Variational Problems in Conformal Geometry [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2020
We study the Euler-Lagrange equation for several natural functionals defined on a conformal class of almost Hermitian metrics, whose expression involves the Lee form $θ$ of the metric. We show that the Gauduchon metrics are the unique extremal metrics of the functional corresponding to the norm of the codifferential of the Lee form.

Geometry of conformal vector fields

open access: yesArab Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 2017
It is well known that the Euclidean space (Rn,〈,〉), the n-sphere Sn(c) of constant curvature c and Euclidean complex space form (Cn,J,〈,〉) are examples of spaces admitting conformal vector fields and therefore conformal vector fields are used in ...

Tuning of Reciprocal Plasmonic Metasurface Resonances by Ultra-Thin Conformal Coatings

open access: yesOptics, 2022
Metamaterials, in the form of perfect absorbers, have recently received attention for sensing and light-harvesting applications. The fabrication of such metamaterials involves several process steps and can often lead to nonidealities, which limit the ...

A note on the Yamabe problem of Randers metrics [PDF]

open access: yesAUT Journal of Mathematics and Computing, 2021
The classical Yamabe problem in Riemannian geometry states that every conformal class contains a metric with constant scalar curvature. In Finsler geometry, the C-convexity is needed in general.

Fractional Laplacian in conformal geometry

open access: yesAdvances in Mathematics, 2011
In this note, we study the connection between the fractional Laplacian operator that appeared in the recent work of Caffarelli-Silvestre and a class of conformally covariant operators in conformal geometry.

A Linear-Nonlinear Formulation of Einstein Equations for the Two-Body Problem in General Relativity [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
A formulation of Einstein equations is presented that could yield advantages in the study of collisions of binary compact objects during regimes between linear-nonlinear transitions.

Conformal gravitational theories in Barthel–Kropina-type Finslerian geometry, and their cosmological implications

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
We consider dark energy models obtained from the general conformal transformation of the Kropina metric, representing an $$(\alpha , \beta )$$ ( α , β ) -type Finslerian geometry, constructed as the ratio of the square of a Riemannian metric $$\alpha ...

c-theorem of the entanglement entropy

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We holographically investigate the renormalization group flow in a two-dimensional conformal field theory deformed by a relevant operator. If the relevant operator allows another fixed point, the UV conformal field theory smoothly flows to a new IR ...

Massless fields in plane wave geometry

open access: yes, 1997
Conformal isometry algebras of plane wave geometry are studied. Then, based on the requirement of conformal invariance, a definition of masslessness is introduced and gauge invariant equations of motion, subsidiary conditions, and corresponding gauge ...

Loop groups and noncommutative geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We describe the representation theory of loop groups in terms of K-theory and noncommutative geometry. This is done by constructing suitable spectral triples associated with the level l projective unitary positive-energy representations of any given loop
