In this work, two particular orthogonal and conformal decompositions of the 3+1 dimensional Einstein equation and Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) formalism for general relativity are obtained. In order to do these, the 3+1 foliation of the four-dimensional spacetime, the fundamental conformal transformations and the Hamiltonian form of general relativity that leads to the ADM formalism, deﬁned for the conserved quantities of the hypersurfaces of the globally-hyperbolic asymptotically flat spacetimes, are reconstructed. All the calculations up to chapter 7 are just a review. We propose a method in chapter 7 which gives an interesting relation between the Cotton (Conformal) soliton and the static vacuum solutions. The formulation that we introduce can be extended to find the gradient Cotton soliton and the solutions of Topologically Massive Gravity (TMG) as well as the gradient Ricci soliton.

İnvestigating the semileptonic B to K1(1270,1400) decays in QCD sum rules Dağ, Hüseyin; Zeyrek, Mehmet Tevfik; Department of Physics (2010) Quantum Chromodynamics(QCD) is part of the Standard Model(SM) that describes the interaction of fundamental particles. In QCD, due to the fact that strong coupling constant is large at low energies, perturbative approaches do not work. For this reason, non-perturbative approaches have to be used for studying the properties of hadrons. Among several non-perturbative approaches, QCD sum rules is one of the reliable methods which is applied to understand the properties of hadrons and their interactions.\ In th...
A physical model for dimensional reduction and its effects on the observable parameters of the universe Karaca, Koray; Bayın, Selçuk; Department of Physics (2005) In this thesis, assuming that higher spatial dimensions existed only during the inflationary prematter phases of the universe, we construct a (1+D)-dimensional (D>3), nonsingular, homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann model for dimensional reduction. In this model, dimensional reduction occurs in the form of a phase transition that follows from a purely thermodynamical consideration that the universe heats up during the inflationary prematter phases. When the temperature reaches its Planck value Tpl,D, which ...
Quantum mechanics on curved hypersurfaces Olpak, Mehmet Ali; Tekin, Bayram; Department of Physics (2010) In this work, Schrödinger and Dirac equations will be examined in geometries that confine the particles to hypersurfaces. For this purpose, two methods will be considered. The first method is the thin layer method which relies on explicit use of geometrical relations and the squeezing of a certain coordinate of space (or spacetime). The second is Dirac’s quantization procedure involving the modification of canonical quantization making use of the geometrical constraints. For the Dirac equation, only the fir...
Numerical studies of the electronic properties of low dimensional semiconductor heterostructures Dikmen, Bora; Tomak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2004) An efficient numerical method for solving Schrödinger's and Poisson's equations using a basis set of cubic B-splines is investigated. The method is applied to find both the wave functions and the corresponding eigenenergies of low-dimensional semiconductor structures. The computational efficiency of the method is explicitly shown by the multiresolution analysis, non-uniform grid construction and imposed boundary conditions by applying it to well-known single electron potentials. The method compares well wit...
