Anti de Sitter space is a maximally symmetric, vacuum solution of Einstein’s field equation with an attractive cosmological constant, and is the hyperquadric of semi-Euclidean space with index 2. So it is meaningful to study the submanifold in semi-Euclidean 4-space with index 2. However, the research on the submanifold in semi-Euclidean 4-space with index 2 has not been found from theory of singularity until now. In this paper, as a generalization of the study on lightlike hypersurface in Minkowski space and a preparation for the further study on anti de Sitter space, the singularities of lightlike hypersurface and Lorentzian surface in semi- Euclidean 4-space with index 2 will be studied. To do this, we reveal the relationships between the singularity of distance-squared function and that of lightlike hypersurface. In addition some geometric properties of lightlike hypersurface and Lorentzian surface are studied from geometrical point of view.  相似文献

We study timelike surfaces in Anti de Sitter 3-space as an application of singularity theory. We define two mappings associated to a timelike surface which are called Anti de Sitter nullcone Gauss image and Anti de Sitter torus Gauss map. We also define a family of functions named Anti de Sitter null height function on the timelike surface. We use this family of functions as a basic tool to investigate the geometric meanings of singularities of the Anti de Sitter nullcone Gauss image and the Anti de Sitter torus Gauss map.  相似文献

We look at geodesic foliations on the Lorentzian 2-tori which are lightlike on a proper subset. We prove that they do not exist if the torus is geodesically complete. We describe some properties of their orthogonal foliations and we give several new examples.   相似文献

The Lorentzian space form with the positive curvature is called de Sitter space which is an important subject in the theory of relativity. In this paper we consider spacelike curves in de Sitter 3-space. We define the notion of lightlike surfaces of spacelike curves in de Sitter 3-space. We investigate the geometric meanings of the singularities of such surfaces.

Quaternions are an important tool that provides a convenient and effective mathematical method for representing reflections and rotations in three-dimensional space. A unit timelike split quaternion represents a rotation in the Lorentzian space. In this paper, we give some geometric interpretations of split quaternions for lines and planes in the Minkowski 3-space with the help of mutual pseudo orthogonal planes. We classified mutual planes with respect to the casual character of the normals of the plane as follows; if the normal is timelike, then the mutual plane is isomorphic to the complex plane; if the normal is spacelike, then the plane is isomorphic to the hyperbolic number plane (Lorentzian plane); if the normal is lightlike, then the plane is isomorphic to the dual number plane (Galilean plane).  相似文献

This paper introduces a complex analysis for the wave equation and for a singular second-order partial differential equation. As a main application of this complex analysis we construct type changing zero mean curvature immersions into Minkowski space. We also prove the existence of isothermal coordinates on a Lorentzian surface using this complex analysis and characterize flat maximal surfaces by their Gauss image. Finally we study the metric singularities of maximal immersions and semi Riemannian manifolds in general.  相似文献

We study the geometric properties of degenerate surfaces, which are called AdS null surfaces, in Anti de Sitter 3-space from a contact viewpoint. These surfaces are associated to spacelike curves in Anti de Sitter 3-space. We define a map which is called the torus Gauss image. We also define two families of functions and use them to investigate the singularities of AdS null surfaces and torus Gauss images as applications of singularity theory of functions.  相似文献

In this paper, by introducing a new frame on spacelike curves lying in lightcone 3-space, we investigate the geometric properties of the lightlike surface of the Darboux-like indicatrix and the lightlike surface of the binormal indicatrix generated by spacelike curves in lightcone 3-space. As an extension of our previous work and an application of the singularity theory, the singularities of the lightlike surfaces of the Darboux-like indicatrix and the lightlike surface of the binormal indicatrix are classified, several new invariants of spacelike curves are discovered to be useful for characterizing these singularities, meanwhile, it is found that the new invariants also measure the order of contact between spacelike curves or principal normal indicatrixes of spacelike curves located in lightcone 3-space and two-dimensional lightcone whose vertices are at the singularities of lightlike surfaces. One concrete example is provided to illustrate our results.  相似文献

The main result of this paper is that a Lorentzian manifold is locally conformally equivalent to a manifold with recurrent lightlike vector field and totally isotropic Ricci tensor if and only if its conformal tractor holonomy admits a 2-dimensional totally isotropic invariant subspace. Furthermore, for semi-Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary signature we prove that the conformal holonomy algebra of a C-space is a Berger algebra. For Ricci-flat spaces we show how the conformal holonomy can be obtained by the holonomy of the ambient metric and get results for Riemannian manifolds and plane waves.  相似文献

We give some relations between conjugate points and curvature in a locally symmetric Lorentzian manifold. In the compact case, we show that the sectional curvature of timelike planes is non positive, and the lightlike sectional curvature of null planes is non negative. We also compute the lightlike conjugate loci of Cahen–Wallach manifolds, which are an important family of symmetric Lorentzian spaces.  相似文献

The authors study the geometry of lightlike hypersurfaces on manifolds (M, c) endowed with a pseudoconformal structure c = CO(n – 1, 1) of Lorentzian signature. Such hypersurfaces are of interest in general relativity since they can be models of different types of physical horizons. On a lightlike hypersurface, the authors consider the fibration of isotropic geodesics and investigate their singular points and singular submanifolds. They construct a conformally invariant normalization of a lightlike hypersurface intrinsically connected with its geometry and investigate affine connections induced by this normalization. The authors also consider special classes of lightlike hypersurfaces. In particular, they investigate lightlike hypersurfaces for which the elements of the constructed normalization are integrable.  相似文献

In this paper we deal with lightlike geodesics in Lorentzian manifolds which are closed with respect to the spatial coordinates. We consider the case where the initial point is fixed or moves on a level of a given time function. The case where the initial point is free is also considered, under a periodicity condition on the metric.  相似文献

In this paper we discuss the twistor equation in Lorentzian spin geometry. In particular, we explain the local conformal structure of Lorentzian manifolds, which admit twistor spinors inducing lightlike Dirac currents. Furthermore, we derive all local geometries with singularity free twistor spinors that occur up to dimension 7.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 53C15, 53C50in final form: 1 October 2003  相似文献

We classify static manifolds which admit more than one static decomposition whenever a condition on the curvature is fulfilled. For this, we take a standard static vector field and analyze its associated one parameter family of projections onto the base. We show that the base itself is a static manifold and the warping function satisfies severe restrictions, leading us to our classification results. Moreover, we show that certain condition on the lightlike sectional curvature ensures the uniqueness of static decomposition for Lorentzian manifolds.  相似文献

In this study, by using the concepts and results on spherical curves in dual Lorentzian space, we give the criterions for ruled surfaces with non‐lightlike ruling to be closed (periodic). Moreover, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions to guarantee that a timelike or a spacelike ruled surface is closed (periodic). Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

In this paper, we determine the type numbers of the pseudo-hyperbolic Gauss maps of all oriented Lorentzian surfaces of constant mean and Gaussian curvatures and non-diagonalizable shape operator in the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. Also, we investigate the behavior of type numbers of the pseudo-hyperbolic Gauss map along the parallel family of such oriented Lorentzian surfaces in the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. Furthermore, we investigate the type number of the pseudo-hyperbolic Gauss map of one of Lorentzian hypersurfaces of B-scroll type in a general dimensional anti-de Sitter space.  相似文献

We study the mechanisms of the non properness of the action of the group of diffeomorphisms on the space of Lorentzian metrics of a compact manifold. In particular, we prove that nonproperness entails the presence of lightlike geodesic foliations of codimension 1. On the 2-torus, we prove that a metric with constant curvature along one of its lightlike foliation is actually flat. This allows us to show that the restriction of the action to the set of non-flat metrics is proper and that on the set of flat metrics of volume 1 the action is ergodic. Finally, we show that, contrarily to the Riemannian case, the space of metrics without isometries is not always open.  相似文献
