Conformal vector fields with respect to the Sasaki metric tensor field Şimşir, Fatma Muazzez; Tezer, Cem; Department of Mathematics (2005) On the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold the most natural choice of metric tensor field is the Sasaki metric. This immediately brings up the question of infinitesimal symmetries associated with the inherent geometry of the tangent bundle arising from the Sasaki metric. The elucidation of the form and the classification of the Killing vector fields have already been effected by the Japanese school of Riemannian geometry in the sixties. In this thesis we shall take up the conformal vector fields of the ...
Some finite-dimensional backward shift-invariant subspaces in the ball and a related factorization problem Alpay, D; Kaptanoglu, HT (2000-12-15) Beurling's theorem characterizes subspaces of the Hardy space invariant under the forward-shift operator in terms of inner functions. In this Note we consider the case where the ball replaces the open unit desk and the reproducing kernel Hilbert space with reproducing kernel 1/(1-Sigma (N)(1) a(j)w(j)*) replaces the Hardy space. We give explicit formulas which generalize Blaschke products in the case of spaces of finite codimension. (C) 2000 Academie des sciences/Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier...
ON GENERALIZED LOCAL SYMMETRIES OF THE SO(2,1) INVARIANT NONLINEAR SIGMA-MODEL BASKAL, S; ERIS, A; SATIR, A (1994-12-19) The symmetries and associated conservation laws of the SO(2,1) invariant non-linear sigma model equations in 1+1 dimensions are investigated. An infinite family of generalized local symmetries is presented and the uniqueness of these solutions is discussed.
C D-0(K, E) and C D-omega(K, E)-spaces as Banach lattices Alpay, S; Ercan, Z (2000-01-01) Banach lattices CD0(K,E) and CDomega(K,E) are introduced and lattice-norm properties of these spaces are investigated. We identify the centre and order continuous dual of these spaces.
CAUSALITY AND KALLEN-LEHMANN-LIKE REPRESENTATION OF THE FERMIONIC STRING PROPAGATOR FAINBERG, VY; FILKOV, AL (1993-12-10) A spectral representation for the Green's functions of the free fermionic Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz string is obtained. This representation is valid for any initial and final string configurations and it manifests an exponential growth of spectral densities intrinsic in nonlocalizable theories. The causal and singular properties of the propagators are considered.
