Abstract

In the present paper, it has been obtained that the fundamental group of n-dimensional Minkowski space with the time topology contains uncountably many copies of the additive group of integers and is not abelian. The result has been first proved for n = 2. Thereafter, it is extended to n > 2 by proving that loops nonhomotopic in M2 continue to be nonhomotopic in Mn using embedding of M2 in Mn as a retract through the projection map.

平面时空基本群的非标注性
本文得出,具有时间拓扑的 n 维闵科夫斯基空间的基群包含不可计数的整数加法群副本,并且不是无边际的。这一结果首先是在 n = 2 时证明的。此后,通过使用 M2 在 Mn 中的嵌入作为通过投影图的回缩,证明 M2 中的非同调环在 Mn 中继续是非同调的,从而将其扩展到 n > 2。

期刊介绍: Reports on Mathematical Physics publish papers in theoretical physics which present a rigorous mathematical approach to problems of quantum and classical mechanics and field theories, relativity and gravitation, statistical physics, thermodynamics, mathematical foundations of physical theories, etc. Preferred are papers using modern methods of functional analysis, probability theory, differential geometry, algebra and mathematical logic. Papers without direct connection with physics will not be accepted. Manuscripts should be concise, but possibly complete in presentation and discussion, to be comprehensible not only for mathematicians, but also for mathematically oriented theoretical physicists. All papers should describe original work and be written in English.
