A note on 4-dimensional locally conformally flat Walker manifolds

A 4-dimensional Walker metric on a semi Riemanian manifold M, for the canonical metric with c = 0, have been investigated by M. Chaichi, E. García—Río and Y. Matsushita. The paper generalizes these notions to the case of constant c ≠ 0. Specially the form of defining functions of this metric in locally conformally flat 4-dimensional Walker manifolds is found.     

On warped product manifolds satisfying some curvature conditions

We determine curvature properties of pseudosymmetric type of certain warped product manifolds, and in particular of generalized Robertson–Walker spacetimes, with Einsteinian or quasi-Einsteinian fibre.     

Estimation de Yule–Walker d'un CAR(p) observé à temps discret

Let (X(lδ), l=0,n) be a discrete observation at mesh δ>0 of X, a CAR(p). Classical Yule–Walker estimation are biased and must be corrected. Resultant estimators converge if T=nδ→+∞, are asymptotically normal with rate , and efficient. The diffusion coefficient is also estimated, with rate .     

Spin-rotation coupling and Fermi–Walker transport

It is demonstrated that a spin-rotation coupling term only appears in the Hamiltonian of a Dirac particle if the rotating frame obeys the rules of Fermi–Walker transport. This is illustrated by examples in Minkowski space and the paper concludes with some speculations about spin-rotation coupling in Kerr space-time.     

Uniqueness of complete spacelike hypersurfaces via their higher order mean curvatures in a conformally stationary spacetime

We study complete noncompact spacelike hypersurfaces immersed into conformally stationary spacetimes, that is, Lorentzian manifolds endowed with a timelike conformal vector field V. In this setting, by using as main analytical tool a suitable maximum principle for complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds, we establish new characterizations of totally umbilical hypersurfaces in terms of their higher order mean curvatures. For instance, supposing an appropriated restriction on the norm of the tangential component of the vector field V, we are able to show that such hypersurfaces must be totally umbilical provided that either some of their higher order mean curvatures are linearly related or one of them is constant. Applications to the so‐called generalized Robertson‐Walker spacetimes are given. In particular, we extend to the Lorentzian context a classical result due to Jellett  29 .     

Totally umbilic null hypersurfaces in generalized Robertson–Walker spaces

We show that there is a correspondence between totally umbilic null hypersurfaces in generalized Robertson–Walker spaces and twisted decompositions of the fibre. This allows us to prove that nullcones are the unique totally umbilic null hypersurfaces in the closed Friedmann Cosmological model. We also apply this kind of ideas to static spaces, in particular to Reissner–Nordström and Schwarzschild exterior spacetimes.     

Order Determination for Multivariate Autoregressive Processes Using Resampling Methods

LetX₁, …, X_nbe observations from a multivariate AR(p) model with unknown orderp. A resampling procedure is proposed for estimating the orderp. The classical criteria, such as AIC and BIC, estimate the orderpas the minimizer of the function[formula]wherenis the sample size,kis the order of the fitted model, Σ²_kis an estimate of the white noise covariance matrix, andC_nis a sequence of specified constants (for AIC,C_n=2m²/n, for Hannan and Quinn's modification of BIC,C_n=2m²(ln ln n)/n, wheremis the dimension of the data vector). A resampling scheme is proposed to estimate an improved penalty factorC_n. Conditional on the data, this procedure produces a consistent estimate ofp. Simulation results support the effectiveness of this procedure when compared with some of the traditional order selection criteria. Comments are also made on the use of Yule–Walker as opposed to conditional least squares estimations for order selection.

Early Universe in Scalar-Tensor Theory

We consider the flat Robertson–Walker model in scalar-tensor theory proposed by Lau and Prokhovnik. In this model, the field equations are solved by using “gamma-law” form of equation of state p=(γ−1)ρ, where the adiabatic parameter ‘gamma’ (γ) varies continuously as the universe expands. Our aim is to study how the adiabatic parameter γ should vary so that in the course of its evolution the universe goes through a transition from an inflationary to a radiation-dominated phase. A unified one parameter function of γ has been considered to describe the two early phases of evolution of universe. The solutions show the power-law expansion and cosmological constant is found to be positive and decreasing function of cosmic time. The solutions are compatible with the Dirac’s large number hypothesis. The deceleration parameter has been presented in a unified manner in terms of scale factor, which describes the inflation of the model. The nature of singularity and the physical properties have been discussed in details.     

基于Fisher判别分析与随机森林的马尾松毛虫害检测

虫害检测算法的构建是耦合“地-天”特征的过程,是实现其遥感监测的重要保障。以福建省三明市、将乐县、沙县、南平市延平区等4个县(区、市)为试验区,收集182组马尾松毛虫害样本数据,随机划分为训练集与验证集,设置5次重复试验及1次指标筛除试验。结合马尾松毛虫危害下的寄主表征,获取松林叶面积指数LAI、叶面积指数标准误SEL、归一化差值植被指数NDVI、缨帽变换湿度轴WET及影像绿光波段B₂、红光波段B₃、近红外波段B₄等7个地面与遥感特征指标,建立其危害等级的Fisher判别分析与随机森林模型,从检测精度、Kappa系数、ROC曲线等角度综合比较两种算法的检测效果,并给予配对t检验。结果表明：7个指标均具备虫害响应能力,SEL和NDVI相对较弱;Fisher判别分析6次试验的虫害平均检测精度为73.26%,Kappa系数为0.631 9,而RF法则分别为79.30%,0.715 1,显著优于前者(p＜0.05);RF法对无危害、轻度危害、中度危害3个虫害等级的检测精度、Kappa系数、AUC均显著高于Fisher判别分析(p＜0.05),对于重度危害等级,Fisher判别分析则占优。总体而言,RF法对马尾松毛虫害的检测效果优于Fisher判别分析,但Fisher判别分析对重度危害等级有更高准确性且模型明确、易于推广,可综合应用两种算法开展虫害监测工作。该成果为马尾松毛虫害及其他森林病虫害的有效检测提供技术参考,奠定其遥感监测的基础。
