We present a study of Rainich-like conditions for symmetric and trace-free tensors T . For arbitrary even rank we find a necessary and sufficient differential condition for a tensor to satisfy the source-free field equation. For rank 4, in a generic case, we combine these conditions with previously obtained algebraic conditions to gain a complete set of algebraic and differential conditions on T for it to be a superenergy tensor of a Weyl candidate tensor, satisfying the Bianchi vacuum equations. By a result of Bell and Szekeres, this implies that in vacuum, generically, T must be the Bel–Robinson tensor of the spacetime. For the rank 3 case, we derive a complete set of necessary algebraic and differential conditions for T to be the superenergy tensor of a massless spin-3/2 field, satisfying the source-free field equation.

We extend the Funk–Radon–Helgason inversion method of mean value operators to the Radon transform [Formula: see text] of continuous and Lpfunctions which are integrated over matrix planes in the space of real rectangular matrices. Necessary and sufficient conditions of existence of [Formula: see text] for such f and explicit inversion formulas are obtained. New higher-rank phenomena related to this setting are investigated.

We establish a construction of the bulk local operators in AdS by considering CFT at finite energy scale. Without assuming any prior knowledge about the bulk, the solution to the bulk free field equation automatically appears in the field theory arguments. In the radial quantization formalism, we find a properly regularized version of our initial construction. Possible generalizations beyond pure AdS are also discussed.

SynopsisWe consider a two-parameter system of ordinary differential equations of the second order involving complex potentials and show that, unlike the case of real potentials, the eigenfunctions of the system do not necessarily form a complete set in the usual Hilbert space associated with the problem. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for the eigenfunctions to be complete. Finally, we establish some results concerning the eigenvalues of the system.

This paper is concerned with a neutral differential equation with four constant coefficients, one delay and one advancement. By means of the theory of envelopes, we consider all possible values of the parameters involved in the equation and obtain a complete set of necessary and sufficient conditions for all solutions to be oscillatory.

The quantum field theory in de Sitter ambient space provide us with a comprehensive description of massless gravitational field. Using the gauge-covariant derivative in the de Sitter ambient space, the gauge invariant Lagrangian density has been found.In this paper, the equation of the conjugate spinor for massless spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ field is obtained by Euler-Lagrange equation. Then the field equation is written in terms of the Casimir operator of the de Sitter group. Finally, the gauge invariant field equation is presented.
