摘要
本文探讨了在接纳中性度量的四维流形上的适当同调向量场 X 的零点情况。本文根据在所述零点处的里奇张量和韦尔张量的代数类型来描述这些零点的类型,并对这些零点的集合进行了几何描述。将这里出现的情况与正定符号和洛伦兹符号的情况进行了比较。并举例说明,从理论上推导出的这种零点的许多可能性实际上是存在的。
Zeros of homothetic vector fields in 4-dimensional manifolds of neutral signature
This paper explores the situation regarding the zeros of a proper homothetic vector field X on a 4-dimensional manifold admitting a metric of neutral signature. The types of such zeros are described in terms of the algebraic types of the Ricci tensor and Weyl tensor at the said zero together with a geometrical description of the set of such zeros. A comparison is made between the situation occurring here and that for positive definite and Lorentz signatures. Examples are given to show that many of the theoretical possibilities derived for such zeros actually exist.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Geometry and Physics is an International Journal in Mathematical Physics. The Journal stimulates the interaction between geometry and physics by publishing primary research, feature and review articles which are of common interest to practitioners in both fields.
The Journal of Geometry and Physics now also accepts Letters, allowing for rapid dissemination of outstanding results in the field of geometry and physics. Letters should not exceed a maximum of five printed journal pages (or contain a maximum of 5000 words) and should contain novel, cutting edge results that are of broad interest to the mathematical physics community. Only Letters which are expected to make a significant addition to the literature in the field will be considered.
