Metric of Rotating Charged Spherical Mass in Vacuum for Vector Graviton Metric Theory of Gravitation

Based on the vector graviton metric theory of gravitation (VGM) suggested by one of the authors of this article, using the method of null tetrad and analytic continuation, this paper gives the metric of the rotating charged spherical mass in VGM. The result shows once again that a replacement of G by G* = G(1 - G M /2r) in general relativity will yield the corresponding result in VGM for the metric in vacuum.     

A Discussion of Space-Time Metric Engineering

The Alcubierre Warp Drive Metric, wherein a spacecraft can appear to vastly exceed the speed of light without locally ever doing so, derived in [1], is reconsidered. It is shown that the underlying driving physical mechanism (at least in a mathematical sense) is not the expansion/contraction of the space surrounding the spacecraft via the York Time T [2]. Rather, the driving mechanism is a boost that serves as a multiplier of the ship's initial velocity. This effect can in principle be likened to watching a movie in fast-forward. The expansion/contraction of space is merely a side effect of the warp drive's underlying mechanism - that can be viewed as sort of a Doppler effect, or stress/strain on space.

基于视觉感知的光谱评估尺度

光谱颜色复现和色度精度是评价光谱重建算法准确的基础。简单而直观的评价指标对颜色复现控制是必不可少。该指标需要同时表征复现颜色的光谱差和色度差。在研究光谱匹配评估的方法基础上,提出基于颜色视觉感知的三种光谱评估指标,通过加权人眼视觉匹配函数,实现颜色光谱差与色度的评估。通过孟塞尔颜色系统的光谱数据,该论文分析与验证三种视觉加权的评估指标的有效性。通过孟塞尔颜色系统数据,这些指标在CIELab均匀色空间中分布均匀而稳定,从而证明加权算法的评估指标是既表征到颜色感知又反映出颜色的光谱相似度。实证结果表明,加权的指标可以实现同时表征实际人眼的颜色感知和颜色光谱差异。基于人眼视觉感知的评估指标解决了颜色的原始光谱和重建光谱的光谱匹配精度的定量评价问题。所提出评价指标通过一个简单而直观的数值实现对复现颜色光谱与色度评估。     

Review: Kerr-Schild and Generalized Metric Motions

In this work we study in detail new kinds of motions of the metric tensor. The work is divided into two main parts. In the first part we study the general existence of Kerr-Schild motions — a recently introduced metric motion. We show that generically, Kerr-Schild motions give rise to finite dimensional Lie algebras and are isometrizable, i.e., they are in a one-to-one correspondence with a subset of isometries of a (usually different) spacetime. This is similar to conformal motions. There are however some exceptions that yield infinite dimensional algebras in any dimension of the manifold. We also show that Kerr-Schild motions may be interpreted as some kind of metric symmetries in the sense of having associated some geometrical invariants. In the second part, we suggest a scheme able to cope with other new candidates of metric motions from a geometrical viewpoint. We solve a set of new candidates which may be interpreted as the seeds of further developments and relate them with known methods of finding new solutions to Einstein's field equations. The results are similar to those of Kerr-Schild motions, yet a richer algebraic structure appears. In conclusion, even though several points still remain open, the wealth of results shows that the proposed concept of generalized metric motions is meaningful and likely to have a spin-off in gravitational physics. We end by listing and analyzing some of those open points.

Proper Conformal Killing Vectors in Kantowski-Sachs Metric

This paper deals with the existence of proper conformal Killing vectors(CKVs) in Kantowski-Sachs metric.Subject to some integrability conditions, the general form of vector filed generating CKVs and the conformal factor is presented. The integrability conditions are solved generally as well as in some particular cases to show that the nonconformally flat Kantowski-Sachs metric admits two proper CKVs, while it admits a 15-dimensional Lie algebra of CKVs in the case when it becomes conformally flat. The inheriting conformal Killing vectors(ICKVs), which map fluid lines conformally, are also investigated.     

Letter: Causality Violating Geodesics in Bonnor's Rotating Dust Metric

We exhibit timelike geodesic paths for a metric, introduced by Bonnor [11] and considered also by Steadman [13], and show that coordinate time runs backward along a portion of these geodesics.     

Embedding Spacetime via a Geodesically Equivalent Metric of Euclidean Signature

Starting from the equations of motion in a 1 + 1 static, diagonal, Lorentzian spacetime, such as the Schwarzschild radial line element, I find another metric, but with Euclidean signature, which produces the same geodesics x(t). This geodesically equivalent, or dual, metric can be embedded in ordinary Euclidean space. On the embedded surface freely falling particles move on the shortest path. Thus one can visualize how acceleration in a gravitational field is explained by particles moving freely in a curved spacetime. Freedom in the dual metric allows us to display, with substantial curvature, even the weak gravity of our earth. This may provide a nice pedagogical tool for elementary lectures on general relativity. I also study extensions of the dual metric scheme to higher dimensions.     

Introducing the Einstein Metric to Quantum Computation and Quantum Information Geometry

The Bures fidelity between two states of a qubit quantifies the extent of which the two states are distinguished from one another. It is generated by the so called Bloch vectors, which are elements of the closed unit ball of the Euclidean 3-space. We uncover a link between the Bures fidelity and Einstein's addition in the ball, Theorem 3. We show that in terms of Einstein's addition of relativistically admissible velocities, the Bures fidelity takes a simple, elegant form, (17). This, in turn, demonstrates that the Bures fidelity is regulated by the Beltrami ball model of the hyperbolic geometry of Bolyai and Lobachevski.     

Quasi-hermiticity and the Role of a Metric in Some Boson Hamiltonians

The strategy of endowing PT-symmetric quantum mechanics with a positive definite metric, by adopting a modified inner product, has recently been explored in a simple non-hermitian quadratic boson Hamiltonian. We reconsider this analysis with emphasis on the question of a unique metric linked to the identification of an irreducible set of observables. Our results emphasise the necessity to ensure such a unique metric in order to establish a viable quantum mechanical framework.     

Stereo Video Quality Metric Based on Multi-Dimensional Analysis

Stereo video has been widely applied in various video systems in recent years. Therefore, objective stereo video quality metric (SVQM) is highly necessary for improving the watching experience. However, due to the high dimensional data in stereo video, existing metrics have some defects in accuracy and robustness. Based on the characteristics of stereo video, this paper considers the coexistence and interaction of multi-dimensional information in stereo video and proposes an SVQM based on multi-dimensional analysis (MDA-SVQM). Specifically, a temporal-view joint decomposition (TVJD) model is established by analyzing and comparing correlation in different dimensions and adaptively decomposes stereo group of frames (sGoF) into different subbands. Then, according to the generation mechanism and physical meaning of each subband, histogram-based and LOID-based features are extracted for high and low frequency subband, respectively, and sGoF quality is obtained by regression. Finally, the weight of each sGoF is calculated by spatial-temporal energy weighting (STEW) model, and final stereo video quality is obtained by weighted summation of all sGoF qualities. Experiments on two stereo video databases demonstrate that TVJD and STEW adopted in MDA-SVQM are convincible, and the overall performance of MDA-SVQM is better than several existing SVQMs.     

Yang-Mills Equation and Bures Metric

It is shown that the connection form (gauge field) related to the generalization of the Berry phase to mixed states proposed by Uhlmann satisfies the source-free Yang–Mills equation * D * D = 0, where the Hodge operator is taken with respect to the Bures metric on the space of finite-dimensional nondegenerate density matrices.     

Decoherence and Bare Mass Induced by Nonconformal Metric Fluctuations

The effects, upon the Klein–Gordon field, of nonconformal stochastic metric fluctuations, are analyzed. It will be shown that these fluctuations allow us to consider an effective mass, i.e., the mass detected in a laboratory is not the parameter appearing in the Klein–Gordon equation, but a function of this parameter and of the fluctuations of the metric. In other words, in analogy to the case of a nonrelativistic electron in interaction with a quantized electromagnetic field, we may speak of a bare mass, where the observed mass shows a dependence upon the stochastic terms included in the metric. Afterwards, we prove, resorting to the influence functional, that the energy–momentum tensor of the Klein–Gordon field inherites this stochastic behavior, and that this feature provokes decoherence upon a particle immersed in the region where this tensor is present.     

Metric Expansion from Microscopic Dynamics in an Inhomogeneous Universe

Theories with ingredients like the Higgs mechanism, gravitons, and inflaton fields rejuvenate the idea that relativistic kinematics is dynamically emergent. Eternal inflation treats the Hubble constant H as depending on location. Microscopic dynamics implies that H is over much smaller lengths than pocket universes to be understood as a local space reproduction rate. We illustrate this via discussing that even exponential inflation in TeV-gravity is slow on the relevant time scale. In our on small scales inhomogeneous cosmos, a reproduction rate H depends on position. We therefore discuss Einstein-Strauss vacuoles and a Lindquist-Wheeler like lattice to connect the local rate properly with the scaling of an expanding cosmos. Consistency allows H to locally depend on Weyl curvature similar to vacuum polarization. We derive a proportionality constant known from Kepler＇s third law and discuss the implications for the finiteness of the cosmological constant.

Calculation of Metric for Gaussian Weave State

Using the recoupling theorem and graph calculation in loop quantum gravity, it is demonstrated that the action of metric matrix operator on Gaussian weave state is an eigenaction, the representation matrix elements of the metric operator and their expectation values are calculated. The values of length of tangent vectors of edges adjacent to the vertex of Gaussian weave state, as well as the angles between them are also obtained in the cases of k=0 and k=2.     

Eikonal Approximation to 5D Wave Equations and the 4D Space-Time Metric

We apply a method analogous to the eikonal approximation to the Maxwell wave equations in an inhomogeneous anisotropic medium and geodesic motion in a three dimensional Riemannian manifold, using a method which identifies the symplectic structure of the corresponding mechanics, to the five dimensional generalization of Maxwell theory required by the gauge invariance of Stueckelberg's covariant classical and quantum dynamics. In this way, we demonstrate, in the eikonal approximation, the existence of geodesic motion for the flow of mass in a four dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold. These results provide a foundation for the geometrical optics of the five dimensional radiation theory and establish a model in which there is mass flow along geodesics. We then discuss the interesting case of relativistic quantum theory in an anisotropic medium as well. In this case the eikonal approximation to the relativistic quantum mechanical current coincides with the geodesic flow governed by the pseudo-Riemannian metric obtained from the eikonal approximation to solutions of the Stueckelberg–Schrödinger equation. The locally symplectic structure which emerges is that of a generally covariant form of Stueckelberg's mechanics on this manifold.
