Gravitational instanton in Hilbert space and the mass of high energy elementary particles

While the theory of relativity was formulated in real spacetime geometry, the exact formulation of quantum mechanics is in a mathematical construction called Hilbert space. For this reason transferring a solution of Einstein’s field equation to a quantum gravity Hilbert space is far of being a trivial problem.

On the other hand ^(∞) spacetime which is assumed to be real is applicable to both, relativity theory and quantum mechanics. Consequently, one may expect that a solution of Einstein’s equation could be interpreted more smoothly at the quantum resolution using the Cantorian ^(∞) theory.

In the present paper we will attempt to implement the above strategy to study the Eguchi–Hanson gravitational instanton solution and its interpretation by ‘t Hooft in the context of quantum gravity Hilbert space as an event and a possible solitonic “extended” particle. Subsequently we do not only reproduce the result of ‘t Hooft but also find the mass of a fundamental “exotic” symplictic-transfinite particle m1.8 MeV as well as the mass M_x and M (Planck) which are believed to determine the GUT and the total unification of all fundamental interactions respectively. This may be seen as a further confirmation to an argument which we put forward in various previous publications in favour of an alternative mass acquisition mechanism based on unification and duality considerations. Thus even in case that we never find the Higgs particle experimentally, the standard model would remain substantially intact as we can appeal to tunnelling and unification arguments to explain the mass. In fact a minority opinion at present is that finding the Higgs particle is not a final conclusive argument since one could ask further how the Higgs particle came to its mass which necessitates a second Higgs field. By contrast the present argument could be viewed as an ultimate theory based on the existence of a “super” force, beyond which nothing else exists.     

Finsler空间上的Weyl曲率

The Weyl curvature of a Finsler metric is investigated. This curvature constructed from Riemannain curvature. It is an important projective invariant of Finsler metrics. The author gives the necessary conditions on Weyl curvature for a Finsler metric to be Randers metric and presents examples of Randers metrics with non-scalar curvature. A global rigidity theorem for compact Finsler manifolds satisfying such conditions is proved. It is showed that for such a Finsler manifold,if Ricci scalar is negative,then Finsler metric is of Randers type.     

Mean curvature flow with a forcing term in minkowski space

We study the forced mean curvature flow of graphs in Minkowski space and prove longtime existence of solutions. When the forcing term is a constant, we prove convergence to either a constant mean curvature hypersurface or a translating soliton – depending on the boundary conditions at infinity. It is a pleasure to thank my PhD advisors Klaus Ecker and Gerhard Huisken for their assistance and encouragement. I also thank Maria Athanassenas, Oliver Schnürrer and Marty Ross for their interest and useful comments, and the Max Planck Gesellschaft for financial support.

Helicoidal surfaces in Minkowski space with constant mean curvature and constant Gauss curvature

We classify all helicoidal non-degenerate surfaces in Minkowski space with constant mean curvature whose generating curve is a the graph of a polynomial or a Lorentzian circle. In the first case, we prove that the degree of the polynomial is 0 or 1 and that the surface is ruled. If the generating curve is a Lorentzian circle, we prove that the only possibility is that the axis is spacelike and the center of the circle lies on the axis.

Submanifolds of positive Ricci curvature in a Euclidean space

In this paper we study the role of constant vector fields on a Euclidean space R ^n+p in shaping the geometry of its compact submanifolds. For an n-dimensional compact submanifold M of the Euclidean space R ^n+p with mean curvature vector field H and a constant vector field on R ^n+p , the smooth function is used to obtain a characterization of sphere among compact submanifolds of positive Ricci curvature (cf. main Theorem).      

Complete spacelike submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector in a semi-Euclidean space

Our aim in this article is to study the geometry of n-dimensional complete spacelike submanifolds immersed in a semi-Euclidean space \({\mathbb{R}^{n+p}_{q}}\) of index q, with \({1\leq q\leq p}\). Under suitable constraints on the Ricci curvature and on the second fundamental form, we establish sufficient conditions to a complete maximal spacelike submanifold of \({\mathbb{R}^{n+p}_{q}}\) be totally geodesic. Furthermore, we obtain a nonexistence result concerning complete spacelike submanifolds with nonzero parallel mean curvature vector in \({\mathbb{R}^{n+p}_{p}}\) and, as a consequence, we get a rigidity result for complete constant mean curvature spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in the Lorentz–Minkowski space \({\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_{1}}\).     

Dirac-Lu space with pseudo-Riemannian metric of constant curvature

In this paper, we will discuss the geometries of the Dirac-Lu space whose boundary is the third conformal space N defined by Dirac and Lu. We firstly give the SO(3, 3) invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric with constant curvature on this space, and then discuss the timelike geodesics. Finally we get a solution of the Yang-Mills equation on it by using the reduction theorem of connections.
