleparallel theory of gravitation for plane-symmetric static spacetimes. We have solved completely the non-linear coupled teleparallel conformal Killing equations. This yields the general form of teleparallel conformal vectors along with the conformal factor for all possible cases of metric functions. We have found four solutions which are divided into one Killing symmetries and three conformal Killing symmetries. One of these teleparalel conformal vectors depends on x only and other is a function of all spacetime coordinates. The three conformal Killing symmetries contain three proper homothetic symmetries where the conformal factor is an arbitrary non-zero constant.     

Conformal groups and conformally equivalent isometry groups

It is shown that if ann dimensional Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifold admits a proper conformal scalar, every (local) conformal group is conformally isometric, and that if it admits a proper conformal gradient every (local) conformal group is conformally homothetic. In the Riemannian case there is always a conformal scalar unless the metric is conformally Euclidean. In the case of a Lorentzian 4-manifold it is proved that the only metrics with no conformal scalars (and hence the only ones admitting a (local) conformal group not conformally isometric) are either conformal to the plane wave metric with parallel rays or conformally Minkowskian.

Aerodynamic heating of the dome on imaging quality degradation of conformal optical systems

The aerodynamic flow field surrounding the conformal dome was calculated. The thermal response of the aerodynamically heated conformal dome was analyzed. Gradient refractive index method was used to rebuild the non-uniform refractive index field of the conformal dome. Zernike polynomial fitting method was employed to establish the deformed surfaces of the conformal dome. Zernike aberration theory and modulation transfer function were adopted to evaluate the imaging quality of the conformal optical system. The results show that the aerodynamic heating of the dome severely affects the imaging quality of the conformal optical system.

On Conformal Jordan Cells of Finite and Infinite Rank

This work concerns, in part, the construction of conformal Jordan cells of infinite rank and their reductions to conformal Jordan cells of finite rank. How a procedure similar to Lie algebra contractions may reduce a conformal Jordan cell of finite rank to one of lower rank is also discussed. A conformal Jordan cell of rank one corresponds to a primary field. This offers a picture in which any finite conformal Jordan cell of a given conformal weight may be obtained from a universal covering cell of the same weight but infinite rank.

Design of cylindrical conformal transmitted metasurface for orbital angular momentum vortex wave generation

We propose a cylindrical conformal transmitted metasurface for orbital angular momentum vortex wave generation. Formulas for calculating the phase distributions of cylindrical conformal transmitted metasurface is presented. A prototype of the proposed conformal transmitted metasurface is designed, fabricated and measured. Measured results shows that the proposed conformal transmitted metasurface can effectively generate vortex waves, which verifies the effectiveness of our method. The proposed method may pave the way of vortex wave generation with cylindrical conformal devices.     

Locally Conformal Dirac Structures and Infinitesimal Automorphisms

We study the main properties of locally conformal Dirac bundles, which include Dirac structures on a manifold and locally conformal symplectic manifolds. It is proven that certain locally conformal Dirac bundles induce Jacobi structures on quotient manifolds. Furthermore we show that, given a locally conformal Dirac bundle over a smooth manifold M, there is a Lie homomorphism between a subalgebra of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal automorphisms and the Lie algebra of admissible functions. We also show that Dirac manifolds can be obtained from locally conformal Dirac bundles by using an appropriate covering map. Finally, we extend locally conformal Dirac bundles to the context of Lie algebroids.

LETTER: Conformal Ricci Collineations of Space-Times

We study conformal vector fields on space-times which in addition are compatible with the Ricci tensor (so-called conformal Ricci collineations). In the case of Einstein metrics any conformal vector field is automatically a Ricci collineation as well. For Riemannian manifolds, conformal Ricci collineation were called concircular vector fields and studied in the relationship with the geometry of geodesic circles. Here we obtain a partial classification of space-times carrying proper conformal Ricci collineations. There are examples which are not Einstein metrics.
