Scalar Curvature of a Causal Set [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2010
A one parameter family of retarded linear operators on scalar fields on causal sets is introduced. When the causal set is well approximated by 4 dimensional Minkowski spacetime, the operators are Lorentz invariant but nonlocal, are parametrized by the scale of the nonlocality, and approximate the continuum scalar D'Alembertian square when acting on ...

Non-linear isocurvature perturbations and non-Gaussianities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
24 pagesWe study non-linear primordial adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations and their non-Gaussianity. After giving a general formulation in the context of an extended $\delta N$ formalism, we analyse in detail two illustrative examples. The first is

Geometric Inequalities for a Submanifold Equipped with Distributions

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
The article introduces invariants of a Riemannian manifold related to the mutual curvature of several pairwise orthogonal subspaces of a tangent bundle. In the case of one-dimensional subspaces, this curvature is equal to half the scalar curvature of the

Volume and macroscopic scalar curvature

open access: yes, 2022
We prove the macroscopic cousins of three conjectures: (1) a conjectural bound of the simplicial volume of a Riemannian manifold in the presence of a lower scalar curvature bound, (2) the conjecture that rationally essential manifolds do not admit ...

The prescribed Chern scalar curvature problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The paper is an attempt to resolve the prescribed Chern scalar curvature problem. We look for solutions within the conformal class of a fixed Hermitian metric.

Erratum to: Total Scalar Curvature and Harmonic Curvature

open access: yesTaiwanese Journal of Mathematics, 2016
It has been realized that the proof of Theorem 5.1 in Section 5 is imcomplete. It was pointed out by Professor Jongsu Kim and Israel Evangelista.

Memory effects in Kundt wave spacetimes

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2020
Memory effects in the exact Kundt wave spacetimes are shown to arise in the behaviour of geodesics in such spacetimes. The types of Kundt spacetimes we consider here are direct products of the form H2×M(1,1) and S2×M(1,1).

Generalized disformal invariance of cosmological perturbations with second-order field derivatives

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2021
We investigate how the comoving curvature and tensor perturbations are transformed under the generalized disformal transformation with the second-order covariant derivatives of the scalar field, where the free functions depend on the fundamental elements

Curvature-Dimension Condition Meets Gromov's n-Volumic Scalar Curvature

open access: yes, 2021
We study the properties of the n-volumic scalar curvature in this note. Lott-Sturm-Villani's curvature-dimension condition CD(κ, ) was shown to imply Gromov's -volumic scalar curvature ≥ κ under an additional -dimensional condition, and we show the ...
