In the scientific literature, the field theory is most fully covered in the cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems. This is explained by the fact that the mathematical apparatus of these systems is most well studied. When the source of field has a more complex structure than a point or a straight line, there is a need for new approaches to their study. The goal of this research is to adapt the field theory related to curvilinear coordinates in order to represent it in the normal conical coordinates. In addition, an important part of the research is the development of a geometrical modeling apparatus for scalar and vector field level surfaces using computer graphics. The paper shows the dependences of normal conical coordinates on rectangular Cartesian coordinates, Lame coefficients. The differential characteristics of the scalar and vector fields in normal conical coordinates are obtained: Laplacian of scalar and vector fields, divergence, rotation of the vector field. The example case shows the features of the application of the mathematical apparatus of geometrical field modeling in normal conical coordinates. For the first time, expressions for the characteristics of the scalar and vector fields in normal conical coordinates are obtained. Methods for geometrical modeling of fields using computer graphics have been developed to provide illustration in their study.

Field theory is widely represented in spherical and cylindrical coordinate systems, since the mathematical apparatus of these coordinate systems has been thoroughly studied. Sources of field with more complex structures require new approaches to their study. The purpose of this research is to adapt the field theory referred to curvilinear coordinates and represent it in normal toroidal coordinates. Another purpose is to develop the foundations of geometric modeling with the use of computer graphics for visualizing the level surfaces. The dependence of normal toroidal coordinates on rectangular Cartesian coordinates and Lame coefficients is shown in this scientific paper. Differential characteristics of scalar and vector fields in normal toroidal coordinates are obtained: scalar and vector field laplacians, divergence, and rotation of vector field. The example shows the technique of modeling the field and its further computer visualization. The technique of reading the internal equation of the surface is presented and the influence of the values of the parameters on the shape of the surface is shown. For the first time, expressions of scalar and vector field characteristics in normal toroidal coordinates are obtained, the fundamentals of geometric modeling of fields with the use of computer graphics tools are developed for the purpose of providing visibility for their study.

We propose a new class of vector fields to construct a conserved charge in a general field theory whose energy–momentum tensor is covariantly conserved. We show that there always exists such a vector field in a given field theory even without global symmetry. We also argue that the conserved current constructed from the (asymptotically) timelike vector field can be identified with the entropy current of the system. As a piece of evidence we show that the conserved charge defined therefrom satisfies the first law of thermodynamics for an isotropic system with a suitable definition of temperature. We apply our formulation to several gravitational systems such as the expanding universe, Schwarzschild and Banãdos, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ) black holes, and gravitational plane waves. We confirm the conservation of the proposed entropy density under any homogeneous and isotropic expansion of the universe, the precise reproduction of the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy incorporating the first law of thermodynamics, and the existence of gravitational plane wave carrying no charge, respectively. We also comment on the energy conservation during gravitational collapse in simple models.

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>In this paper, we study the correspondence between a field theory in de Sitter space in D-dimensions and a dual conformal feld theory in a euclidean space in (D - 1)-dimensions. In particular, we investigate the form in which this correspondence is established for a system of interacting scalar and a vector fields propagating in de Sitter space. We analyze some necessary (but not sucient) conditions for which conformal symmetry is preserved in the dual theory in (D - 1)-dimensions, making possible the establishment of the correspondence. The discussion that we address in this paper is framed on the context of <em>inationary cosmology</em>. Thusly, the results obtained here pose some relevant possibilities of application to the calculation of the fields’s correlation functions and of the <em>primordial curvature perturbation</em> \zeta, in inationary models including coupled scalar and vector fields.</span></p></div></div></div></div>

In this work, we investigate the thermodynamic behavior of the generalized scalar Yukawa model, composed of a complex scalar field interacting with real scalar and vector fields. In particular, boundary effects on the phase structure are discussed using methods of quantum field theory on toroidal topologies. We concentrate on the dependence of the thermodynamics with the number of compactified spatial dimensions. In this sense, the phase transitions are analyzed and compared with the system in the situations of one, two and three compactified spatial dimensions. Our findings suggest that the presence of more boundaries tends to inhibit the broken phase.

A simple way to construct models with early cosmological Genesis epoch is to employ bosonic fields whose Lagrangians transform homogeneously under scaling transformation. We show that in these theories, for a range of parameters defining the Lagrangian, there exists a homogeneous power-law solution in flat space-time, whose energy density vanishes, while pressure is negative (power-law Genesis). We find the condition for the legitimacy of the classical field theory description of such a situation. We note that this condition does not hold for our earlier Genesis model with vector field. We construct another model with vector field and power-law background solution in flat space-time, which is legitimately treated within classical field theory, violates the Null Energy Condition (NEC) and is stable. Upon turning on gravity, this model describes the early Genesis stage.

In this paper, we first understand the classical [Formula: see text]-structure and [Formula: see text]-geometry from the viewpoint of spinor, which is a more familiar framework for physicists. Explicit construction of invariant spinor is given via the Dirac gamma matrices. We introduce a notion of multispinor bundle associated with invariant spinor and differential operator on the section of this bundle. Then we study the vector fields satisfy some additional properties on [Formula: see text]-manifold, more precisely, we prove some no-go theorems corresponding to the vector field preserving the associated 4-form on [Formula: see text]-manifold, and we also consider the nowhere-vanishing vector field which induces an integrable complex structure on the vertical direction of tangent bundle. Next we discuss the relation between the variation of metric and that of effective action on the moduli space of integrable [Formula: see text]-structures. In the last section, we deal with the structure operators on generalized [Formula: see text]-manifold after describing the integrability of generalized [Formula: see text]-structure, some identities of structure operators are derived, which are analogues of Kähler-type and Weitzenböck-type identities under the classical case. And finally, we introduce a flow of which a generalized [Formula: see text]-manifold can be realized as the fixed point.

AbstractWe introduce a family of pairings between a bounded divergence-measure vector field and a function u of bounded variation, depending on the choice of the pointwise representative of u. We prove that these pairings inherit from the standard one, introduced in [G. Anzellotti, Pairings between measures and bounded functions and compensated compactness, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 135 1983, 293–318], [G.-Q. Chen and H. Frid, Divergence-measure fields and hyperbolic conservation laws, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 147 1999, 2, 89–118], all the main properties and features (e.g. coarea, Leibniz, and Gauss–Green formulas). We also characterize the pairings making the corresponding functionals semicontinuous with respect to the strict convergence in \mathrm{BV}. We remark that the standard pairing in general does not share this property.

Motivated by the hindrance of defining metric tensors compatible with the underlying spinor structure, other than the ones obtained via a conformal transformation, we study how some geometric objects are affected by the action of a disformal transformation in the closest scenario possible: the disformal transformation in the direction of a null-like vector field. Subsequently, we analyze symmetry properties such as mutual geodesics and mutual Killing vectors, generalized Weyl transformations that leave the disformal relation invariant, and introduce the concept of disformal Killing vector fields. In most cases, we use the Schwarzschild metric, in the Kerr–Schild formulation, to verify our calculations and results. We also revisit the disformal operator using a Newman–Penrose basis to show that, in the null-like case, this operator is not diagonalizable.

AbstractFor certainCr3-dimensional cooperative or competitive vector fieldsF, whereris any positive integer, it is shown that for any nonwandering pointp, every neighborhood ofFin theCrtopology contains a vector field for whichpis periodic, and which agrees withFoutside a given neighborhood ofp. The proof is based on the existence of invariant planar surfaces throughp.
