Within the class of nonlinear hyperbolic balance laws posed on a curved spacetime (endowed with a volume form), we identify a hyperbolic balance law that enjoys the same Lorentz invariance property as the one satisfied by the Euler equations of relativistic compressible fluids. This model is unique up to normalization and converges to the standard inviscid Burgers equation in the limit of infinite light speed. Furthermore, from the Euler system of relativistic compressible flows on a curved background, we derive both the standard inviscid Burgers equation and our relativistic generalizations. The proposed models are referred to as relativistic Burgers equations on curved spacetimes and provide us with simple models on which numerical methods can be developed and analyzed. Next, we introduce a finite volume scheme for the approximation of discontinuous solutions to these relativistic Burgers equations. Our scheme is formulated geometrically and is consistent with the natural divergence form of the balance laws under consideration. It applies to weak solutions containing shock waves and, most importantly, is well balanced in the sense that it preserves static equilibrium solutions. Numerical experiments are presented which demonstrate the convergence of the proposed finite volume scheme and its relevance for computing entropy solutions on a curved background.

Derivation of the relativistic burgers equation on a de sitter background
Okutmuştur, Baver (null; 2014-12-17)
Recently several versions of relativistic Burgers equations have been derived on different spacetime geometries by the help of Lorentz invariance property and the Euler system of relativistic compressible flows on the related backgrounds. The concerning equations on Minkowski (flat) and Schwarzshild spacetimes are obtained in the article [6] where the finite volume approximations and numerical calculations of the given models are presented in detail. On the other hand a similar work on the Friedmann–Lemaˆıt...
Non-Abelian gauge theories of the Yang-Mills type
Abuhatab, Ahmed; Başkal, Sibel; Department of Physics (2003)
In this thesis, starting from the effective Lagrangians of the standard Yang-Mills, higher derivative Yang-Mills and the Chern-Simons- Yang-Mills theories, we have given the corresponding field equations and the symmetric gauge invariant energy- momentum tensors. Lagrangians containing higher derivative terms have been found useful for discussing the long lange effects of the gluon fields. A numeri cal solution is found for a spherically symmetric static gauge potential. On the other hand, Chern-Simons- Yan...
Covariant symplectic structure and conserved charges of new massive gravity
Alkaç, Gökhan; Sarıoğlu, Bahtiyar Özgür; Department of Physics (2012)
We show that the symplectic current obtained from the boundary term, which arises in the first variation of a local diffeomorphism invariant action, is covariantly conserved for any gravity theory described by that action.Therefore, a Poincaré invariant two-form can be constructed on the phase space, which is shown to be closed without reference to a specific theory.Finally, we show that one can obtain a charge expression for gravity theories in various dimensions, which plays the role of the Abbott-Deser-T...
Quantum mechanical computation of billiard systems with arbitrary shapes
Erhan, İnci; Taşeli, Hasan; Department of Mathematics (2003)
An expansion method for the stationary Schrodinger equation of a particle moving freely in an arbitrary axisymmeric three dimensional region defined by an analytic function is introduced. The region is transformed into the unit ball by means of coordinate substitution. As a result the Schrodinger equation is considerably changed. The wavefunction is expanded into a series of spherical harmonics, thus, reducing the transformed partial differential equation to an infinite system of coupled ordinary differenti...
Autoparallel orbits in Kerr Brans-Dicke spacetimes
Cebeci, H; Dereli, T; Tucker, RW (2004-01-01)
The bounded orbital motion of a massive spinless test particle in the background of a Kerr Brans-Dicke geometry is analysed in terms of worldlines that are auto-parallels of different metric compatible spacetime connections. In one case the connection is that of Levi-Civita with zero-torsion. In the second case the connection has torsion determined by the gradient of the Brans-Dicke background scalar field. The calculations permit one in principle to discriminate between these possibilities.
