General relativity in a (2 + 1)-dimensional space-time

General relativity is formulated for a (2+1)-dimensional space-time. Solutions to the vacuum field equations are locally flat. There are no gravitational waves and no Newtonian attraction between masses. The geometry around a point mass is a cone (locally flat) where the angle deficit at the apex is proportional to the mass. A uniform density planet has a spherical cap interior and a conical exterior solution. A convex polyhedron represents a closed universe with point masses at its vertices and approximates a static spherical universe of uniform density dust.

Supergravity in (2 + 1) dimensionsfrom (3 + 1)-dimensional supergravity

In the context of the formalism proposed by Stelle-West and Grignani-Nardelli, it is shown that Chern-Simons supergravity can be consistently obtained as a dimensional reduction of (3 + 1)-dimensional supergravity, when written as a gauge theory of the Poincaré group. The dimensional reductions are consistent with the gauge symmetries, mapping (3 + 1)-dimensional Poincaré supergroup gauge transformations onto (2 + 1)-dimensional Poincaré supergroup ones.     

Rational solutions of a (2+1)-dimensional Sharma-Tasso-Olver equation

We extend the (1+1)-dimensioanl Sharma-Tasso-Olver (STO) equation to a (2+1)-dimensional one by adding one additional term u_yy. A tri-linear form of the (2+1)-dimensional STO equation is obtained by the Painlevé analysis. A family of rational solutions for the (2+1)-dimensional STO equation is constructed by using the resulting tri-linear form. Associated 3-dimensional plot and density plot with particular choices of the involved parameters are given to show the charateristics of the rational solutions.     

Creation of a time-machine in (2+1)-dimensional gravity

A non-stationary model of two concentric counter-rotating layers is constructed in (2+1)-dimensional Einstein theory. It is shown that the model which satisfies both the weak and the dominant energy conditions, may evolve from a state with no closed time-like curves to a state where such curves are present in a finite region of space. No singularities are formed in the process.     

Forced(2+1)-dimensional discrete three-wave equation

We generalize the ■-dressing method to investigate a(2+1)-dimensional lattice,which can be regarded as a forced(2+1)-dimensional discrete three-wave equation.The soliton solutions to the(2+1)-dimensional lattice are given through constructing different symmetry conditions.The asymptotic analysis of one-soliton solution is discussed.For the soliton solution,the forces are zero.     

Stability of Einstein-power-Maxwell (2+1)-dimensional wormholes

This paper is devoted to the study of stable and unstable geometrical structures of charged thin-shell wormholes constructed from Einstein-power-Maxwell black holes by using Visser cut and paste approach. We use Israel thin-shell formalism to evaluate the stress-energy tensor components of matter distribution located at the wormhole throat. The stability of thin-shell is investigated by using equations of state (phantom-like and generalized Chaplygin gas model) for exotic matter and radial perturbation about equilibrium throat radius. We conclude that stable regions increase by increasing the charge parameter.     

Upon Generating (2+1)-dimensional Dynamical Systems

Under the framework of the Adler-Gel’fand-Dikii(AGD) scheme, we first propose two Hamiltonian operator pairs over a noncommutative ring so that we construct a new dynamical system in 2+1 dimensions, then we get a generalized special Novikov-Veselov (NV) equation via the Manakov triple. Then with the aid of a special symmetric Lie algebra of a reductive homogeneous group G, we adopt the Tu-Andrushkiw-Huang (TAH) scheme to generate a new integrable (2+1)-dimensional dynamical system and its Hamiltonian structure, which can reduce to the well-known (2+1)-dimensional Davey-Stewartson (DS) hierarchy. Finally, we extend the binormial residue representation (briefly BRR) scheme to the super higher dimensional integrable hierarchies with the help of a super subalgebra of the super Lie algebra sl(2/1), which is also a kind of symmetric Lie algebra of the reductive homogeneous group G. As applications, we obtain a super 2+1 dimensional MKdV hierarchy which can be reduced to a super 2+1 dimensional generalized AKNS equation. Finally, we compare the advantages and the shortcomings for the three schemes to generate integrable dynamical systems.     

Kac-Moody-Virasoro symmetry algebra of a （2＋1）-dimensional bilinear system

Based on some known facts of integrable models, this paper proposes a new （2＋1）-dimensional bilinear model equation. By virtue of the formal series symmetry approach, the new model is proved to be integrable because of the existence of the higher order symmetries. The Lie point symmetries of the model constitute an infinite dimensional Kac- Moody Virasoro symmetry algebra. Making use of the infinite Lie point symmetries, the possible symmetry reductions of the model are also studied
